StrictI just read an interesting story on CNET about Nokia funding the development of Minimo, a cell-phone-sized version of their Mozilla web browsing technology.
Last year I wrote about Firefox (then called “Firebird”), Mozilla’s stand-alone web browser. Since then, Firefox has become even faster, more stable, and more feature-rich. They just released version 0.9, the last version before the 1.0 milestone. Even now, Firefox is so much better than Microsoft’s Internet Explorer in every regard that I cringe whenever I am forced to open IE, which I only do when some poorly-written web site doesn’t follow well-established internet standards and instead relies on Microsoft’s misguided “extensions”. If this happens when I’m at a commercial website, I simply take my business elsewhere.
Anyway, it’s nice to see some cash flowing Mozilla’s way. If it weren’t for them, web browsing would be a very bland and often-maddening experience. I eagerly look forward to the day when I can put away IE for good!
