Opera > *

Seriously though, apart from the fact that UAC doesn't like Opera, the amount of major differences between Opera and Mozilla is few (and it's decreasing; I was reading somewhere that mouse gestures were coded into Mozilla or something now) so it's a matter of personal preference.

FireBird here too. Was using it since the 0.3 days (known as phoenix until .5). With Mozilla / firebird you can have some pretty cool extentions, ie mouse gestures, tool bar to remove/load pics (like opera) and million other extentions. You can get extentions from:

Just click on one and it will automatically install for you.

More than one browser. Rofl. Those idiot developers just have to make our lives harder don't they?

Something looks right on IE6 for example and looks like shit on netscape. =[
And MacOS is like another browser all together. Even if a page IS compatible with all browsers, it will still look screwed up in MacOS IE or Safari or wateva.

If some of the developers (I'm not pointing fingers at any particular monopoly) stuck to standards it'd be easier to get pages looking the same. Standards exist for a reason, y'know.

(Frontpage/Dreamweaver doesn't help either - I want to know why DW puts in useless sections such as <p><font color="#000000"><div></div></font></p> )

Actually, methinks HTML is a good demonstration of overloading gone bad. It was originally designed as a loose formatting guide: it was supposed to (and it did, for a while) give the user the ability to choose how the page is displayed. (Freck, it was more like TeX than anything else.)
Web designers decided they needed to control the end user more, unfortunately. *Sigh*

Click to expand...
I sympathise. It's impossible to make a W3C complient page AND support the major browsers ...

Netscape is the one for me at the moment. I converted from IE a few months ago, never looked back. :)
