Despite the ``rapid release'' feel-good version number inflation, Firefox still has bugs from the Netscape era.

Did you actually read the bug comments? That's a non-issue. The only way around it is to make bad default assumptions, and the person having the bug fixed their server to output a standard message. The only story is that someone forgot to close it. Try harder next time.

Opera is truly an Internet browser rather than a simple web browser. It can be likened to the Seamonkey project in that it is a collection of Internet surfing tools bundled into one package.

Firefox is an operating system, so of course it changes significantly enough to warrant rapid releases.

Nah, they like doublespeak. They called themselves Micro Soft[ware], as if they develop efficient code.

Some should so for false advertising.
