Made it to that list too,
maily due to their security focus.

Granted, Moz is #1 on that list, but it has
one big bonus over opera, that is its FREE.
However I find this mostly true:
Firefox: The best all-around alternative to IE. Great for power users who want to add functionality to the browser, and appropriate for newbies just getting started.
Internet Explorer: Best for corporate users in controlled environments and those who spend most of their time on Microsoft-branded or IE-specific Web sites.
Netscape: Best for AOL subscribers (with AOL Instant Messenger integration) and those who are willing to put up with some rough edges to use other goodies, including an HTML editor and e-mail program.
Opera: Best for power users who keep many pages open at once and perform frequent downloads. There's an e-mail program included, but banner ads on the free version of the browser are annoying.
Winzip on Slashdot?
Bwaahahahahahaah!
Read most of the replies and coulnd't agree more..
How did this pass the moderation? -SERIOUSLY-
There's so many good projects out there, let alone other more decent commercial software like the german winace and winrar, (and they both have a linux client!)
I prefer winrar myself, or linuxrar;)
To all these Firefox trolls out there...
try it completely first and then
if you don't like it...
Don't go on whining "oh, didn't even need the
serial...".
Yeah, we know firefox is free as in beer,
but thats besides the point.
I bought opera and it was hell worth it!
You know, as much as I use google, I don't
think its that interesting.
Every 4rth slashdot post ends up being about Google.
Ok we learned about the IM, does that need a reply post? No.
Ok we learned this about google now, which doesn't even matter. Some journalist's opinion that-- google is more evil that M$.
Google has a lot of road to cover to even
reach M$'s evil throne.
I haven't had an AOL cd sent to me for years...
Starting to sort of feel left out of the game!
Booohohooo.
Please send me a cd! Pleaaaase....
Gotta hang them up to scare the rabbits away.
Playing frisby with them, or just throwing them
off to hear the wind-cutting sound is fun too...
And what about that CD-wall project?
Heh, yet another renewable energy source--
given we don't run out of water.
Speaking of water, in the next 20 years
its expected to get a lot more expensive.
Start saving up now that its cheap:P
Ewww, just thought they would surely
think up of a device recycling your
own "waters"...
Kinda thinking about the Dune saga now..:P
Actually, all this is an effort to copy opera functions.
However mozilla by coding all these things
to keep up, adds a helluva lot more size to their
setup file.
Opera is shrinking every time.
(while adding, or optimizing existing code)
Mozilla is good for its value though... (free)

owns FF yet again ;)
Hail Opera! :D
Actually, the Japanese provide pretty cheap, REALLY fast internet. You can get at least a 100mbit for what we NA pay for 7mbit or less.
