SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the comparative advantages of Mozilla Firefox and Opera over Internet Explorer (IE). Users consistently highlight Opera's superior stability and lower memory footprint, with claims of running sessions for over a month without crashes, while Firefox struggles to maintain stability. Despite Opera's strengths, participants acknowledge Firefox's extensive extension ecosystem, which enhances its functionality. The conversation also touches on the evolution of IE, particularly with the introduction of IE7, which incorporates features like tabbed browsing but still falls short in user trust and performance compared to its competitors.

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. a lot 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.
