“Now why should anybody want do download themselves a flahsblocker.
And actually IE follows more html, css, and javascript standards than FF ever will.”
Defiil could you please quantify that statement?

I believe IE7 fails the acid2 test HORRIBLY, while Firefox 2 is renders most of it correctly, and Opera, Safari, Konqueror render it completely.

Visit the mozilla add-ons and download the flashblocker! The best plugin ever, just take my word!

I really like the Konqueror tabs implementation, it has pretty much all the best features you mentioned above.

IE supports most of the CSS and Javascript functions.
It is becoming nightmare for developers to implement these basic functionalities for all the browsers. Can’t the community follow some standards as we developers follow.

As a developer I´ve had countless frustrations when developing for both FF and IE. It´s happened many times that something works in FF or Opera… but when I test it in IE it just doesn´t work.

IE´s implementation of web standards just sucks, nevertheless it´s better now than it was before !

and the best of the choices is: DON’T USE ANY OF THESE BROWSERS!!!
Spend your time outside doing something productive

In my openion, most of the web application are not running on IE 7.0 those are running IE 6.0 or less. Why this is so and what is the updated version?

In my opinion, IE7 tabs are a lame excuse to say they use tabs now. IE tabs are too big, and the tab bar is occupied by a lot of controls that limits the space available to tabs.
Opera, and (my favorite) FF+TabMixPlus are way, way better than IE7.

“Internet Explorer’s tabs have one advantage: the user can chose to open the tab by default next to the active tab!” This becomes an option in FF with the Tab Mix Plus p-i mentioned here by others. The p-i also provides options to control tab behavior when you close a tab — which one becomes active? You can set this to First, Last, Left, Right, Last Selected (my personal fave) or “Opener/Right” (haven’t tested yet to see what that one does.

You know, Opera actually invented tabs. You should’ve included Opera I think. It invented or introduced many of the functionality that is seen in these two browsers.

Assalamu-Alaikum,

My all-time favorite is Opera 9; previously it was Firefox, but a series of unfixed bugs and snobbish developers that believe “can’t reproduce” means “doesn’t exist” changed that for me.

I agree, Firefox’s biggest adavatage over IE7 is speed – however, I think one of the bigger advantages that IE7 has over FF is the in-built RSS reader. Where FF attempts to integrate with 3rd party services and readers to provide RSS functionality, IE7 is a complete RSS aggregator/reader. As a result, Firefox’s RSS reader is pretty basic, ugly, and missing a lot of features.

The best thing I see is that now “browser wars” are no longer solely about security and content/html/css rendering — especially good since that means that all browsers render to a decent-enough level and that security is generally well.

@end-note #5: you can add both IMDB, Technorati, and a lot more from the IE7 site @ http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/searchguide/en-en/default.mspx – a bigger list than Firefox’s.

@Luca Master: There is a workaround that forces all plugins to work on newer versions of Firefox/Bon Echo/Minefield. Two such methods are covered @ http://neosmart.net/blog/archives/120

NeoSmart Technologies also has a review of FF3, Opera 9, and IE7 published during the early stages of the alpha/beta builds of these builds – interesting to see how things have changed since.

Excellent review though, nice to see it all summed up so well.

(But I’m still not going to set Firefox as my default browser! I do have it installed though…)

Tab Mix Plus does a lot of things, including leak like crazy, I do believe. (I still love it, though.)

To change the tab close button back to a single instance on the right, simply go to about:config and set the Browser.tabs.closeButtons preference to 3 (2 will remove them outright and 0 will put it only on the active tab). No extensions needed.

Hi, it's called Tab Mix Plus, but the addon hasn't been updated for the firefox 2.0-version yet..
