More space?? Where you got the banner? :refuck:
Firefox is much tinier, well I have navigation bar and menubar in one bar, coz I like it, but Opera is still bigger :P

And oh, sorry, I won't pay for a browser, Internet connection is expensive enough. :P

yeah, cos its really hard to get rid of the banner without paying

* saralk whistles

anyway, i have tried ie, firefox, opera, mozilla and avant

I have to say that i find opera is the best, simply because im the kind of guy that likes having everything intergrated into one thing, and with opera i get my web browsing, e-mail, irc and rss feeds. Also there are loads of extra features that come with it, for example the fast forward button, which can be useful, and i know that firefox can have mouse guestures, with a plugin - but thats my problem with firefox, to get it up to opera's standards needs a plugin, and even though opera has more features, its still a smaller file size.

Also i find opera faster to browse the internet in general.

probably cos u had been using firefox for longer, so there was more stuff in the cache.

Well you can build up your own Firefox with http://extensionroom.mozdev.org.

And you should have in mind that Firefox is still BETA (btw, expect 0.9 release really soon ;))

Firefox being open source is also an advantage for the future, since there will be always somebody working on it or on extensions for it. So it's basically unlimited in features.
I have a plugin for my RSS feeds, a plugin for IRC, a plugin for gestures and the googlebar (the big one, not the standard searchfield).

If there's anything I want firefox to do I can code it (if I knew XUL :grin:) or look for a plugin.

I have tested Opera on my linux. It's very good, I must reckon, but that banner... :@

Btw, is the old good BrowSeSiDe (Browser Server-Side Detection) still working??

Firefox is the best, and you need to use IE bcz lots of sites still need it for the site to work correctly.

That's just because lots of sites do not follow the w3 standard...

Btw, Internet Explorer does neither follow HTML nor Javascript standards. ;)
But it accepts activeX :s
