Is there an alternative to IE and Firefox?

I tried Chrome but wasn't all that impressed.  Then I tried opera (before I saw you posted it... but thanks anyway!) and I think I'm going to stick with it.  It loads crazy fast and keeps all windows as tabs, so a new browser won't load up for an advertizement.

 

Thanks for helpin me out.

opera is pretty solid.

 

Any reason why Firefox is not acceptable?

 

 

 

Well, my computer isn't exactly new, and firefox tends to shut itself down on a regular basis so I needed an alternative.

 

 

Day two with Opera is working well.

Opera is a great choice for people with older computers or slow Internet connections. I think of it kind of like 'Firefox-lite'.

 

Firefox will do everything Opera does and much more, but it works much better on newer/faster computers. For example, it does not work well on my 3 year old Dell Desktop running Windows XP, but it's amazing on my 2 month old laptop with Vista and 3Gigs of ram.

 

I'm hooked on Firefox because of all the great add-ons that are available.

My computer is about 5 years old and I just upgraded it to 1GB of memory about a month ago. I've been running Firefox on it for years with no problems.
