  1. Opera? by iamdrscience · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    What about Opera? I much prefer Opera, it's got a lot of features Mozilla/Firefox don't and like Mozilla it's cross-platform (Windows, MacOS, Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, OS/2, QNX and BeOS!) and if you don't mind an ad banner (I don't at all), it's free.

    Plus, since it's not open source, you can make Richard Stallman cry (I realize that among the general public this has less appeal).
    Firefox is great, certainly in comparison to IE, but I truly like Opera better.

      I just wanted to point out that you are an ass hole for wanting to make Richard Stallman cry. Without Richard Stallman we wouldn't have any real alternatives to closed sorce software, linux wouldn't have goten off the ground, and hell slashdot wouldn't even exist. You are an Ass Hole and are not funny.

      If I've come off a litle to strong please excuse me I just finished fixing an ibook the was given to me, because its screen wasn't working, only to have it dye as soon as I put its case back on. :-(

    didn't the new version of IE that installs with SP2 come with a popup blocker and other advances? sure they don't have all the other nice things that one can get in firefox, but they're not entirely sitting on their behinds...

    How many Firefox/Mozilla users spoof their user agent to look like IE, so they can get into criminal* sites that require only IE?

    *Isn't aiding and abetting criminal activity itself a crime, and isn't Microsoft a convicted criminal monopolist *precisely* over the IE bundling issue? So if you enforce an IE-only site isn't that what you are doing?

    And what was his reason to get married in the first place, then have kids?

    People dont change drastically when you marry them. If there were problems, he ignored them and let them fester to the divorce and now disenfrachised kids.
