Opera!  
IE, you have pissed me off for the LAST time! I happen to love right clicking and when you mess that up, it makes me very irritated!

IE, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

Hel-lo, Opera. Aren't you pretty?

(I was going to go with Firefox since I already have it installed, but I seem to like - and operate - Opera better. Plus, Opera is faster than Firefox.)

I switched to Firefox months ago, I could no stand the slowness of IE. Microsoft is shit, I can't believe they're practically the leader in computer techonologies. None of their stuff works!

So true! I should have switched a while ago (that's why I downloaded Firefox a few months back), but I hate any sort of change on my computer. Everything must have the same layout, the same design (except for colours etc). But I just reached the absolute END with IE today.

I'm the same, but I found a really nice theme for Firefox so it didn't seem like too much of a difference!

I'm surprised you were still using IE. Bad, Amsie, bad! :p

Firefox, opera, netscape, really, anything besides IE will get the job done. As far as I can tell, users of these browsers never really seem to argue with one another. They all gang up on the IE kids.

I know! Shocking!

I didn't switch 'cause I'm a Gemini ;). We Geminis hate change. I think that's also why I haven't switched from GIMP to Photoshop.

But Opera is very pretty and user friendly.

Oh! Opera is faster than Firefox? I'll have to try it!

Yup, it's faster for me (I operate on Vista, btw). Wiki says: The Opera Software company claims that Opera is "the fastest browser on Earth."[18] Third-party speed tests showed that Opera 9.01 performed faster than any other browser in four out of seven speed tests on Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X and three out of seven on Linux. Its strongest point by far was JavaScript execution, performing about twice as fast as the other browsers.

This is good to know. I'm on Vista too, and I found IE just riddled with crash issues; and have fewer issues with Firefox, but it's not perfect.

Thanks for sharing you knowledge! :)

Also, I've just been learning Opera's mouse operations. You can refresh, go back, all that, and it's awesome. Apparently Firefox only has some of the operations.

Hope you find Opera works well for you :).

I just looked at a cap archive and omg, Opera loads it *so, so* fast. Much faster than Firefox.
Pax[info]paxm on April 9th, 2008 10:41 pm (UTC)
Ohhhhh... I just installed it and am using it... It's AWESOME!

It's so clean and pretty, isn't it?

I recommend putting your most essential links in your "personal bar" (which sits above the tabs).

Good tip! I'm doing that now. Very cool!

I switched to Firefox about a year or two ago, and got Opera for my phone last year. *dances* Goodriddance, IE! I like both better than I ever liked IE.

(Opera is faster than Firefox? Maybe I should download it and try it on my laptop.)

Alternate browsers for the win!!!! I'm a Firefox gal myself, but Opera's pretty cool, too (Wii uses it!)

Anything's better than IE! *nods* First thing on my mom's new computer - I installed FF, due to obvious, above-listed reasons ^^ Opera is a good choice, too, I use that on my Mac, because the Mac version of FF is creepy and lame!
