mate you can resize stuff and they're both reallly customisable, this isn't IE the preferences section is actually of some use. In my experience the way opera and mozilla render a page is ever so slightly different to IE and imo nicer. I take it you also haven't tried mouse gestures, or any of the other features or even had a look at some of the lovely skins you can get.

Or you can just right-click on an empty space on the opera browser, select skin then get skins. :D

Yup. I use the OSX Grey skin, love it. Opera is a lot more customizable than IE, play around with some of the stuff it has, you'll like it.

I had been using opera and liked it alot. I just recently made a switch over to myie2 and so far am impressed it hasn't crashed on me yet, and seem pretty stable. Opera would crash on me occassionally but at least I could always start where I left off. Myie2 is also pretty customizable. Right now I'm using the panther skin and I really like it, and there are a ton of plugins for it, even though I don't use any.

I hate opera. I dont know why. Probably because the linux version of opera is so crappy that your forced to use mozilla.

But I hear the opera for windows is pretty good. :rolleyes:

I am a big fan of Opera. I was hooked once I started using the mouse gestures. Holding down the right mouse button and click the left to go back is great. One the rare occasion that I use IE I find myself trying to do this and I get annoyed.

Here is another reason to avoid IE IE problems (http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/56/33187.html)

@shn: What version of Opera for Linux have you used? I use 7.11 with Red Hat 9 and it works pretty well. I am a total linux noob and I don't run RH all that often but Opera seems alright.

ditto to everything dingobaby just said, but i just thought i'd add that MYIE2 has some of the mouse gestures (not all) so its not quite as annoying when your forced to use an IE version

I&#39;ve been using Mozilla Firebird (windows) for about 2 weeks now. I think its brillliant software and has not crashed on me yet. The thing that makes me really like it is that its open source&#33;&#33; I am a big fan of open source projects. So well done Mozilla.

Something else that leads me away from IE and Microsoft also is this book I read that turned my mind around. Its called "Speeding The Net" - The inside story of Netscape and how it challenged Microsoft. It tells the whole tale of the browser wars when they first began and onwards. I found it at an old book-sale so i doubt anyone would be able to find it on the net.
