Comments on: IE7: It’s beginning to look a lot like Firefox http://www.hyperborea.org/journal/2005/05/ie7-looks-like-firefox/ Sci-fi, comics, humor, photos...it's all fair game.

Is IE7 still gonna be system dependant? Is the WebBrowser Object still gonna be global for all HTML and Web enabled applications? M$ people just don't get it. Open Source and FreeSoftware is the only real approach to secure software. Fast Response patching and bugfixing it's only possible with real-time global user's feedback.

Even so, tabs are one of the features on which Firefox has been promoted. (Actually, <a href="http://www.alternativebrowseralliance.com/browsers.html" rel="nofollow">every modern browser except IE</a> has tabs of some sort.) Therefore, if IE is going to win back the marketshare it's lost to Firefox, it's gonna have to add tabs. I assume you mean Netcaptor and not Netscape.
