Do they make extensions for IE7?

[Darksat]

No, Not really.
You get extensions for Firefox and Widgets for Opera.
Both are better than IE7 in my opinion.
If you want to try them out you can download opera here.
http://www.opera.com

[Zachery]

I don't intsall extensions period. Lol they are all kind of pointless to me, alll I care about is the security that FF has over IE7.

[Darksat]

Generally Opera is more secure than both.
Although V9.1 could be a bit more secure.
They stuck in Anti Phishing protection but opened a hole.
Will be fixed soon though.

But doesnt Opera cost money? I'd rather use free software.

[Darksat]

Wrong, Opera is free, Pre Version 7 had an advertsing banner you had to pay to remove, but version 8 and 9 are totally free.

Oh okay I thought something was wired.

[Defcon 5]

I love opera now, I don't know much about security but i did used to read through digg and the amount of crap they churned out about ff holes is stupid and i think opera isn't given enough credit for their much much better work at the browser.
the only thing running ff is their very extensive community.

[Darksat]

Plus better marketing.
Also Opera is a really cool browser with a really crap name.
Firefox is Buggy as Fcuk.
Almost as bad as Microsoft.
In fact ff2 Sucks almost as bad as IE7
(although I do like a few firefox extensions)

[Defcon 5]

Yeah I'm starting to be anti ff and ie :p I only use it for writing for my blog (spell checker) and designing websites.
I don't use any ff extensions anymore
