edit: woah! that fucking rocks, actually. pity I use safari instead...

edit2: actually, it's a little annoying that you can't switch between scrolling the page and scrolling the image very easily.

Feel the added search features, and the ability to have a pimping browser.


Literally, I put the "Pimpzilla" theme on, because it is awesome.

# mum accidentally downloaded the new IE (the firefox ripoff)
ages ago, so when i was home at easter i got used to tabbed browsing, so had to replace my old IE with the dark side of browsing when i got back. don't see what all the fuss about tabs is

# IE
has inbuilt trackers so that bill gates knows everything you do. Everything is saved in a mysterious hidden file on your computer.

fact.

Firefox does not have such a built in big brother type device.

# they are sometimes handy
tho it's sometimes a fucking annoyance when a page that is in a tab goes into a huff for whatever reason and you can't move to any other tab and the whole thing just sits there and thinks about it

oh, how empowering it all is :(

bah

# Its not just the tabs
But tabbed browsing is much easier than having 17 seperate internet windows up at the same time.

Firefox is also much safer, especially if you use extensions such as NoScript and Adblock, it's much nicer to look at if you find a nice theme, and it isn't anooyingly irritatin like the gay Bad AIDS of Browsing (aKa IE)

But it's actually quite calming.
