:and why you are a fool if you still use Internet Explorer

What will follow I hope will be an enlightenment in web browsing for all that read this thread
it all starts by going here and downloading Firefox.

My man ToD will help with the addons and plugins
in future comments

IE7

http://apcmag.com/7282/can_ies_architect_explain_why_its_so_bloated

Q: "Despite relying on Windows to provide many capabilities, a standard download for IE7 weighs in at 15MB, compared to Firefox's comparatively slimline 6MB. What's that about?"

Answer: SPYWARE

Q: "OK, I'll try another tack. Given that the most obvious change in IE7 was the introduction of tabs, a feature rather obviously filched from Firefox, what feature from a rival browser would Wilson most like to adopt next?"

Answer: just make a Firefox plugin that replaces the Firefox with the internet explorer icon.

but seriously whats that other 9 MBs about?
