Wow you guys are just looking to blame microsoft for something. Firefox didnt invent Browser tabbing, or the word tab. So everyone needs to stop thinking that, IE just wants to improve there browser for the user. I dont see whats wrong with them trying to make a better browser and using features that are incorporated into nearly all its alternetives, Why dont you blame other browsers why your at it, since Firefox isnt the only tabbed one anyways. People just like to make microsoft look bad when they accually do a mazing amount of good for the world.
IE is much better, im gonna use ie instead of ff now because ff takes to long to download images. I only liked the tab feature on ff but now ie has it .
There is an easy way to drastically increase the speed at which firefox downloads images: Also, I prefer firefox because of the unlimited amount of customization through extentions. The ability to write your own mouse gestures, open new tabs that act and view pages through IE without leaving the browser, being able to enter a search in the address bar... the list goes on and on. Firefox for life! ^_^
opera is more efficient and stream lined, standalone it is on the whole better. I use Fx more though as it has a javascript blocker addon, and a few nice addons in addition and I am not stripped for ram at all.
