So try Opera - it comes with a ton of features out of the box, and is pretty fast.
Oh, and FFx owns IE's face in terms of speed: http://www.pannonrex.com/blog/?p=25#more-25

its faster the FF, especially the javascript engine, and it has WAY more out of the box features than IE7 (integrated email, bittorrent and irc, mouse gestures, and voice control if you take the time to push one key on your keyboard and run through setup), while still allowing some of the customization of firefox.

Hey, look at that. FFx uses less RAM than IE. It also owns IE's face in speed: http://news.softpedia.com/newsImage/IE7-vs-Firefox-2-0-vs-Opera-9-20-3.png
Opera is the clear winner in both of those categories, but the lack of extensions and idiotic tab behavior that I can't change piss the hell out of me, so I'm sticking with Firefox.
The clear looser by miles is IE7 in every. single. category. So, anyone who likes and uses IE7 willingly is also clearly a looser.
Firefox beats Opera in some areas (cold start and tab issues kll mentioned) but Ie fails in all of them.

what exactly do you dislike about Opera tabs?
also: Opera is better at a cold start on low resource machines like mine due to its superior RAM management :p

The last time I used Opera (9.0 I *think*) it always switched back to the last viewed page when a tab was closed, whereas firefox just goes to the next in the list. Opera had no option to change it - I looked everywhere and couldn't find it, so I dumped it.
