Thought:
Opera was selling at USD 39 per license. Now it is free! For sure, Opera will gaining more browser share now. The question is that the share from IE or Firefox? Will current Firefox users switch to Opera? I will try Opera 8.50 and see if it is able to make me switched.

    Opera is fast, but it takes more memory than Firefox, try to open the ‘Task Manager’ and you’ll know

    Firefox is good, but if you let it open and don’t use it a while, it’ll be very slow at the startup when you restore it back, wonder why.
