Thumbs up to your brother firefox changed my life
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.

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I have an outdated Norton Anti-virus software and Spybot-SD Resident and I my computer runs just fine.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

All you gotta do to block popups is go to Tools -> Options -> Content -> check the box "block popup windows", and set any sites like this one for exceptions. Piece o' cake.

I like AdBlock extension for Firefox because it blocks annoying ads. This site has those Google ads thrown in everywhere, and alot of other forums I go to have lots of sponsor ads. Don't see any of them. If there are a few that get through, or just images I don't want to see, Right-Click > AdBlock and they are gone!

IE7 beta 2 features
New Interface
Say goodbye to bulky toolbars. Internet Explorer 7 has a new interface that shows more of each webpage you visit. The streamlined toolbar makes it easier to add websites to your Favorites, search the web, clear your history, and access the other tasks and tools you use most.
Optimized Design
The new design, including consolidated menu items, smaller icons, and an overall decrease in toolbar height, optimizes the space on your screen so you see more of the websites you're visiting.
Favorites Center
The new Favorites Center makes it even easier to manage your favorite websites, your browsing history, and your RSS feeds with just a few clicks.
Tabbed Browsing
Whether you're searching the web, comparing prices, or just staying on top of your favorite topic, Internet Explorer 7 lets you view many different websites at one time — all within one organized window.
How to Use Tabbed Browsing
Launch Internet Explorer 7 and your home page opens in the first tab. To view other sites at the same time, just click the new tab button in the toolbar and then type the address of the site you want to visit in the address bar. Your home page stays open in the first tab.
Close Tabs
Closing tabs is as easy as opening them. Just click the close button that appears on the right side of the selected tab.
Quick Tabs
When you have several tabs open, use Quick Tabs to find the site you want to view or to close sites you're no longer interested in viewing.
Search
Internet Explorer 7 brings your favorite web search providers to you. With the built-in search box, you can search the web at any time without having to open a search provider page. You can display search results in a separate tab, and then open the results in other tabs to quickly compare sites and find the information you want. You can even customize your search by setting your favorite search provider as the default.
The Power of Multiple Search Providers
You can choose which search provider you want to use as your default and then compare its results with those of other search providers by choosing another search provider from the list. You can also add search providers by selecting "Get Search Provider" from the dropdown list.
RSS Feeds
Don't waste time checking many different sites and blogs for updates. Just select the sites or topics you care about and Internet Explorer 7 delivers all the new headlines and updates to your Favorites Center.
Security
Internet Explorer 7 helps keep your information safe by alerting you to potential phishing sites — sites that look legitimate but actually are designed to capture your personal information. It's also easier to see which sites provide secure data exchange, so you can shop and bank online with confidence.
Security
At a glance you'll see whether the site you're visiting has a valid secure sockets layer ( SSL) certificate or if there are irregularities in the certificate information. Phishing Filter™ warns you of suspicious sites that might attempt to collect your personal information.
Peace of Mind
And while you browse the web, Internet Explorer 7 automatically monitors your computer to protect you from unwanted and malicious programs that can be installed on your system as a result of surfing the web.
