browser wars.

pros and cons of each major browser-

internet explorer:
- pros: default browser on windows.
- cons: poor css support, security crap, almost 6 years old.

firefox:
- pros: extensions/themes, open source, decent rendering.
- cons: memory usage, umm.

safari:
- pros: amazingly fast, looks cool, passes acid2.
- cons: proprietary, not that customizable for the average user.

opera:
- pros: passes acid2 test.
- cons: slower than safari, bloated, has ads in the browser, costs money, proprietary, shoves a lot of useless features in your face [blog and my opera? no thanks], copied apple with the widgets.

I'm just kidding. I don't mind Konqueror, you guys are just amusingly insignificant. (I fear the day Konq becomes usuable on Windows)

Enjoy your ram usage and hacking config files each time you upgrade Firefox and it cries about incompatible extensions. Opera's mouse gestures work great from the second you install it and tend to more accurately recognise your gesture from what I can figure out. It also takes advantage of Opera's fairly complex commands system where you can tie sequential commands together and even use | symbols for alternate commands, which is something your "LOL MOVE TO LEFT MEANS GO BACK A PAGE" extensions can not.

As for proper text and image zoom, my Firefox 2 beta doesn't.. are you referring to an extensions that lets you do this or are you saying the "proper way" is the standard IE6\Firefox 1\Safari one?

Opera is for people who want a powerful browser and no bullshit. Go make a crop circle and sell dorky t-shirts about it.

Blah blah blah and Openoffice.org is worth using because MS Office cheats. It doesn't even matter if IE kills Jews to work fast, fact is it works fast and it's silly not to count this as an advantage. Opera also discounts the idea that you have to be at this low level to be fast, so blame Mozilla for being incompetent, not MS for using cheap tactics.
