    Wow...the new Opera is by far the fastest browser I've ever used. It beats my ultra-modded Firefox by a mile. Plus all advertising is gone - this software is 100% free. Give it a try, and you'll see what I mean.

    Let's see...

    - It's more secure than Firefox. The latest developments show that Firefox is only more "secure" because hackers are not bothering with it yet. But FF has the potential to be less safe than IE.
    - It has integrated BitTorrent. I absolutely love that feature.
    - More customizability with toolbars, buttons, bookmarks, etc.

    I'll come up with more as I discover em. :)

    // Just for the record, I have been a diehard Firefox fanboy. I've had Firefox every since the 0.5 Beta, right up until the 1.5 Beta. Opera beats it like it's nobody's business.

    I got Opera when they were giving out the codes... I hope this one is better because for some reason I didn't like it as much as FF.
