browser world war II => (firefox 2.0 > IE7)
New version of Firefox just came out… Looks good so far… no major changes. I’d bet it’s more of a retaliation to Microsoft’s IE7 than anything else, (which was just released with the beta of Vista). IE finally added tabbed browsing. Firefox went along and one-upped IE7’s tabbed browsing with a tab-index for all the tabs in a given window (meta-tabbing?). Also when you open new tabs in Firefox, the browser keeps track of the order in which they were opened. So when you close each tab, the browser goes to the next freshest tab (instead of following a basic pattern of right to left). Basically, the tabbing system is much improved. There’s also a nice little dynamic spell-checker that automatically checks everything you type into any text field on any web page. Sort of the WWII in terms of browser-wars, but this time they’re not screwing things up for the people writing the code with proprietary html element support; they’re just racing to add designer/user features to their browsers.
They both have loads of security updates, so you might as well update if you can spare 2 minutes.
get firefox 2.0 (and some nifty plugins to go along with it)
get IE7
