Ars Technica Interviews Scott Collins 320
SnoopTodd writes "Ars Technica has an interview with Scott Collins of Mozilla. 'That's the thing I learned to lust after as a programmer. It's not my ability to solve one problem, to plow this field, but the ability to build a plow that every farmer uses. The ability to make something that touches not ten people, not a hundred people, not a thousand people but a hundred million people. I want Mozilla to be there again. IE is a browser with no soul. I want it to be Mozilla because I think that people who care deserve a browser with a soul.'"

Of course, there are further options, such as Netscape 7.1 (Mozilla), Opera, etc.
Personally, I love Safari, other than the problem with a handful of sites, such as Citibank's online banking, that only work with Camino.

Have you tried faking the user agent string to make Safari identify itself as Internet Explorer? You can do it by enabling the 'Debug' menu [macosxhints.com].
My father uses the European Citibank's online banking with Konqueror itself - it needed the user agent thing doing, and (I think) popup windows enabling, but I don't think he's had any problems with it since.

No, the likely candidate is Mike Homer. He was VERY influential in the old Netscape organization, and from everything I've heard he was a major asshole.

Nope. Next guess?
Ok, I composed plain text but posted as HTML by accident, and this is a repost. Here's a hint to make up for that goof: the VP that I believe scc meant was not around for Netscape's IPO, but was acquired later. Hint 2: the acquisition had nothing to do with anything in Netscape 4.
