It's my opinion as well. You shouldn't have to add tools and tweak it to make it a great browser. Opera is far superior.

You shouldn't have to add tools and tweak it. I've never done anything like that on IE.
And also, what's the point in adding tools and tweaking it if it decides to reset everything and unistall everything you put into it for no reason? (that also goes for all the favourites I lost aswell, thankfully IE still had them).

I mean like Java, Macromedia flash, Shockwave and applying tweaks to make it run faster.

Shouldn't it run fast when you download it any way? I would have thought so.

Yes but you can use about :config to alter the pipelining settings.
It's fast anyway but you can alter it to make it even faster.

They are. Macromedia just bundle the players together in the Shockwave player.

You can set them to be applied automatically. No need to bother about them then.
