What is the real difference between Microsoft internet explorer and Mozilla firefox? you can compare tech all you want, functions here and memory usage there.. I'm thinking more of a philosophical difference to be honest.
Think of cars, you have the everyday stationwagons, they do what they are supposed to do but with no frills no extras and little comfort or pleasure to use.
Then you have a hotrod, a car that functions the way it should but with a ton of extras, be it in horsepower, audio systems, comfort, responsiveness..
The philosophical difference between firefox and explorer is as simple as that..
Firefox is the hotrod of the webbrowsers, you tinker, you tweak, you add things, block other things. It's an endless process of user improvements adding themes and extensions. Never quiet done but by far more effective than the Proprietary counterpart.
Same as with hotrods, they are never done.. new seats, new cd player, new suspension, new rims ad infinitum.
Explorer is for those who simply want basic functionallity, whereas Firefox is for those who want to expand and enrich their browsing experience by their own hands.
Firefox is like hotrods, a lifelong love....
