                    Yes, Firefox is better than Opera.

                    Btw, once Firefox is the most used browser, people will start coding spyware for it. This is the internet.

                                    The tech guy from Slate.com was saying that there are not that many viruses that go after Firefox. BTW, slate.com is owned by microsoft corp.

                                    I installed firefox this morning. It takes all the favorites and other info right out of IE so there is virtually no setup time. The program runs much faster than IE.

                                    Should have done this before.

                                            I have the google toolbar installed on my Mozilla. It works nice. The new version even has PR now, but it takes it a little while to pull up the PR.

                                            I give mozilla in general a big

                                                doesn't anyone else realize that no matter who is on top, they are going to be the target..

                                                if firefox were suddenly the standard, tomorrow there'd be 500 exploits for it.

                                                  I'm surprised Microsoft hasn't put tabbed browing into IE yet. Mozilla's browsers have had it for a while, and that feature alone is worth downloading it. The new IE has a built-in pop-up blocker (like Mozilla has had for a long time) but nothing great to help it forge ahead of the competition.

                                                  Clever marketing text for sick mature sites goes here.

                                                      It seems pretty cool, the scrollbar sucks ass though - can't see the damn thing.

                                                                  Btw, once Firefox is the most used browser, people will start coding spyware for it. This is the internet.
                                                                  unfortunately this is true. maybe the Firefox guys are ahead of the curve and are making it spyware proof.

                                                                  i'm done with IE - except i'm still using Outlook Express.

                                                                                  Been using Opera 7.51 now for a few days. I'm very "hard" on browsers and during the day I end up opening several hundred pages.

                                                                                  I still can't get used to the tabbed browser.. Makes me feel.. "constrained" or something. But I've noticed some weird problems like graphics not loading properly, or going to a site and the CSS file not loading and I have to refresh the page. I changed the cache setting and that may have fixed that last problem but still not sure.

                                                                                  It has some nice efficiency things but one of the things I'm really not liking is something really small. With IE and netscape when you clicked on a link a small box appears around it. If you come back to the page it's still there. That doesn't happen with Opera. So when you're going thru a long list of links you can't figure out where you were if you've already visited a site. Such a small thing and it's iritating the hell out of me.

                                                                                  The "differences" in java script are also iritating. I still have to check things in IE because the "usuall" way of doing mouseovers for example doesn't show up properly in Opera.

                                                                                              So true, and since Firefox isn't backed by an actual company so much as it is open source developers that means fixes to these exploits will take much longer.
