    Have these new features added additional bloat to the once-lean Firefox? I mean the anti-phishing thing and spellchecker are both cool, but why not leave these two things (particularly the spellchecker) as extensions?

      I keep being amazed by these people who advocate Mozilla by naming stuff Opera had 5 years ago. Accept it, it's the better browser. But apparently people prefer using Netscape...

      Maybe, just maybe, because Opera is closed-source.
