For one, its relative unpopularity makes it an unattractive target for the spammers and spyware authors that write the code that breaks Internet Explorer. You might ask, however, if Firefox is unpopular now and we all take your advice, won’t it grow into a big enough target such that it stops passing under the bad guys’ radar? Fortunately the browser has quite a bit more going for it: Released by the non-profit Mozilla Foundation, it is an open-source application created by people who like...
...quite a bit faster than Internet Explorer), or of some of its advanced features—like tabbed browsing—which have revolutionized the way in which I surf the web, but I think even more compelling than these things is to point out the enormous support Firefox has already garnered in its short history.

What with the First Secretary on the radio trying to talk him down, and the second Firefox prototype trying to shoot him down, Mitchell Gant has his hands full. He is engaged in a dogfight covering thousands of square miles, and it is a thing of wit and beauty and, above all, lightning reflexes. These planes move with the blasting power of a Star Wars spaceship, and it is fun to see the future zinging and skittering through our own airspace.
