> Firefox 2 Takes On IE7
Bookmark topic
"The just-released beta of Firefox 2 may disappoint those who expected a major overhaul, but it adds a variety of useful features that make it a must-have upgrade for Firefox users, including anti-phishing filtering, better RSS handling, a built-in spell checker, and more advanced tab handling.
in contrast to the dramatic redesign Microsoft has given to Internet Explorer 7, this is more an incremental upgrade than a major one. The final versions of both browsers will be strikingly similar in features, although not in design. When the two releases are final, IE will have largely caught up to Firefox, although the large ecosystem of Firefox extensions still gives the open-source browser the edge in usefulness."
I personally love the Inline spell checking feature on it. As reviews: "Careless bloggers everywhere will be pleased to find that Firefox includes a built-in spell checker that automatically flags misspelled words as you type." This feature are great IMHO

Imo ff's improvements are small but significant,memory usage is much better now,so is the feel and speed of the thing.
There are still minor bugs though.

Firefox is much more customisable than IE7, especially with IE's strange button placement.
Not to mention the security and extra features with Firefox.

Yep, FireFox is the way to go. I hope they iron out some of the page formatting errors in the new version. IE7's new button placements are really hard to get used to. I avoid using it unless it's some webpage that doesn't show up right on my FireFox.
