I would like to name my windows if I could displace tabs.

I think there should be user preferences to have a close tab button on every tab.

Built-in customizable RSS reader.
Free beer.

I just want IE and all web browsers to use free and open standards so that anyone with a computer and a web browser can access any site they want.

I said I would like to see more of it, in more browsers.

Besides, Firefox on Mac OS X isn't near as good as on Windows.

I had Opera and really liked it. Opera as I understand it is very similar to Firefox, but I haven't tried Firefox. Unfortunately, I'm on AOL right now. Why use another browser if aol's going to waste my bandwidth on their software that I don't even want on this computer (obviously not mine, or there would be no aol)?
