Firefox 2

Right after the release of IE7 is Firefox 2.

For the most part all the updates are things that you can already do with extensions in Firefox 1.5.  All the changes and upgrades to CSS handling and DOM support are slated for the 3.0 release, which they have already been working on for a little while now.

The new look is nice, a slight glassiness to the buttons and tabs give it that "Web 2.0" look. But the new in-line spell checker is pretty slick.

IE7 has some amazing new features and looks like a great step in the right direction for Microsoft but I'm sticking with my tried and true Firefox if for no other reason then for the ability to add and create your own extensions so easily.

If your interested (which you should be) go download Firefox 2, if you haven't already!
