The discussion centers around the comparison of web browsers, particularly Opera, Firefox, and Internet Explorer (IE). Users express a preference for Opera due to its stability and lower memory footprint compared to Firefox and Mozilla, with claims that Opera can run for extended periods without crashing. However, Firefox is noted for its extensive range of extensions that enhance functionality, making it more versatile despite its stability issues. The introduction of IE7 is acknowledged, with some users noting improvements like tabbed browsing, but it is still viewed unfavorably compared to Opera and Firefox. Concerns about security vulnerabilities in IE are also raised, highlighting a general distrust of Microsoft's browser. Overall, while Opera is favored for performance, Firefox is recognized for its customization options, and IE is criticized for its historical shortcomings.

That's not really fair you know, i think Opera had tabbing before both IE and FF, but when FireFox went for tabs you didn't hear much about it. Alot of people just dislike IE and Microsoft because most people dislike IE and Microsoft. It's the popular thing.

I have always used IE and never had too much trouble with it. some of the 101 things have been fixed in newer IE's, like tab browsing.

Hmm, Opera you say. Might have to check it out. I was having a bit of trouble with Firefox using upwards of 150,000 K of mem for 2 windows. Then I cleaned my registry and its doing better, but still fairly high. Anyways, yeah IE sucks and Firefox and others are better. Even more proof of the power of open source.
