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.
