I used to use Opera a long time ago, but I stopped using it when they discontinued a feature I used (co-branded Opera). I never upgraded and then the old version started having more and more problems with websites. So I went back to IE. Recently I tried FireFox. I think I may try Opera again and see if its better. It would be nice if it would solve my memory problem with IE and Firefox taking up all the RAM.

Opera 8.x is pretty slick but I know of several people who prefer features found in older versions that wer later dropped. Are you using any browser for co-branding? I used IE years ago but they dropped the co-branding program overnight. Woke up to a lot of calls the next day - lol. Stayed away from it after that but I think it might be time to revisit the co-branding idea.

I tried Opera again. Not bad. Nothing really stood out for me though, although it did seem faster loading on many pages.

Interesting, I have used FF for about 3 months and find it to be substantially faster than IE.

That depends on a couple of things:
- Do you have the latest patched version of IE?
- Is your computer Adware and Spyware free?
If both are true, IE seems to be slightly faster in my experience. But I also keep a clean computer.

Some of the extensions and skins for FF slow it down a lot, but I like them to much to give them up.

That's probably it. I do have a bunch of really nifty extensions that make my life a lot easier as a webmaster.

If MS does things right with IE, I'd switch back. But they'll have a
long way to go as I've got some killer plugins for FF that I won't give
up.
