Myth - "Firefox and Mozilla are Not for Profit" - example
Reality - "The Mozilla Corporation pays its employees from the revenues we receive from our product. We are very fortunate in that the search feature in Firefox is both appreciated by our users and generates revenue in the tens of millions of dollars." - source
"Now, the Mozilla Foundation, the non-profit entity that develops and distributes Firefox, is forming a for-profit subsidiary that will eventually capitalize on the browser's popularity. The Mozilla Foundation will announce today that it has formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Mozilla Corp." - Forbes source
"Unlike the non-profit Mozilla Foundation, the Mozilla Corporation will be a taxable entity (that is, a for-profit rather than a non-profit)" - censured source?

how the hell a browser can consume 30MB for www.google.com :(
EviL: A few comments:
Non-profit: Just because Mozilla Corporation makes a profit from its product doesn't mean that the project is just about profit. Where IE is designed for profit, so to speak, the FF profit is just a bonus that aids it development.
Mem usage: True. It's a fact that FF is one big mem leak. IE does better for two reasons: 1) It knows how to use Windows' swap file properly 2) Its GUI is not built-up using DOM elements and javascript.
I'd like to see the same comparison with IE vs SeaMonkey though.
Speed: Truth, that about Opera. I don't really understand how anyone can claim FF is the fastest browser. \:

Thats why ive been sticking to Mozaik all along
Evil, nitro: did you even read that "example"-post about the speed? it's not about rendering, but downloading...
IE is designed for profit? while you can download if for free? ok, it's OS-specific and you need to buy that OS... and buying that OS 'aids its development' (and yes, i mean the browser)... so come again...
FF and Iceweasel are rubbish even under Linux mem/speedwise (hey, usage of the swap should be known, it's OPENSOURCE after all plus a dedicated partition on my hard disk!!), whereas under XP it runs way better.
Opera is quite fine if the GUI aspects of it werent so fucking nazi.. what's wrong with optimal customization (like DRAGGING where you want toolbars to be) rather than that 'hack' to get the tabs UNDER the addressbar.. But that's just a personal sneer :P
Another downside with Opera is that it's sooooo balls-on-accurate following strictness of (HT/DHT/X)ML/CSS rules that 'average Joe'-websites that arent 100% compatible with those strict rules show up 'wrong'. That's just bloody annoying if backgrounds vanish just because someone did link a background pic in the .css but overruled it with a default BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF in the <body> ;)

kkimmi^ne: Seriously, it's not like it's difficult to write valid markup and css.
Loose browsers did no good to the web in the mid-lat 90's. Personnally I'd rather see average Joe's web sites crumble on his own incompetence to follow a basic set of standards than have loose browsers again and in the end, pages that are a nightmare maintain, to make sense of, not parsable as XML.

kus ma bite: No, I guess I didn't. I only read the "source" link. However, I've heard people say that FF is the fastest browser before.
KKIMMI^NE: I claim that you can't run IE for free (and still abide its license agreement) You need a copy of an MS OS. Never thought of placing my tabs under the address bar. Now, try to place your FF tabs on the left side of the window.
Also, what pôï said.

(joke) whatever .. braindead linux hippie-communists use firefox and real good and fine and mighty god-believing folks use internet exploder. and opera is god damn awful piece of crap. its some trout-fishing satan worshipping piece of crap (/joke) BROWSER WARS ARE SO 90'S
"Here's a quiz question: What material was Han Solo frozen in?"
nitro: And you dont need a copy of a MS OS in order to run the win32 version of Firefox? Amazing!
something i noticed:
i use to have plenty of firefox opened, with a tremendous of tabs opened in each. it crawls, it uses a lot of memory but somehow it works
i updated ie to ie7 and behaved the same way as i do with firefox: the result was when too much ie7 windows are opened with a lot of tabs in each, somehow it seems that the system cannot create windows handles any more !!! like you can no more open the explorer, or another application. close an ie7 instance, and somehow you just freed some system resources/handles and you can open explorer or another app again: so weird :(

lol, internet
KKIMMI^NE: Not really. I can come to think of two ways, namely Wine and ReactOS. You can do the same (At least under Wine) but not without violating MS's license terms. Sure I don't give a fuck about their license, but that's not the point. IE is not a free browser.
In those terms, Pouet isn't a free website either.
Gargaj: No?
Yesterday I (hypothetically) got a free library card, used the internet to register a free e-mail address and a free pouet.net account and made a post in the BBS.

So your library is paying your pouet access.
And in case you still dont get it: I'm using a laptop I got for free with XP preinstalled, but I could've gotten a free XP or even Vista from the university as well.
Ok, Gargaj, you win, there is no free lunch. Even walking on the street costs a .00000000000000000001% of the wage payed to the workers putting the stone/asphalt there.
