Obviously the biggest changes come from Microsoft's new browser, Internet Explorer 7. IE7 has a new interface which is a big improvement compared to their previous browsers. Next to this new interface, security has improved a lot and new features such as tabbed browsing, embedded search and RSS feeds are being introduced.
Although this may look like a big list of improvements, it really isn't that astonishing. The new features take a large part of the resources cake. And, maybe the most important reason: Opera and Firefox are already using these features for a long time.
Firefox has recently released version 1.5. Although we really were satisfied with Firefox in all previous versions, this new version really is a disaster in our opinion. We have seen a lot of crashes and also loading times have increased quite a bit.
While firefox released a slower new version, Opera has done the opposite. Opera 9 is currently available as a public preview v
With the interest of Google in both opera and firefox the new browser war could become a very interesting one ...
