They are both open source projects. That's the major similarity. The second similarity is that they aim to implement the specifications properly. (And they are both browsers) The difference is that Amaya is a test-bed for implementing specifications, whereas Mozilla aims to be a "commercial" product in the way that Netscape was. A more important differnce for a user is that Amaya aims to be an editor as well as a browser - so that while you are browsing and you decide you want to add a llink or something you can, whereas Mozilla seperates these two functions into two different pieces of software (slightly bundled together in the package you download). cheers Charles McCN On Tue, 12 Jun 2001 rgodwin@ccps.ga.net wrote: I just joined the list so I'm an admitted newbie. Would someone explain to me the major differences between the Mozilla and the Amaya browers? Aren't they both open source projects?
