hmmm.. and why have never looked beyond explorer and netscape?

I've been using Opera almost as long as Jimi. I've installed Firefox, and it's okay, I suppose.

I miss my mouse gestures. I was told you could install them, but went to the skins/modules/whatever site and got a headache. It has that expandable complexity thing.

My gripe with Opera is that it's less supported by sites than Firefox, and that the newest version does the same reload thing that clears your form settings.

But I'm downgraded to 7.23, and fire up IE every now and again, but keep my million tabs open in Opera every day.

Quick question for the mac-daddies among us.

If you had the choice between an HP 840C printer or an HP 4215xi all-in-one (fax/copy/printer)...either one free, which would you choose.

I'm going to be using it with my iMac.

Thoughts please? I need to decide in the next half hour.

Cheers!

This was the main factor that tipped me towards Firefox.

It's been a while since I've come across a site that caused problems with Opera. There have been sites where I thought I was having a problem but it turned out to be shoddy coding and so didn't work in any of the browsers I have installed.

I will give Firefox credit for one thing Opera doesn't have--and probably never will have--and that's the plugin to disable flash. A bit of a pain when you come across a site that uses flash for menus etc. but handy for disabling those flash ads appearing every where.

Oh and another thing I like about Opera is its zoom function. It zooms the entire page, both text and images.

Off the top of my head the ones that bothered me recently were the Yahoo coupon for free ice cream (displays in Opera, doesn't print), and Gmail in general. Launch.com doesn't work either, IIRC.

Some Flash plugin detector scripts don't recognise I have it installed -- more often than not I just end up skipping those sites.

I wish Gmail supported Opera. That is my big frustration.

Of course, Opera is perfect for me because of it's ability to save sessions. If I have to restart my computer, it's nice to know that Opera will go right back to what I was looking at, usually at the same spot in the webpage. That, if nothing else, will tie me to opera for a long time.

I think there's a Firefox extension that allows you to do that as well. Someone on LJ was mentioning it the other day, but I haven't checked it out.

I just want to say, for the record, I suspect the guy in Best Buy was more enthusiastic than informed. The wireless adapter he sold me is not on the TiVo list.

But I will try anyway.

Sadly, the first guy I asked, the one who acted like he was in charge, handed me some sort of wireless modem, and then insisted my TiVo needed a phone line to work.

Thanks for trying, though.

I know Mozilla has the ability to save the last location without the need for an extension or plugin.
