Re: [OT]Opera

Hi,

I just have to intervene here...

Opera is in no way the fastest browser... Speed in a browser is entirely

dependent on a number of factors, ie your inet speed, inet hops, server 
configuration, how the webpage is built and so forth...
My point is that even Ie can be that fastest some times (although that's

a rare site).

As for Firefox keeping reloading for you, you MUST'VE done some weird 
configuration...

Don't get me wrong, Opera is a nice browser, I would probably be using 
it if it hadn't been for those darn ads...

Oh, and one more thing... Firefox is the ONLY browser that support w3c 
standards 100%...
