        Yeah, it's not bad. Watch out for page source issues.

              He's referring to pages that were created to render in IE, but don't follow the actual w3m spec, thus may not work in other browsers (Mozilla/Firebird, Opera, Safari, etc).

              I've been using Mozilla for years, and Firebird since it just came out... Opera for *nix always sucked.

                      Well, I had problem once or twice when copying the source.

                      It didn't paste it all properly. I didn't narrow it down. Not using it very much but using an external editor could make sense.

                                        that's how I have mine set up.


                                        You can hack that Useragent selector plug-in to give you the user agent of search engine bots so you can view peoples SE pages

                                          Nah nobody will be able to show PR without google going ballistic... that sort of sucks

                                          In THAT respect googles toolbar wins.

                                          But with this googlebar you can have one-click buttons to google web, images, news, groups, dictionary, page translation, backlinks... tons more... see my screenshot above for how I have it set up. Those are what I use most often.


                                          Damn. I just noticed I have that "I'm feeling lucky" icon up there... that shouldn't be there.

                                              I switched from Mozilla to Opera about a year ago and haven't looked back. Opera is the best browser out there.

                                              I tried Firebird recently but didn't really care for it as much.

                                              You know, I might try the latest version out now and see how it is.

                                                firebird is great. I can wake up and click one thing to open my morning favorites.

                                                    Nice... I remember now why I didn't use it and switched back to Opera... it has tabbed browsing, but when you click on a link with target="_blank", it opens an entirely new window instead of a new tab. That's annoying.

                                                    But now there's an extension you can download that fixes that... so I might start using Mozilla again.

                                                    Only issue now is that I checked my processes with both running... Opera is using 27 megs of memory, and Mozilla is using 54... twice as much. I'm using the full Mozilla, though. Is Firebird any lighter on resources?

                                                              Yep, I've been using Opera for awhile but liking Firebird more and more.

                                                                Mozilla/Firebird uses an open source development model, which has proven itself many times in the past.
