    IE works fine for me. No viruses, no pop-ups, and it works great for everything I need it to do.

      Apparently, you don't browse.

      I don't use IE, but did you know that the MSN toolbar now includes a tabbed interface...

      That once caught me by surprise...

    Why would a troll wear a uniform?

    I guess maybe he was uninformed with regards to the troll dress code.

    Now if Opera really wants some market share, they just need to find more things to celebrate for another 364 days with the same benefits... ;) </toungeincheek>

    You should teach them a lesson by boycoting their free registration.

    Opera is simply the best porn browser ever.

    It blocks pop-ups.
    It doesn't get infected with ActiveX crap.
    It notifies you of phishing attempts.
    It can zoom the images.

    Best of all: one handed browsing - you have a page with a lot of image links, you click the first and then just press space to go to the next link. Also works with pages where the next link is marked with Next or with >. Quite handy when you have only one hand to spare.

    I've seen a lot of things on slashdot, but is this the first time a link to free serials has been posted on the front page?
