Although that was mostly driven by my issues with IE7, I’ve been happy with my switch, and especially with the wide number of extensions available for it.

It took them long enough to add that feature. I use IE a lot more now that it has tabbed browsing. It took them long enough to add that feature.

On the flip side, FF seems to have some issues w/ my home PC. If I had to guess I would say it's possibly a result of me being dual screen at home, but I'm not sure. It seems to have some issues determining where the right edge of the window should be, etc. On eBay the stuff along the right edge is clipped some. And my ISP uses squirrelmail for webmail access, and the buttons that are along the right edge of the window just weren't there at all last nite.

I'd like to maintain my existing extensions, though. Can anyone offer some suggestions and links?

Its GUI is far too unconfigurable and poorly thought out. In fact, even though IE6 doesn't do tabbed browsing, I prefer its UI immensely over IE7. Perhaps the best plan is to wait and see if MS listens to all the complaints about IE7 (and there are many) and actually does something about them. I tried IE7 then removed it.

Some time ago found a method of keeping both 6 and 7 available; for a pre-release version, but I may try it. Maxthon... I haven't needed it, but the newest version I just downloaded allows up to 100 tabs and multiple lines of tabs. Check Options. Haven’t done anything with IE7 yet.

Just walk away from the PC after it starts and go have dinner. There is nothing very exciting about IE 7. I find some of the changes annoying. Their command bar containing the Home button is now far to the right. Favorites is on the tabs bar off to the left. I'm still looking for a way to get it to look and work the way I want it to. I guess I'm spoiled by the customization ability of Firefox. John Tidball, I found the IE 7 download to be very slow. Just walk away from the PC after it starts and go have dinner.

My computer is an HP dv8000 with an AMD Turion 64 cpu and running XP Windows Media Edition with full updates. I have visited hundreds of web sites and almost all (at least 99%) have seemed to render correctly. Both of these browsers get a complete thumbs up from me.
