i know i've raved to most people about opera already, but i had to post about the latest release. opera is by far the best web browser i've ever used, and this latest version's fixed the last problem it had which was that it was slow and would crash a little too often. this version is amazingly lightweight, possibly even lighter than internet explorer, stable, and the GUI is even sleeker and more customizable than before. why did i prefer it even when it was buggy? it has all the features that IE and netscape should have added years ago, inc. a great password manager, popup blocker, shortcuts for new blank window and new window that's a copy of the current one, open all bookmarks, and tabbed panes for each window (huge plus). i also love the smart page forward feature, which is great for reading through many pages of text or images, and the mouse gestures, which you can use as shortcuts for options like back and refresh. highly highly highly recommended. when was the last time internet explorer updated? it seems so archaic now. use this referrer link to give me a few cents.
