They are all just browsers. You look at stuff on the internet with them.

The internet experience comes from the websites you visit, not the browser. All this hype from "alternative" browser boosters, you'd think you were comparing sports cars or something, but in the end they all do the same thing.

Personally, I'm a minimalist, so IE6 works great for me. I tried the whole tab thing, didn't like it. I already have tabs, they are on the task bar. I'm a laptop user, so having to accurately point to a little tab with my mouse literally adds 1/10ths of a second to my efficiency. I know it may sound silly, but I like to push the cursor all the way to the bottom of the screen without having to worry about where to stop.

If it sounds strange, keep in mind I am the kind of person who is usually ahead of the programs I use. For example, if a program is a little slow performing a function, I will have my mouse already waiting on the spot where I know I will need to click, even before the program has loaded the button. So having to click on tabs accurately really annoys me.

I have already downloaded IE7 beta 3. It is ok. They need to work on toolbars more, as they are, they aren't very user configurable. The tabs look a little cartoonish for my taste, although I just turn them off anyway, as already explained.
