Opera is going to die, Firefox is going to die, Netscape is going to die, Microsoft Internet Explorer
is going to win.! Simple as that. Grow up will you?? :)

> Kill Firefox and go Opera ;)

Nah, Opera is too bloated for me, and I can't live without Firefox's extensions. :)

thefool, in the south. Opera/Firefox/Netscape is Helmut Lotti sings da rock, Microsoft Internet Explorer is

> i use adblock a lot

I simply cannot surf without Firefox + AdBlock. Here at work, they have IE,
and the amount of ads on web sites is disgusting! Slows everything down
while banners, SWFs, etc are loading when visiting sites. Some pages here
at work take 30 seconds to load -- at home with Firefox + AdBlock the same
pages take 2 seconds. :)

I feel that the problem with Opera is that it tries too hard to be everything
to everyone. There's too many options and features everywhere. With
Firefox, it's a lean, clean, secure browser -- and if want a special feature
I just install the extension for it (which are only about 20-100 KB in size).
I've yet to see something in Opera that isn't available as an extension in
Firefox... :)

Flashblock is essential to my browsing. I love having the OPTION right on the page to play the flash animations if I want to.

:? Opera..?, Go Firefox!!!!
Opera is just... Too boring for me :D Bring the electronic music on, the fox will dance, plus, he doesnt sell his body.. hes free, free for you, for everyone!

As a side-note: GOOGLE will eventually take their own browser.. and after that.. their own OS.. dont trust me I don't care, it will just happen. Then don't say I DIDNT MENTION!

Yep, I read about this already somewhere. Something about a domain
registered by Google Inc called "gbrowse" or something similar to that?
Can't recall now. I think I read it on Cnet, I'll check when I get home.

Okay, I found the Cnet link about Google possibly making a browser:

http://news.com.com/Clues+may+point+to+ ... tml?tag=nl

I almost got the domain right: it's www.gbrowser.com :)

And Google even hired a previous Firefox coder:

Big things ahead! :)
