    I agree. It destroys my browsing experience utterly. i can't believe they added such a terrible, terribly feature.

    Oh no, wait! it's actually brilliant! You're one of these people who thinks having close buttons on window managers when there are perfectly handy menus and shortcuts is an abomination which should be off by default, aren't you?

    And you're an idiot, aren't you?

    The parent has a valid point of complaint. Automatic image resizing often distorts the image being loaded to a terrible degree, requiring an additional click to view the image properly.

    Whether or not that should be turned on or off by default is cause for a debate, I'm sure. But rather than bring valid arguments to the party, you just whine like a spoiled child.

    I think the funniest part is how you whine about ease-of-use UI, yet totally disregard the additional click that image resizing causes for many people.

    Yes, and it sucks big time. It sure isn't ready for "prime-time" as far as I can tell... Opera 7.2 is the future...

    i believe the reason why mozilla, firebird, etc are slow is because they use XUL ui, which is slow. They want firebird to be faster but they won't save much more than memory if they don't hit the core of the problem.
