Default FireFox 3 haters

I received one of those 'spams' today, and clicked the link, then clicked the "why" link, here is the answer. I would think it would be the same for those of you on that OS from Redmond version as well.

Firefox 3 or later contains built-in Phishing and Malware Protection to help keep you safe online. These features will warn you when a page you visit has been reported as a Web Forgery of a legitimate site (sometimes called “phishing” pages) or as an Attack Site designed to harm your computer (otherwise known as malware).

IE happens to have phishing protection (link)

So does Google Chrome (link)

So does Opera (link)

As did FF2 until they arbitrarily decided to remove it...

Yes, however, how many threads are here complaining about those vs FF3?

That was my point, for those that might not yet know, or who do not get the ability to click the "why" link, as in my experience here, it has yet to be shown. Hopefully now, all of the "I hate FF3" threads can move along.

My hate FF3 thread was about the "forced upgrade" due to the removal of phishing protection from FF2...and other issues which aren't in the scope of this thread.

I wasn't aware there were many "I hate >insert OS name here<" threads at all. Only one remotely like that is what dplax mentioned.
