agreed: "built on the latest, most energy efficient fabrication process"
agreed: "plants itself firmly between the 4830 and 4850 in terms of performance"

agreed: "High standard-compliance"
agreed: "Great for web developers: design and debugging. "
agreed: "Speed - reloading 5 tabs on browser startup takes 4 seconds (FX 3.0.5), the same task with Internet Explorer 7 takes 14 seconds (until all tabs are fully loaded). This is on a Athlon 64 6000 with 2 Gbyte Ram under Windows XP Pro."
agreed: "Its easier to integrate into different OS themes (e.g. using Windowblinds)."
agreed: "Built in hierarchical Bookmarks Toolbar. Easier usable than scrolling through a sidebar. (just point and click not click - expand - click - expand - click)"

disagreed: "v3 Default theme sports obnoxiously large and glossy back button "
disagreed: "V3 violates web standards"
disagreed: "The full potential of this browser can only be unlocked by downloading & trying the (free) extensions. Choosing between hundreds of them can be a daunting task."
disagreed: "Crashes when multiple tabs with Flash are open."
disagreed: "Bad Flash integration"
disagreed: "The browser completely locks up if there's any hiccup in Internet connectivity "
disagreed: "Slow javascript "
disagreed: "Tons of seemingly unnecessary updates that force you to restart the browser "
agreed: "Websites designed with proprietary IE/Active X code may not render correctly"
disagreed: "Firefox V2 crashes semi-regularly and uses a lot of computing resources"
disagreed: "Unresponsive interface "
disagreed: "Can suck up a lot of CPU cycles for no reason "
