News: Review: Mozilla loaded up for browser wars
Best of all, Mozilla is completely free: no fees and no strings attached. Sure, we found some flies in the ointment, but we're hoping that the gold code cleans them up. Stay tuned for our final word.

No strings attached
In our informal beta tests, Mozilla 1.0 displays Web pages almost as quickly as IE 6, and it seems faster than Netscape 6.2.2. The Quick Launch feature (Edit > Preferences > Advanced, then select the Enable Quick Launch check box) preloads parts of Mozilla during Windows start-up so that the browser loads faster. How very Windows XP.

Surprisingly, such speedy performance doesn't cost a cent. Sure, other browsers say they're free, but most have hidden costs. Mozilla, on the other hand, doesn't come bundled in your OS like IE, doesn't plant AOL icons onto your desktop like Netscape 6.2, and doesn't bombard you with banner ads like Opera's "free" version.

Sibling rivalry
Nonetheless, a few worrisome bugs plague RC 1. For one, Mozilla doesn't play nicely with Netscape. When we installed Netscape 6.2.2 and Mozilla on our Windows XP test machine, the sidebars, panes that display bookmarks and similar items, disappeared in both browsers.

Mac users can't even run the two browsers simultaneously; if one browser is running, the other won't launch. At present, we cannot reach Mozilla reps for comment, but we hope the company fixes these glitches before final code.
