IE7 has copied some of the functions provided in Firefox: * Tabbed browsing * Spyware blockers * Anti-phishing IE7 is bloated, while Firefox is a skimpy little download. The extensions are small and -you can choose which to install-. There are loads of good reasons to do things this way. People only use IE because Microsoft bundles it with Windows. People only use Windows because Microsoft forces retailers to bundle it with new computers. As part of this force Microsoft forbids the retailers to even display adverts for alternative operating systems. IE7 is slavery.
