A few months ago, I did an "On the Desktop" article for Linux Magazine on
Getting to Know Konqueror, the default Linux web browser, file manager, and remote protocol client. Until I saw FireFox version 3, I had never really been very impressed with it.
I actually submitted a little poem about the Browser Wars for that article (It was pulled so you're seeing it for the first time here):
Mosaic opened the door.
Navigator showed us the way.
Explorer taught us to fear.
Opera sang its own song heretofore.
Lynx handles the text-based fray.
Konqueror's time is here.
I did a
review of the FireFox 3 web browser for LinuxPlanet called
FireFox 3: Losing My Religion. Today FireFox 3 finally is ready to enter the fray for real. On June 17, the production release of FireFox 3 will be publicly available for all to have.
I highly recommend it now.
New security features protect you and your computer better than ever before. It is now loaded with most Linux distributions and, in some cases, the defaut browser, usurping long-time resident of that spot, Konqueror.
Perhaps it's time to update the poem for FireFox's inclusion. Anyone care to share a clever additional line or two?
