What's a bit tragic is that IE 7 still doesn't support display: table, :before, :after, etc. :-p"FF extensions > any other browseradblock makes Internet browsing a truly new experience"Agreed about that, although to be fair, Opera nowadays have an integrated interactive wildcard-supporting adblocker too, so that particular extension is a bit flawed example when talking "any other browser".
@qsmithTo disable ClearType anti-aliasing in IE7, go to Internet Options -> Advanced -> Multimedia -> Always use Cleartype for HTML... I personally have ClearType enabled system-wide.
I always have to laugh about Firefox and their "programmers"...LOL....can't even program something descent without memory leaks...oh well, 15% market share says it all, right...

Dude, I agree Opera rocks, however, your issues are related to google. It should be up to them to fix it.

Ad Block is really what makes Firefox specical. I did find something that seems similar to Adblock for IE but its not free and probably doesn't work as well. <a class="user" href="http://www.ieaddons.com/AddOn.aspx?cid=1&scid=59&aid=0336e34e-4671-41c3-8a2c-0f14a2542d17">http://www.ieaddons.com/AddOn.aspx?cid=1&scid=59&aid=0336e34e-4671-41c3-8a2c-0f14a2542d17</a>
