    I see they still have tabbed web browsing, which has been in Internet Explorer since version 7.0.

      "I see they still have tabbed web browsing, which has been in Internet Explorer since version 7.0."

      But they didn't steal the innovations Internet Explorer is most well-known for, like the heuristic logic to crash in an apparently random manner at the most annoying moments.

      I really miss features like that when using Firefox!

    They should just print out the binary diffs to the previous version and mail them to you so you can make the changes in a hex editor. Do you really trust their installer application to make the changes to your computer?

    I bet every computer you've ever owned has been turned into a spam zombie because you didn't think updating your OS was worth it.

    Those of us who code our own browsers find that pitiful.
