"there is no RAD tools in Linux."
Are you kidding? LXRAD, PerlQt, and GNU Enterpriser Designer, just to name a few.

"There isn't really that much you can do with the browser right now. Having a tabs, themes, and few others really ins't evolution. they are just gold plating and illusion of having done something that's not signiicant."

I guess if you don't think that drastically increasing efficiency and managability is really an important trait in your software, then you could say tabbed browsing isn't a significant advancement.

Until, Next Windows OS, we all just have to wait. Even then, there really wouldn't be any "new" technology that will enhance browser greatly.
Now you are just being genuinely silly.

"by the way, Firefox doesn't not effectively block pop ups. Just go to drudgereport.com. you will get popups. "
I just went to drudge and got the usual banner I get when it blocks popups: "Firefox prevented this site from opening a popup window. Click here for options..."

What are you talking about?

Only with Internet Explorer, you can blocked all popups.
Haha, I'm glad they are finally beginning to catch up with opensource.

I use IE6 and I would get all kinds of pop-ups with that 'Pop-Up Stopper' download. Does Pop-Up Stopper work with Linux?

LXRAD, ect...?
No Body uses them. No body. not IBM, SAP, Microsoft, Corel.. ect... no body uses them. I don't know any corporation who uses LXRAD, PerlQt, ect... the fact that I never heard of those names proves that no body uses them.

Borland Kylix is the biggest and best implementation of RAD but no body uses it either. The "BORLAND" made a RAD tool and no body uses it.

Tab browser isn't a significant advancement. It's a simple programming technique. all you do is add Tab control and TabControl1.Add(param). Since Windows 3.11 days. Microsoft doesn't like MDI and that might be the reason why there is not TabControls.

there is no "new" in browser technologies. Name one? Firefox has not added anything new that hasn't been implemented by others.

firefox will block majority of pop ups but some pop ups will escape the popup block features in firefox. believe me, i wanted firefox to block them but it didn't. I was really disappointed. I use firefox but not as much anymore since it doesn't block all the popup features. i certainly don't go to drudgereport.com with it.
