Re:IE 7 vs. Firefox 1.5

[Anonymous Coward]

IE 7 has still pretty cool features, like adressbar spoofing, statusbar spoofing, domain spoofing, titlebar spoofing, SSL spoofing, keystroke sniffing, clipboard sniffing, Cross-Site-Scripting and, of course, remote code execution. No phishing filter will help you with that. In consequence, IE can only be safely used on a trusted intranet.

In contrary, Firefox can be used on the internet - which I consider as a standard feature that IE clearly lacks of.
