RE: Will the "browser wars" have some sort of end?
Firefox got really disappointing recently, but I'm not sure where users will head if they decide to change. I ended up on Chrome (has the addons I liked on FF, it's quicker and has no memory issues).

Opera is still an excellent browser.. IE 9 is pretty good too..

I do wonder whether, with IE having improved as much as it has, the migration from Windows 7 to 8 will have much of an effect. If IE 10 is at all better than 9 then it'll give good reason not to download a 3rd party browser again (unless you really like addons).

I'm sure you can customise both, but then, it seems most comparisons these days are on defaults >_>

well ABP by itself is enough reason to switch imo... and I'm not sure if they've changed but from what i remember IE has no downloads window which is kinda annoying if you  can't find what you've recently downloaded.
