another Firebird user.

I still use IE6 when I am working. We develop a web app that builds dynamic PDFs. For some reason, Firebird "caches" (for lack of a better description) the PDFs and does not show changes made when a new window is opened.

If it weren't for that, I would not use IE at all.

I just switched to...

FIREBIRD!!!

It is soooo great.... I am a big fan of Opera and just picked up Firebird like a week ago. Now i'm switching my work browser over too. Man, Opera was fast, but it got to feeling a little bloated after a while. Firebird is great, and if you ever want all the other nice stuff, just install a new extension! I have 5 choice extension and now my broser is perfect. I believe firebird is faster than opera too!

opera

IE

Opera 7.23
Fcuking rules.
Especially the ability to use my mouse`s middle click as "open page in background" in Opera, in combination with AutoScroll with the Logitech drivers. Very cool.

I have a hard time choosing. Mozilla or Opera. I love the grouping of several tabbed webpages under one bookmark in Mozilla, but I can' treally hold that against Opera (for not having that ability).

Right now, Opera is definitely on par with Mozilla in my opinion!

My Firebird also works this way, but I don't know if it is built-in or if it's from the All-in-One Gestures extension

My Netscape 7.1 (moz 1.4) does that too. Also you can right click then left click to go back a page. Or do the opposite. Also there are some click/scroll things you can do while holding down Ctrl, etc, but I can't remember them. It's got a lot of little handy things like that.

Pretty much all non-IE browsers have that feature.

I try them all.. and I ALWAYS go back to IE6.

I just tried the latest FireBird, and it's nice and all, but it loads pages noticeably slower than IE 6.

Even on slower machine I find Firebird to be worth it, IE is a POS.
