Mozilla beats Internet explorer

Mozilla beats Internet explorer

I think I'll start using Mozilla as my default web browser. The biggest single factor influencing my decision is the fact that Mozilla allows you to change the font sizes. Internet Explorer does not. On my laptop computer, the normal size fonts are small, while the small size fonts are almost unreadable.

There are other factors too. For example, Mozilla allows you to stop the animations. Some animations are too distracting, making it difficult to read the text on the page.

On a philosophical level, Mozilla is not so beholden to corporate (that is, Microsoft's) interests.
