Also - all Opera Mini traffic goes through their servers, afaik, from where it is compressed and then sent to my phone. I hope the full Opera doesn't do the same?

Opera has a built-in content blocking feature, as well as pop-up blocker. It's fully customisable, so you can also use it to block an annoying siggy or what have you.

Opera also has built-in IRC and mail clients. I don't use either of them, though. The IRC client is ok for a very casual IRC user, but that's about it. As for the mail client, I've always prefered webmail to a client app, so I can't say I've used it enough to comment on it.

Is it possible to import your FF AdBlock ban list into Opera10? Any idea where Opera10 saves the banlist?

Yes, Opera and the internet go so well together.

Unlike opera and everything else.

IE8 now has the tabs as seperate proccesses as well, however if a tab crashes, I still have to kill the whole lot and start again.

Windows 7 when released in Europe on August 22nd (think the dates right), won't have IE on it, you will have a choice of I think IE, FF, Opera, Chrome and maybe Safari (although being an apple product not sure about that one).

I have tried several AOL versions of IE, IE, and Firefox 2 and 3.

AOL is gigantic bloatware...
always has tried to satisfy everyone, always will... always will fail with me.



IE is sort of like a 5-year-old kid who answers every statement with:
"Why?"

...in that you can either let it have everything:
JavaScript, Active X, good, bad, buggy, malicious, etc...

or you can say no to stuff, and then IE requires a confirmation for every accepted use or denial of whatever you have restricted:
scripts, JavaScript or Active X, or whatever else...
anytime you want to use any of that code...

even if you have used the same script on the same exact same web page 5 times in the last 4 minutes, if you want to use it again:
"Why?"

makes me want to buy a 12 gauge shotgun and point it at my monitor.





Firefox rocks my socks!

although if they could manage to separate the processes out by tab,
without starting from scratch, that would be much better.

This is a easy one.

FF for everything.

IE can't beat FF in massing if you set up FF right and you offcourse do then your able to mass 20 times faster than any other browser there is.

Tho Opera is also ok.

2 Browsers to stay away from: Chrome and IE.

They both are the source of alot of issues in security, they both collect information they send to their maker Microsoft and Google, issue is they collect information from all parts of your PC they might not send all true but if you use them then its easy to estract the info they containe, the fact that IE allows 90% of worms, viruses and Trojans true without any security program can catch them because they are flawed.

That are big enough reasons to ban IE and Chrome on the spot.

Then there is the fact that even windows 7 where your asked to choose will you still have IE installed because Windows 7 like so many other windows can't work without IE installed they just don't link to IE anywhere you need to find it, that says alot about why IE is so big a security program its part of Windows Core/Kernel and therefore so easy to misuse.

Then i like FF also for the fact it has protection against Phishing, webpages and well i could go on .

Ohh yes Thunderbird a good mail client the best i seen so far .

IE has no merits and FF craps all over it...


IE=
