IE 9; Firefox 4 and Google Chrome

Firefox has been my preferred browser for some time.  I appreciated the built-in pop-up blocking and tabs, though IE also added these features starting with IE 7.  Firefox also has some useful add-ons such as Ad-block Plus and my Yahoo toolbas.  My laptop came with IE8 and Google Chrome pre-installed, so I tried out Google Chrome and I appreciate its simplicity.  Now it seems like both IE and Firefox wish to emulate the simplicity of Google Chrome.  Firefox 4 posed a problem with the Yahoo toolbar.  I avoided downloading Firefox 4 until a "Yahoo optimized" version became available.  My toolbar is now compatible.

  1. No toolbars with Chrome. I like the portability of my favorites with the Yahoo toolbar

  2. My newest I.E. has no tools bars which Yahoo is always trying to "correct" by telling me I have an "older" browser and "need" an upgrade. POPPYCOCK!!
