      Yes, hence the 5299th version. How many exploits can they go through before it's even released? :)

    "Tabbed browsing" and "ability to delete browsing history"? This story must be a duped, because this browser was leaked to the public years ago. At the time, I think they called it "Firefox."

      Yes, but this latest version finally adds the many security holes and rendering bugs that users have come to expect from their browsing experience.

  5. Linked article title appropriate by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    The linked article is titled "Internet Explorer 7 leaks onto Internet".

    Yeah, I can't think of a more apt analogy than Microsoft taking a big leak all over the internet. They've been pissing on us for years.

    Wow! People were right, they really changed the branding of IE6, and man is it full of bugs! Look at how much RAM it uses!

    Maybe you should check out IE8.5, you can get it here.

    It's merely that Firefox is so fantabulous that the computer just can't let it go. Get with the fanboy program, dude, you're slacking, and not in a good Slackware kind of way!
