prostoalex writes "The Web browser market hasn't seen the competition heat up for a while, but things are getting quite exciting, PC World reports. The magazine looks into the latest features that are incorporated into Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Mozilla Foundation's Firefox and Opera Software's Opera. From the article: "We took Internet Explorer 7 Beta 1, Firefox 1.5 Release Candidate 1, and Opera 9 Preview 1 out for a spin. Both the Firefox beta and the Opera beta are available for download, although Opera isn't publicizing this early testing version; the browsers' final editions should be out around the time you read this. On the other hand, the IE 7 beta will not be available for downloading until early next year.""

Firefox and plugins by teslatug · 2005-11-29 02:28 · Score: 0, Flamebait

What is the deal with firefox and plugins?? Every time a new version comes out all the plugins break. Either make the plugin interface stable and stop blocking them, or bring the most important ones under the foundation and stop dicking around. Firefox has many annoyances that are fixed by extensions because developers won't fix them (saying there are extensions for that).
