Blech. Firefox belongs solely to Linux. I started taking a bit of dislike of it ever since the fanboys rolled in.

Firefox 2 would win hands down, though, if we discuss standards. What also is a lovely feature it's had for a while is the Find bar (which is also in the upcoming Safari in Leopard) and the extensibility. I still prefer Safari on Mac OS X on my machines rather than Firefox, since I find it to run slower for how it is. Often, I use Camino instead.

I'd much prefer the native internet browser of the operating system because of its system integration, and hence why I like Internet Explorer 7+ on Vista, especially considering the inclusion of Protected Mode. Also, the zoom function in Internet Explorer really helps when my vision decides to play tricks on me (only after I've watched TV for too long) so I like the zoom function it gives me. It lacks a Download Manager, though, among other things. I'm persuaded to switch, though, by Firefox 2.0's pretty new interface.

Finally, individual close buttons on each tab. This is something Internet Explorer had first, but other browsers had it long before either of them. The session restore is most welcome, too.

Spell checking is just plain useless to me, though. IE doesn't have it anyway.

Live search suggestions? I'm a bit of a privacy advocate with such a feature.

Web feeds are still a little clumsy. I prefer Safari's RSS feed display still.

Hah, Phishing Filters. Like IE7's methods better.

Still, Firefox is good, and it's great how it doesn't even support ActiveX (which some websites continuously bug IE about). Standards are integral for how I design pages on the web, so lots of points for that. IE7 doesn't cut it, and I may end up using Firefox 2.0 as my preferred browser again (but I won't dump IE7 either - I'd gladly kill 6 though).

Perhaps Internet Explorer 7, which has more than taken up the slack from the previous version as Jake has shown us. On my computer, however, Firefox runs better. :/

I totally don't like Firefox on Mac OS X , it still looks Un-Mac like... and it's totally slower than Safari, Shiira, and Camino and also have alot of totally annoying Fanboys and Fangirls. ;

and it still haven't pass Acid2 yet... while most of the browers except IE7 and Mozilla have passed it. I also perfer Inquisitor plugin for Safari since it totally have a spotlight like function and SafariStand plugin because it totally have thumbtails for tabs... =p

I will still use Opera 9 on Windows because it's totally fast and uses less memory than Firefox and 9.1 will have Phishing Filter and most the features are like already built in without using extensions. =p

I find it funny that when I first got FF there was no bigger FireFox supporter then Alyssa. XD

I just DLed IE7. It looks good, and the tabs are a plus for IE. But I think they're a step behind FireFox, and I love FF and I'm used to it so I like FF2 better.

My dad downloaded FF2 and didn't like it in Linux. Although he mostly uses Opera.
I'm considering giving it a go. I definitely WON'T touch IE7 though.

Firefox, that's definitely my choice. I am with it from version 0.9 and I won't go on IE7. I won't touch IE7, because I know IE from version 5.5 (my first meeting with internet ) and I wasn't very happy when trojans and viruses flew into my computer. Even my mum likes FF more.

P.S.: Who likes the old 1.5 FF theme more than 2.0, try to search at addons.mozilla.org for a theme called Winestripe (not Winstripe).

I have both on my work computer, IE7 is cute and better in rare situations such as with Java, but overall Firefox 2 blows it outta the water without giving it a chance to respond.

In all honesty, the theme refresh sucks. The unified appearance is okay, but the toolbar's buttons are just bland and dull. It certainly looked more colourful and discreet before the refresh.

kmgerich.com has the Winstripe and Pinstripe themes available for Firefox 2.0.

I totally used firefox only about 1 year, since 2004. I totally switched to Opera 8.5 when it became free because it uses less memory, faster, and it already have all the features that Firefox 1.07 had at the time. I never came back to Firefox because 1.5 is notorious for it's high memory usage for it's history feature.

Opera 9 is better, since it like totally more standards complient, and pass acid2. Once I switched to a Mac, I used Safari, because it's totally faster, but I still use Opera once in a while. Firefox have horrible Mac OS X support and still does =(.

Also, I like totally switched from Firefox because theres like totally so much annoying fanboys/fangirls. o.O

Firefox still owns me, although I have Opera 9 and Internet Explorer 7 also.

Eh, IE7 was nice, but when I found out it was basically written on IE6 code...tears welled up. From the technical side, it's supposed to be almost as vulnerable as its predecessor. Disappointing. The fact that it's not skinable, and that they allow developers to put prices on extensions makes it pretty much suck even worse. OPEN SOURCE FTW!

Opera loads slower than Firefox on my laptop, not to mention I love using the middle click button to open links in new tabs, and Opera takes an extra 3 seconds to initiate the load on the new tabs that pop up. Annoying.

With the new skin, Firefox definitely takes the cake. Not to mention I love the spell checking for blogging <3

IE7 was a needed update, but Firefox still owns IE hands down. Personally, I couldn't browse without FF's extensions(greasemonkey anyone?), but lots of work was also put into IE, and I think the new version is finally honorable as a browser for average users.

If more work gets put into IE, I might even see myself using it when I make the full transition to Vista.

Might I have to say that "Protected Mode" is the secure thing you might be interested in for Vista when IE to you means security? Also, what's so good about skins? I mean, yes, customisation, but why exactly? Of course, using extensions is a good thing too. Pricing on add-ons is THAT urgent?

Ha, that new skin looks absolutely horrible when you aren't using Windows or Linux. Meh.

This thread is discussing Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 2. The problem with the post I quoted is how it makes IE7 sound like it doesn't or never did have it. If you're trying to teach me something, I've known since I've been using Phoenix.

Pricing on addons means there's no open-source dev teams that work competitively. People can just mull out half arsed "addons" to try and get some extra cash.

Hah, meh well. Add-ons are superficial to me because I only use the browser for what it is. Some people don't really care about extensibility.
