I only use 4 extensions so mine is still small and clean. Actually one of those, I really do not use, so I could remove it.I HAVE to use IE7 sometimes because of certain websites (cough, cough...M$). Other than that it is FF all the way for me. Personally I like FF because it is a small and clean browser. I only use 4 extensions so mine is still small and clean.
