    of course that will be tough when Microsoft copies all of Firefox's features in the next release of IE.

    Oh, don't worry, by then I'm sure Firefox will have copied even more of Opera's features.

    Tabbed browsing was a good first feature to copy, but now Opera has native SVG support, a voice-recognition UI, and a nifty bookmarking system that saves excerpts of the bookmarked pages. Come on, Firefox guys, what are you waiting for? I want my open-source innovation!
