Inferior to what? ;)  I'm not interested in a "this browser is better
than..." argument. Firefox is the major "free" browser on the market, for
the widest array of operating systems (Windows, Apple, *nixes). My
suggestion is based on that. If another non-commercial project had
theoretical cash to burn, and their goals weren't incompatible with
Wikipedia's, I'd make the same basic suggestion.
