I use Opera, Avanti, Firefox, Slimbrowser IE6 & IE7 and prefer Opera of them all but that is a personal preference and is not the point in question here.
I was simply pointing out that fleckboys advice regarding IE7 was not sound advice as he claimed and contained several erroneous statements.
The merits of the various free browsers have been discussed previously at length and it boils down to personal choice.
IE7 is a step forward with its tabbed browsing,
Don`t knock it until you`ve tried it.
