Oh yeah? Well my Firefox can kick your IE's butt! LOL
It really is a nice browser with a fuller feature set (not just the tabs.. people go ga-ga over the tabs). The extentions are what make Firefox awesome. Well.. that and the fact that it ain't Microsoft. ;)
Yes, that is clearly a benefit! I am simply bothered that people who know better always report how much "safer" these browsers are. They are not inherently safer, they are safer only because they are simply not in wide enough use - yet.
