The reason i like firefox is because it’s EASILY flexible, extendable, configureble, usable, but the thing is that it uses a LOT of memory (once reached 1GB of memory consumption).

Opera is very fast, but lacks all the features i mentioned for firefox above. It doesn’t have excellent extensions like superdragngo, html tidy, tab plus mix etc. It’s not easily customizable in various aspects (mouse gesture, additional tab functions, etc)

try to download opera tools as well which is something like adblock on firefox…

also, you can right-click and copy link location too in Opera, wonder why your version’s different from mine…

try going here for more info about customising Opera for yourself:

if opera has amazing memory management, then perhaps it’s time for me to switch to opera from firefox, because my computer has low memory. but then again reading why you cannot switch to opera, the point about cannot right click and copy link location, that is no good as i use that a lot of times.

so… *confused* one hand want to switch to opera, one hand don’t want. and i had been having problems with firefox lately too. as i commented in sapiensbryan’s blog, sometimes firefox will close by itself all of a sudden in the middle of surfing! weird!

If you install MSN toolbar, you can use Tab Browsing in IE6, but then again…I’ve given up all my hopes on IE…lol.
