First Impressions...

With so much of coverage about the release of new versions of the rival browsers -IE and Firefox, I decided to upgrade both of them over the weekend. I had shifted to Firefox about a year or so back, mainly for the tabbed browsing convenience and though was mainly using the "plain vanilla" version without many extensions, was happy about it.

There are couple of cool things with Firefox 2.0 - the spell check and restore session feature. In case of accidental closure of the browser, the restore session remembers and opens all the tabs that were opened in the previous session. It also remembers recently closed tabs so that you can bring them up again, if you have accidentally closed only a tab.

IE7 has a new lean look with most unused icons hidden. It has introduced tabbed browsing and the quick tabs feature which gives you thumbnail views of all open tabs is cool, may be useful. If you have not been using Firefox, you are bound to be excited with the tabs in IE7.

Go on and upgrade your browsers...am sure that is the application we end up using 80% of the time:)
Happy browsing!

(In fact, Firefox helped me correct a lot of typos in this blog entry and I would have never had Firefox with F capitalized.)
