Been using Opera since ver 4.x . It simply rocks and is the best - trust me. Safari may 'claim' to be faster, but I am not taking any of Steve Jobs' nonsense. If so why so many Mac users use firefox or other alternatives

I prefer flashpeak Slim browser which is integrated to IE but very faster than Safari FF and opera. Coz i have all 3 installed

Tried Safari for Windows - amazing ! Had IE7 since it first came along, went back to IE6, firefox (never worked properly w/ comcast?), and eventually back to IE7 after some kinks were removed. Last few months IE has gotten sluggish.
Safari loads most pages in less than one second. Browsers seem to be like a pair of shoes - whatever fits & feels good to you
Thank you for all your excellent posts and tutorials - have spent last 2 hours cruising thru your site. Thank you for sharing your computer knowledge with the rest of us!
