Internet Explorer 7 is out.

Of course, it appears to be largely "we copied everything about Firefox except none of the really good Extensions will work", meaning it's brand new and *still* almost two years out of date, but it's a start. At least it's got tabbed browsing.

I love Firefox. Especially with Downloader Statusbar, without the bookmarks toolbar but with the fabulous AdBlocker+. I haven't used IE in years. Not since before I trashed '98 for RH9

yah, tabbed browsing, stolen from Netscape 4.0

I don't recall ever using 4.0 specifically, but 4.7 didn't have tabbed browsing.

I think you meant Opera there, right?

Besides, virtually all of Firefox is from Netscape, that's part of the point, right?

Strictly speaking, Firefox is Mozilla's baby.

Which, in turn, descends from Netscape, so grandbaby. I never really used IE, it was Netscape, then Mozilla after NS folded, then Fx after I stopped needing a mail client, so it was a natural progression.

Otherwise, I'd probably be an Opera user, as it's still palpably very very good.

Funny thing about IE is right now, i ONLY use it for internal web apps that are IE dependant... and none of them are certified for IE7 anyways .p
