lets just say Firefox is IE7, well IE7 is firefox... tabbed browsing etc... but Firefox is good no spyware, but what about other Mozilla variants? They are just as cool.

Has anybody tried Opera? I think it blows firefox & IE to pieces. And yes, I have used them both. I used firefox for over a year, same story with IE. Opera is the best yet.

IMHO opera just doesn't fit in to the rest of the operating system. It stands out.

Any who really needs bittorrent etc. built in?

Firefox is fine for most people

If the OS is XP, maybe that's a good thing?

:heh:

Anyway, with my skin, it suits fine.

Firefox rocks you should get it lots of extensions,themes and it's secure!
Only thing you will need Is 512mb of RAM or more. By the way I am heavy firefox user.

O dam forgot to upload firefox avatar :-)

I have used Firefox on a 64mb RAM machine before, I think you may be mistaken. Well Firefox 1.54 anyway, maybe Firefox 2 might need more, but not that much.

The memory management problems in the Windows version have been fixed in v2. Memory usage is still relatively high, but it's not a problem at all on non-Windows machines. Firefox is still a lot faster than Internet Explorer when comparing page rendering times.

It has tabs, but neither Firefox nor IE has caused me great problems.

Well I think Firefox is great, I have been using it for about one year now with no trouble.
