News: IE7 Released, Firefox 2 to follow
Microsoft has released Internet Explorer 7, which includes tabbed browsing, new security features, and a new look amongst other things. Check the new Internet Explorer 7 here.
Mozilla Firefox isn't sitting by idle while IE7 is released. Firefox 2.0 will be released October 24th, according to Christopher Beard - Mozilla's vice president of products.
Both browsers seem solid from what I've seen and read. One 'issue' that has been discussed regarding firefox 1.x and the beta's of 2.0 has been the memory usage. Firefox caches previous pages viewed in RAM and causes a large amount of memory usage if the browser is left open for an extended period of time. How will IE7 handle memory usage though? The guys at Lifehacker have done some testing on both of the browsers and written up an interesting article here.
(I personally will most likely continue to use Firefox. However, competition seems to breeds great software, so I encourage everyone to try them both.)
