use opera...mouse gestures are the **** (i think u can do this in firefox too)...also opera caches the streaming video if you want to copy it and view later without having to reload the page everytime. doing this saves much time when doing THE deed.

speaking of which, firefox's settings are wayyy too simple, in ie pretty much everything is customizable.
mine does this.

the people complaining that links won't just open up WMP or whatever, your settings aren't right. you just need to change the download setting so it will ask if you want to download the file or open it directly. you can then set it to do that action everytime, if you wish.
it's great, because now i can choose if i want to download or just open, and i do both often enough that it's better to ask me every time.
lol at whoever is using IE with the yahoo toolbar. wow. any extra toolbars in IE are crap and slow down your system.
and lol @ whoever said firefox's settings are way to simple and everything in ie is customizable. i found the opposite was true for me - i have firefox tweaked to perfection for me, and it's very difficult to find out how to change things in ie. plus firefox has so many add-ons now that even if you can't do what you want right now, there's like a 99.5% chance that there's an add-on that will do it for you.

i downloaded firefox maybe a year ago. it seems like its slightly faster/takes up less memory. but ie tabs >>> firefox tabs. so, i still use ie. i've really never understood what was so great about firefox.
