On the subject of browsers: I just downloaded
Opera 9. I did so pretty much just for sport. I've been committed to
firefox for some time, but I stumbled on a couple of rave reviews for opera and decided to go for it.
A couple of notes:
1) it plays nice. meaning it installs easily and w/o any ham handed "I'll be your browser now attitude."
2) it looks good. the interface is pretty and intuitive
3) it is good for testing and esoteric/geeky web dev activities.
4) it has several neat features: the site by site preferences, the rewind / fast frwd feature, the tab preview balloon, the trash can for closed tabs, etc
My
been using it for 45 minutes review is definitely two thumbs up.

Designed, in part, in response to competition from Firefox Uh, no, designed ONLY in response to competition from Firefox. Microsoft hadn't touched IE in years, except for a few security patches, until Firefox started gaining marketshare and mindshare. Until then their idea of competition was to purposely make MSN render badly for Opera users.

Yup, my Firefox at home and at work updated automatically yesterday. All I had to do was restart the browser. :) I love Firefox.
