More Mozilla reviews , RRP: Free

The good:

  • Adds built-in antiphishing protection, search engine suggestions, session restore, inline
  • spell-checking, and Live Titles
  • Available for Windows, Mac, and Linux
  • Localised versions available in many different languages

The bad:

  • Uninstall leaves behind a mess
  • Some 1.5 version add-ons will break in 2.0
  • There are no thumbnail previews of open tabs
  • The browser doesn't yet pass the Web Standards Project Acid2 test
