Firefox 2 Beta 1, IE7 Beta 3, Opera 9 Compared

[disciple]

"Right at this moment, big changes have or are about to occur in three well-known browsers: Internet Explorer is finally being updated, with version 7 in its third beta and almost ready to roll out the door; Firefox is also ripening an upgrade beta for its Version 2.0 - it's in beta 1; and finally Opera, which has a devoted but smaller following, has recently come out with Version 9.0. So, three new browsers in the same year, after no action for a half decade. How do they stack up?"

EDIT: Apparently there's a trunk version of Firefox 3 codenamed minefield available as well. Not too much info on it though.

lol@ skippy

nah, firefox 2 interface isn't much changed...  under the hood, however, they say is where it counts..( though still, is not many new features they bringin.. more like an incremental upgrade than a leap, they claim)

yeah, you're right...i installed it and I had to check the version to be sure it was really installed...Minefield is slightly different , not much different though. Basically the same UI with the "under the hood features" they say they added.
