no, it's because you're not a nigger, unlike most people here.

I hope they improved the reliability

I used Firefox 2.0 beta 1 and ended up getting really pissed off. The thing crashed several times a day, I submitted a bug report every time. Went back to 1.5, and happily sailing along again. Firefox hasn't crashed since I went back to the last non beta.

But ... but ... but ... Opera is not Open Sores and not Free (as in crap) Software. It's just free as in US-American piss-flavoured beer.

Firefox has its sores wide open and is inherently the best browser on The Internets.

Re:Does it still hog memory?

[Overly Critical Guy]

A "sheep?" I'm a sheep for some reason because I use a browser that packs more features than Firefox, doesn't require extensions to get them, and still manages to use half as much memory and ship in a smaller installer filesize?

Does Opera come with the features contained in ConQuery, Flashblock, Gmail Notifier, IE Tab, Nuke Anything, Slashdotter, and Web Developer?

Yes, it does. Next.

I might install Opera for my grandma, though.

Shouldn't you be off cloning Opera's features and adding them to the bloated, memory-leaking Firefox codebase?
