"Used to switch to firefox, because of the new stuff IE didn't offer. But then I found Opera. And is just is the better tool. A swiss knife compared to a butterknive. It contains everything I need and more, without the need for extra plug-ins. The best things are it's speed and light weight. I'm at the moment runnning Opera with 8 windows containing 203 tabs!!! and the email client. And it stays fast as ever! I use a window for the mail and links I open form there, one for studies, and seperate windows for the projects I work on. When I'm not working on a project for some time I save the window. The only problem is restarting the browser, all these windows have to reload :P Second best are the mouse gestures. I use the back and forward buttons on my mouse to switch between tabs and the gestures (that are faster) to do the navigating. I also like Opera-link, I can work on my phones, work-pc and portable with usb-version with all my links and notes and contacts. And how about the most secure browser, for your safety and privacy. (BTW. Use a master-password, then it's about impossible to steal your passwords) Opera has its own rendering engine (presto) which is one of the best around. This is a strong point, but also a weakness, not every website-builder knows Opera... The only problems are in websites that are build by people that don't test there creations. Luckily more and more sites are build following to the w3c-standards."
