Which browser should I switch to?

Microsoft is getting ready to change IE after being sued 500 mill$ for patent infringments

1 : It is seriously fucked up that MS has to change their browser after that case. I hate MS as much as anyone here, but thats a bad decision by the courts there (I take it we are talking about the "active x" case?
2 : Firebird is only kind of "mozilla lite..." Its the new version of Mozilla with only the web browser, and it's pretty cool. Much prettier too, although I haven't used many Mozilla themes. If you get Mozilla (Firebird is still beta I think) don't worry about the default theme, there's a better one there too. ;) My vote is for Firebird though. :D
Actually wait! I vote for Linx! (joke!)

Firebird...
it's not that it's a "Lite" version, it's designed to be modular from the start, so you can make it as "heavy" as you want ;)

Zardoz, your sig just got written in permanent marker on my fuckmicrosoft.com poster. :D
edit : ie this one -
Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.

Mozilla 1.5 comes with the spell checker included.
It doesn't say that here: http://mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.5b/installation-extras.html
but it does say that here: http://spellchecker.mozdev.org , go figure.
You'll also want to visit: http://plugindoc.mozdev.org
I you don't need the editor and MozMail, get Firebird instead.
Why Use Mozilla?
