    But maybe, the myth is in what they claim to be proving incorrect. Although if all that stuff about Opera is true who knows I might switch. Although Since I've switched to Firefox I don't have any complications from it.

    It says that I.E. has a minimum requirement of 16mb of RAM ... I'm pretty sure that your computer doesn't even have an ethernet port for high speed internet if you only have 16 mb of RAM.

    This page has a bunch of bull about how fast it is too. I downloaded the IE 7 Beta and it is slow as crap ... Firefox is way faster.

    It also says that Firefox isn't secure ... B.S. ... since I have switched to Firefox about 6 months ago ... I get less than half of the spyware and popups that I got with IE.

    So this website is full of alot of :censored:

    That's why most of us just ignore it... of course it's BS...

    It's all up to preference, that's the dead truth.

    they're basing firefox and mozilla's products against every product out there, that isn't fair. of course some programs are going to be better then others in different aspects. dont care what the author of that says, he/she is biased. its time that that person goes and rips apart IE and/or opera

    bye bye FF, opera will take your place lol

    its not basing it off EVERY web browser out there, its basing it off the freeware browsers, which a completely legitimate way of handling stuff.

    personally I love FF and I love opera, and I wont use IE no matter how much you want me to lol

    I use Opera and love it. It works like both Firefox and Ie put together, so web pages that are only compatible in IE are compatible in Opera, and webpages that are only compatible with Firefox are compatible with Opera.

    It has all those great Firefox features, plus, has a built in email client! Its skinnable, like Firefox, but has lots more features.

    Faster than firefox too, I tested it out many times, and Opera concluded as faster.

    Only problem with Opera is that it is a RAM hog, it takes up about 47kb of RAM, while Firefox only takes up about 25kb. Not a huge thing though, unless you are just squeezing by your RAM limit.

    Anyhoo... Opera > Firefox
