Why do people prefer mozilla to IE???


Mozilla overtaking microsoft's Internet explorer??. This is the truth due to many reasons. People prefer other browser like mozilla and opera. This is happening even in the browsing centres. Some reasons that may be attributed are:
Tabbed browsing

This is the feature supported in mozilla to display more than one site in the same window. Using this feature the user can just switch between sites easily,without having to minimize and maximize windows. New tab can be added from the file menu or using ctrl+t short cut.

Control over text zooming

We can zoom text to any size. IE only has five font sizes and has no keyboard shortcut. Some sites display text and contents in small fonts, so having larger sizes in necessary for clarity.

deleting cookies individually

The cookie manager in mozilla allows you delete individual cookies without having to search around your file system. In IE it is difficult to find out cookies individually and delete them.This feature is of great use to the user.

Multiple versions installed at once

We can have multiple versions of mozilla software installed the same system.This feature avoids uninstall procedure and upgrades as needed in other softwares.

There are many other reasons to be mentioned to prove mozilla is advantageous than IE.
The appearance is not that impressive in IE.Microsoft has brought in IE 7 to improve the appearance as well as performance.
