ok, for the argument of firefox vs. ie....

I just grabbed it with no problems. Mods, I beg you, don't mod garbage like this as "funny." Or insightful, or anything else. The guy has a good point but it's not really applicable to a product like FireFox.

1.5 Beta / Deer Park by jgerry · 2005-09-21 04:36 · Score: 0, Offtopic

1.0.7? Neato, but I've been having fun playing with the 1.5 betas and 1.6 alphas. They have one great thing going for them -- they are FAST. Considerably faster than any previous release. I've tested Linux, Windows, OS X. Firefox team, you're getting there! Kudos.

Yeah, most extensions don't work. People are complaining about the new look of the menus (doesn't bother me). Definitely create a new profile and use it.

Hmm, I think now I'm too busy enjoying the greater speed and stability (and toys) of Opera to wrestle another FF release to the mat.

Note to the people who were ranting about open source in the 'Opera is free' article: I am just expressing an opinion. Here's how you deal with that: you read it, you think, 'well well, that's that guy's opinion', you move on. There's no need to get angry. It's not a contest, it's not a jihad, it's not a playground argument. It's just some guy making a remark. There, see how much less stressful it is when you think of it like that?

Besides the missing ads at the top, I haven't noticed any differences between
Opera 8.5 and 8.02.

I haven't seen a mod point in ages.
