I hate Opera, I use Safari (when on mac) and Firefox(when on windows).
Firefox might be decent if it didn't suck up memory like a wino locked in a liquor store. :D
Massively improved in version 1.5 (at least in linux)

We've already discussed this one: viewtopic.php?p=236715#236715

33% more memory than Opera (with considerably more functionality) is hardly "sucking up memory like a wino".

Especially when we're talking about <30mb of memory total, at a time when 1,000+ is standard.

Let Firefox run for a while with a number of web pages open. Especially if they use flash. :) Plus it doesn't like to give back memory after you close out web pages. The only cure is to exit FF and reload it and even then it doesn't free up everything it uses even with the latest version. One of the bigger complaints around about FF. But that's only one complaint. ;)

But enough of this.

What is kind of sad is that they have had that domain registered since 1999.

Record created on 08-Mar-1999.

This is really sad...

http://www.ie8.com
http://www.ie9.com
http://www.ie10.com
http://www.ie11.com

and there are more. They are all basically domain parked for the future. All of these people hoping to make money from MS in the future. Most were created years ago.

This thread is referencing a joke, what you are referencing is not a joke.
Thats substantially different from your thread, which attacked general concepts, offered no alternatives, little reasoning, and proceeded to continue that same process against the individuals stating opposing opinions.
To make it clear, I'm not referencing eCommunism thread (the last part of my last post there was, indeed, wrong). I'm referencing another thread, which was deleted. And that thread linked to parody, so technically it was a joke.
