Browser Comparison - Firefox 2 b1, IE7 b3, Opera 9

mikemuch writes "The browser wars have heated up again, with Microsoft putting Beta 3 of Internet Explorer 7 out for all to download (not just developers anymore), Firefox coming out with the first beta of its version 2, and Opera releasing version 9. ExtremeTech has a shoot-out of the three browsers, with feature comparisons and tests of resource usage, startup time, and Acid2 standards compliance. Standout features are Opera's built-in BitTorrent support, Firefox's spellchecker for forms, and IE's Quick Tabs view. Firefox is still ahead in extensions, while Opera has some slick UI conveniences."

  1. LIES ABOUT FIREFOX by kasgoku · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The study i would say is a failure and totally biased against firefox. It should be all "yes"s for firefox.

    1) In firefox you cannot make "favorites buttons" but you can make "bookmark buttons" its the SAME THING!! i do it all the time...

    2) Also, if you get the extension, you can make the browser remember all the tabs that were open on the last session. I HAVE DONE IT!!

    3) There is an extension for searching torrent sites for firefox. i am sure after this study, an extension for bittorrent client is on the way...

    In short, Firefox Rocks!!

    sorry if i offended someone with the caps.
