    Ok ok... sorry, I'll play nice.

    I tried Opera a while back to see what all the fuss was about with the mouse gestures, but I never really found it to my taste.
    I also didn't like the ad bar so I had no choice but to crack it. A browser you need to crack = blah.

    So I continue to be one of those increasingly annoying Firefox fanboys you see on just about every forum.
    same here. The ad bar totally pissed me off.

    Firefox.
    I love how easy it is to get skins and extensions for it.

    Well.. I have used both FireFox and Opera... And honestly... In the end.. I have to side with Opera... I can't really explain why.. But I like it more than FireFox.

    I like Opera because of the eMail app innit.
    I like Firefox because the plugins like Adblock and the others.

    Here's a real Fanboy when it comes to Opera:

    Thunderbird, can be built to work with Firefox.

    I dont have anything against Opera, Just as {I}{K}{E} said, its too bulky. Wont use half the things it offers.

    Hmm... Does Opera use a lot of resources? And I think I'll try it out as soon as my Adobe DL finishes Thanks a lot for the suggestions

    As for the "adbar" could someone give me info on what it is and how to get rid of it (PM me).
