I have never used opera..So I can say much about it...It cost money as far as I know. I have had IE do some bad stuff to me...I have also seen others who have been wacked while using it...So I pretty much stay away from it. Never had a bad experience with Netscape 4.7 until it just got to old to work at a lot of sites. When it quit working properly at FR then I switch to Mozilla. Now Firefox by Mozilla is all the rave. So I am tring that. It works pretty good. And by clicking on "Tools" and extensions then you can add a google bar(amoung other things) which I am told is the latest rave in IE. So why not give it a try. It less than 5megs to download and it will import all of your IE settings and favorites the first time you open it...If you ask it too.
I guess I beat Firefox Rev...
I demanded it to import, and it did! ;)
