A) ...
I can't exactly do that, since Opera has stopped development for da Mac people, and
B) It can't possibly be that good if they gave up that quickly.
The Omni team is still working on their project, as well as the Gecko team, and both want to try and one-up Apple's offering.

Well, I meant Windows people. You lucky Mac users get Safari.

But of course!
As always, I'm speaking straight from Mac OS experience, but I know that IE for Mac can be skinned very easily... it seems to me that IE for Windoze should be just as easy to skin...? (Since Microsoft is quite supportive of the themeing community, unlike Apple)

Last time I used Mozilla is was worse than IE. Ate up more resources than IE ever did.

Doesn't seem unreasonable to me. I like Mozilla because it doesn't crash (unlike IE).

The last version I used was Mozilla 1.4 RC2.

No, apparently it's 1.3.1. Never mind.

Did you install any of the extra stuff that comes with it or did you install just the browser only?
- 4,036
I think it got installed, but I don't use any of it.

I don't like Mozilla. Its okay but I'm against Netscape and it runs off of the NS software so...

Um, Netscape was built off Mozilla, not the other way round.
Opera sucks. It's standard supports are worse than that of Mozilla and IE's. In other words, it may have trouble displaying sites that use the latest web standards (XHTML, etc). I don't care about skins. So long as it isn't completely dull (like that SlimBrowser). Lastly, it doesn't display GTP correctly.
Oh, and why pay for an ad-free version of Opera, when you can download other skinnable, ad-free browsers (with better web standards support) for free?

...and IE is great (when it runs).

This is pretty much the only formatting trouble I've had.

Yup, i'm using Mozilla now.
I think this is what put me off using it, although I do seem to use it to browse other sites. God this text box sucks. Also it seems a little slower in loading the images on the page than IE.

See, I was having trouble getting images to load properly in IE at all...
