Firefox > All
I gave Opera an honest to god shot, and it just wasn't up to par.

Firefox is weaksauce ...
Opera saves me a ridiculous amount of time w/ its features like mouse gestures, the wand, speed dial, custom searches, one-click form fills, notes, etc. plus it can be tweaked to get IN-FVCKING-SANE download speeds. This is with 10 Mbps internet ...

When you add these features in Firefox (which are sub-par imitations to say the least), you end up with a piece of shit, unstable memory hog of a web browser (not to mention not all of them are even available for Firefox).

Not really ... If everyone does it, my ISP is bound to find a way to stop it, thus cutting my download speeds //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
I will say all this info is attainable using Google.

It seems to be laid out like IE7. I hate the layout so I'll probably steer clear.

Opera ftw

If you notice, too, It spawns a new process for each tab. Meaning, If one of your tabs freezes up, you don't have to kill the whole session and restart like in FF, you simply kill that process and move on.

just downloaded it.....gonna compare Firefox 3, Safari, Chrome, and Opera. Been using FF for a few years now, and use opera mini on my cell phone. I haven't changed or evaluated browsers in a while, so I'm gonna explore all of them and see which one I like best.

the backend on it is much better than FF. Also it uses 1/4 the resources as firefox //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
