Is IE trying to copy FireFox?

[brweb]

Hi everyone ,

Don't you think that IE is trying to copy Firefox features?

Look at IE7 features, the tabs feature, the RSS feature and the small google search box !!

All these features were in Firefox (but in netscape too.. ), then IE put them in IE7, doesn't that mean IE is copying Firefox ?!!


What you think?

of course they did copy it. Yahoo did that to with their toolbar

Yes, Microsoft copied it, and in my opinion, yes they should be allowed to. I prefer firefox, and try to avoid using IE, but microsoft should be allowed to add the feature to improve the experiance of the users and make it easier.

Definitely , in business , people provide unique things and if hat think gets popular , their rivals also try to provide that thing!

I think tabbed browsing is a good addition in IE7. Most browsers have it now. As to copying Firefox' ideas, I guess that's true. Firefox has lots of good features, and Microsoft is bound to do something in order to have those good features also available in their products.

Undoubtably.

Well, Firefox can only copy from IE becuse IE is the first and most popular Web Browser on earth! But anyway i prefer Firefox!

I think IE's trying to copy FF. I don't like IE anyway! I like FF better than IE!
