Browser face-off with Internet Explorer 7, FireFox 1.5, & Opera 9

 
 

PCWorld has done a browser face-off between Internet Explorer 7 Beta 1, Firefox 1.5 Release Candidate 1, and Opera 9 Preview 1.

In a nutshell, they have recognized the changes as:

Internet Explorer 7: Tabs, RSS, phishing support, integrated search, easy method to clear personal data, security

FireFox 1.5: Auto-update

Opera 9: No more ads in the free browser and support for widgets.

PCWorld is making the changes sound so minimal and boring. Internet Explorer, FireFox and Opera have done so much more... We've got a lot of cool stuff in these new browsers!

See the unofficial comprehensive FireFox 1.5 changes here.
See the Internet Explorer 7 technology overview here.
See the Opera 9 changes here.

Let the browser wars begin, this should be much more interesting than the war of the 90's. Can we get IE usage down to 60%? Whose side are you on? Before you pick sides you better take a look at Flock too.
