Other than Firefox and IE, do give Safari also a try. I love the way it renders pages (but its still buggy and crashes every other time :) ) Regarding site, even I noticed the change. Looks like my host Dreamhost fixed something !! Mohan, yeah I have heard of Opera a lot. Other than Firefox and IE, do give Safari also a try.

But Firefox and IE7 are also have improved a lot. By the way Venu, your site loads much faster today. Really nice feeling. Have you done something...

The video's properties says it's Windows Media Video 9. My Windows did a big auto update in early December that left my installed Firefox version dead in the water. Just now I researched Firefox updates -- I don't know that you can bet the auto-update feature will take care of everything all the time. But what worked very well for me in early December was stumbling across the beta site for Minefield, the version of Firefox that's supposed to work with Vista. Here and here. I installed Minefield and it copied across all my favorites and bookmarks. It's been working flawlessly on my Win XP system -- better than before I would say, although I have been getting new version installs about twice a week. __________________ Bob E pluribus Airstream Try that 'Search' function -- it works!

There are so many who have not even heard of it. Opera does not have any plugins, but there are not many things I miss from not having plugins - I dont think having fancy clocks or calendars serve too much of purpose. I think Firefox has cashed in very well on the anti-IE factor. Opera is still a long way behind in terms of popularity, but not in terms of features. If you are trying opera for the first time, try the stable version 8.54 http://opera.com/ Version 9.0 has some good features, but is still in beta. So, it may not be that stable.

I landed on this link http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/browserSpeed.html You might be happy to see that he found opera as the best browser!!! I am definitely going to check it out. But on features side.. I guess firefox has some goodies like plugins which make the browser more powerful.. I am not sure if opera also has plugin support.. I am not sure why people don't use opera.. even when I check my site statistics I see people using only IE or Firefox.. I guess the GetFireFox campaign has worked well for Firefox... I think someone should start Get opera !! yeah i had even read your blog on opera.. and today I decided to check if there is any benchmark to decide which is the fastest browser.

Opera 9 has search configuration, which is very good, easily configurable with shortcuts. I can type "z da vinci code" in the address bar and it will search for "da vinci code" in amazon(z is the shortcut for amazon) and you can change the shortcuts if you like! But, I liked the spell check option in firefox 2. If I am using an external feed reader, whats the point of configuring that in firefox? I did not understand this.
