I have not gotten a pop up in over a year. All I use is the google toolbar popup blocker and it has only blocked 157 in about 5 months...

IE has a google toolbar with page ranks and IE 7 copied the tabbing function..

I have an outdated Norton Anti-virus software and Spybot-SD Resident and I my computer runs just fine.

(Off topic) I do, however, use Modzilla thunderbird, it's filter is much better than Outlook Express.

Google Toolbar + IE wastes screen space. I'll admit I do like the tab UI in IE 7, but it goes bad when you have too many tabs. If IE 7 final security is anything like anything previous, the "security" can be passed by any script kiddie with Google access.

what do u mean by less popups?? are u saying that FF is better because it has popup blocker. PLEASE don't be stupid, IE6 on xp sp2 has popup blocker and also opera and netscape browser have popup blocker.

If you configure it right it can be a very good browser. Straight "out of the box" though, it's just an alternative to me. You need to get a few extensions, mess around in the "about:config" page, and then you should notice less popups and faster webpage loading.

Tabbed browsing is one thing I adore.

Get AdBlock Plus, the updater that goes with it, FasterFox, the Download Bar, and Open in...
