Browser Comparison - Firefox 2 b1, IE7 b3, Opera 9
mikemuch writes "The browser wars have heated up again, with Microsoft putting Beta 3 of Internet Explorer 7 out for all to download (not just developers anymore), Firefox coming out with the first beta of its version 2, and Opera releasing version 9. ExtremeTech has a shoot-out of the three browsers, with feature comparisons and tests of resource usage, startup time, and Acid2 standards compliance. Standout features are Opera's built-in BitTorrent support, Firefox's spellchecker for forms, and IE's Quick Tabs view. Firefox is still ahead in extensions, while Opera has some slick UI conveniences."
opera for the desktop is free.. it has been for a while.. you only have to pay for it if you want it for moblie devices or phones and that such..
which by the way Opera on the PocketPC is worth the money it beats the crap out of all mobile browsers

amen. middle click or use ctrl+t. a toolbar button is flat stupid. if you're navigating you will have mouse in hand already so middle click it (even if it's a bookmark or toolbar bookmark.) if you need to go to a site or search ctrl+t is fine since you're going to be typing anyways.
i wish i had some mod points.
