What I like about Mozilla

Apart from the fact they have a great browser that has re-ignited (for the good) the browser wars, their CEO seems to be a very smart guy – shouldn’t be a surprise I know but I really enjoyed his interview with in Wired. He gives some great, straight up answers to common questions that are thrown at Microsoft too. We could learn a lot from this rather than longwinded spun answers at times…

 

Lilly: It's an aesthetic. Apple is great if you like the way it comes. Firefox is great if you like to customize things. The focus is on how it lets you do what you want, not how it looks

Wired: Does the browser still matter now that users access the Net with different, non-browser- dependent devices, like Amazon.com's Kindle?

Lilly: That's a bogus argument. People have been saying for 10 or 15 years that the PC is dead. Even with a good mobile device, I'll sit at my laptop when I'm near it because it's a better experience.
