if you’re looking for a good browser alternative to Internet Explorer, you should really try Opera. it is far superior to IE in too many ways to count, with extensive customizability and lots of smart touches and features that increase usability a thousand fold. do give it a look when you can. Their new version, 7.01, just came out, and it is even better than the last version. i am overjoyed! hehe. I’ve converted my fiance and i’m on a mission to convert more folks!
what makes me mad, however, is that opera is still not supported by the good folks at blogger. I mean… they support netscape but not opera? Netscape’s days as a decent browser are long past them. It seems as if they were mired in their lawsuit against Microsoft (totally valid) for so long that they kind of missed their chances to excel at their original purpose – to build a better browser. Netscape is downright terrible, Mozilla is also stuck in 10 years ago — they have plenty of problems rendering pages and fail to incorporate any improvements in the overall browser experience that Opera very wisely picked up on. Oh yes, and the mail program is totally different… i’m playing with it right now and so far i’m really loving it~!!
So there. That’s my plug for Opera. now go download it!!
