I am very pleased with Mozilla 1.5 as my primary browser and
e-mail client under Windows.
It does have the talkback agent, and once or twice when I've managed
to crash the thing, it has gone into a talkback session.
I cooperate with this for the sake of improving the product,
and "have nothing to hide" in my browsing activities.
As far as I can tell, if I'd said no, it would not have phoned home.
I also use Opera, but don't like it nearly as much. When developing
web apps, I do depend on Opera's super-convenient hookup to the
W3C XHTML validator. (I understand Mozilla has something comparable
but I never bothered to find it.) Opera is *very* consistent in look
and feel between Win98 and Linux, more so than Mozilla. IE is handy
if I feel masochistic, and I do need to compatibility-check my
pages now and then, but Mozilla is simply excellent for my purposes.
