Opera 9, FireFox 2 and IE7 enter the boxing ring
Just like yesterday's review, they were dissapointed with FireFox's built in anti-phishing tool. Being that it just recently entered public beta, likely improvements will be made. I was surprised to learn that IE7 will not have the ability to pause downloads. The review is quite thorough and even provides screenshots of configurations. If you're a total browser nut and really do want to try all three, this is a must read.

Have all 3 installed myself at the moment. Pity Opera 9 doesn't seem to be getting the attention it deserves, maybe if they had gone to a free model earlier things might be a bit different (No, not adware). I wouldn't agree with their stance on phishing. Built-in phishing detection is a needed feature. Sure, "education" is the long-term solution, but you could say the exact same thing about Browser security vulnerabilities - "don't visit untrusted / unrecognised websites", is that realistic/acceptable? Not really. When it comes to security you shouldn't be relying on the End-User to figure it out.Be interesting to see how the respective Phishing filters take off, especially with Microsoft being given the thumbs up these past 2 articles. Seems like it could become a big selling point for either Browser. Wonder who'll be more responsive in updating their detections. Fun 6 months ahead.

Mozilla suite is always forgetten, and much superior to firefox and IE.
