Browser war heats up as new Firefox takes on IE 7

Add another person to the list of those who are dismayed at the amount of energy spent on disliking consumer goods and extending that animosity to the people who use them. Some things are better (Italian shoes vs. made in China) but computers...??
I've barely used IE in 20 years except for web design checks and my favorite browser of all time was Netscape 4.7...something went amiss after that. Long ago there used to be a last updated date tacked onto the end of each hit, I don't think the text was black. For a researcher this was a great thing, after 4.7 it was gone. The bookmarks and how they worked were also fabulous, in entering links into a sql table via an online admin I could have the bookmarks remain open while the admin window was open and drag the urls between the open admin window, an open bookmarks window and the open (resized) web page whose url I was entering. I like Firefox now, haven't tried IE7 yet. I'll wait.
