Well the main feature I use is that it's not IE.

I don't have to worry about it, spyware, vulnerabilities, I can open email in the mail client confident that some virus wont auto execute. So security for me is my main one.

However feature wise I really like the find as you type feature, which makes navigating easier with the keyboard. It's soo much better than pressing tab over and over until you get the right link.

The google search is also a great feature.

without clicking in any typing box, just start typing something.

An example would be if you typed "macodin" than mozilla would highlight my name you could then just open my profile right there.

You could type a news story like say

"apple reveals" and it would highlight the apple reveals g5 imac story and then you could open that link.

All without the mouse.

it's very handy.

Tabbed browsing (specialy that fact that a link opens in a new tab if u click on it with the middle mouse button)

view page-source (color coded and formated as opposed to IE that shows page source in a plain notepad)

Also not always useful but when u can find links on a web page by starting typing, the browser starts highlighting the most probable link which u can then open by pressing enter

      Really? Despite the memory price rises, nothing can kill it? I thought something would.

    • Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote

      Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe After years of waiting, Rockstar will be solidifying the launch date of Grand Theft Auto VI with the launch of pre-orders next week. While the studio has confirmed a date for this occasion, it is yet to attach a price to the highly anticipated game. So let's see what our readers think it will cost at launch. The Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will kick off on June 25 for digital and physical editions. Unless some last-minute changes happen, the release date will be November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, there's still no information about a PC version from the developer or the publisher Take-Two. Now the question becomes, how much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost at launch? The game is predicted by some analysts to be the biggest launch of an entertainment product ever. With the amount of hype that has been built behind it and with ballooning development costs, Take-Two may price this Grand Theft Auto entry differently from other AAA titles. The current price of a AAA game is $69.99. That norm almost rose to $79.99 before calming down. But with such a massive release, Grand Theft Auto VI may be the game that pushes the boundary again. It's also possible that Take-Two keeps the price relatively low to increase the number of players that jump in early and keep them hooked on Grand Theft Auto Online to spend on microtransactions for years to come. Keep in mind that the below poll is asking for a prediction of the standard edition price, not a deluxe or any other special edition that Take-Two will introduce for additional benefits. Also, there is the chance of the company splitting up the campaign and online portions. If you think that will happen, put your vote on what you think will be the total cost of the two. Poll Poll: How much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost? $59.99 $69.99 $79.99 $89.99 $100 or more Submit Vote If you have a very specific prediction in mind, sound off in the comments below.
