I've heard that MS will even charge for some of them.

good enough for you?

EDIT
perhaps you'd like to read the IE7 blog... http://blogs.msdn.com/rssteam/archiv...14/503778.aspx

it talks a bit about collaboration and use of ideas between browsers... though it really is a one-way street in this case.
Yep, Firefox did ripoff Maxthon (MyIE2) for IE!

Tabs, Search bar in top right, RSS support... Should I continue?

Fact of the matter is everyone borrows ideas, but Firefox didn't "invent" any of the features you accreditted to them!
