    And that site is useful because they don't have to figure out how to install a whole new browser when they don't even know what a browser IS.

    It's OS/Browser Agnostic (well, except maybe IE6) so I'd say it's more useful.

    I like that you can just drag a tab to another screen easily with chrome, you need one step more with opera. But what else do you mean?

    Smooth tab sliding (none of that tiny blue insert cursor crap), squishy tabs (move it to the left and it cuts out the text). And don't even get me started on memory use and interface responsiveness. It's snappy as hell.

    You had me until interface respnsiveness.
    Really? I have FF, Chrome and Opera installed, and no other browser comes even near to having an interface half as responsive as Opera. Chrome is sluggish as fuck compared to it

    It's the opposite for me. Though FF and Opera are equal in usability and speed for me.

    i was kidding guys

    i use ff and chrome

    Chrome is kind of hard on my computer if i try to use it like i use ff, with a dozen tabs open. I'm trying to wean myself off of too many tabs, get it down to two or three anyway.

    I haven't tried Opera in a year.

    Right click + scroll wheel scrolls through your tabs in a small tab window
    The way the password management works (you have a "wand" button for auto-entering passwords and don't have to click on a login button that's at a different place on every page)
    Quickly downloading a bunch of stuff from a page with ctrl shift L
    Saving stuff in opera's internal clip board
    Quickly activate/deactivate pop-up control, plug-ins, java and javascript by pressing f12
    Block a single thing on any page with right click, block content, and shift-clicking
    Still being able to use web page when you have any browser dialogue open

    stuff like that I usually miss

    The scroll wheel thing, and I don't have mouse gestures installed on my firefox at work (these computers tend to break easily, it's best to not...fiddle with them). So sometimes I'll suddenly do a goofy mouse thing and nothing will happen and I'll be like "oh yeah..."

    Also, I honestly think Chrome is ugly. Unless they've changed it to actually respect system theme.

    And also, Opera does so many things that other browsers do that I'm so used to that I don't even think about them anymore.
