    Opera has been free to use for a while now - older versions were adware. The announcement was given here http://operawatch.com/news/2005/09/flash-opera-goes-ad-free.html which as you can see was almost a year ago. No strings attached :)

    If you are atalking about AdAware, the personal SE edition is free to use for personal use. As I mentioned, download.com has a whole bunch of new spyware scanners. You can sort them by licence type - http://www.download.com/Adware-Spyware-Removal/3150-8022_4-0.html?tag=dir - the top has a licence sort option

    I can't believe that people still use Microslop's IE.. Give it up already..

    I had to format my computer every season because of it..

    Now that I switched to Firefox, I won't go back..

    Opera is not bad, they finally woke up from their sleep and provided it for free (without those annoying adds it use to come with).

    Peace,

    After web stats on talking only of the sites I have, around 80% of the users are using IE. So FireFox and Opera will have a hard time to get things right .... maybe microsoft will buy one of them and integrate it into Microsoft. :D

    This can work both ways - Imagine if Google buys out Opera :)
    Am sure Microsoft would be more than a bit worried at this prospect.

    Firework in essance is a great browser but when you get 50 or so tabs open it slugs like hell, opera does not. The ONLY thing opera could do with is Plugins!

    Among Firefox, Opera, IE, Avant, Maxthon, Mozilla and Netscape, I like all browsers except Netscape. It failed me.

    I'm an Opera user myself, though I must say I'm rather disappointed with v.9. Seems they're trying to accomodate ex FF users, and fit into the "norm" set by Firefox and IE by changing all their shortcuts (Ctrl-T to open new tab instead of Ctrl-N, Ctrl-D to set bookmarks instead of to Paste and Hit enter etc...).It makes sense tomake the change, but it desabilises old Opera users. :( But all in all it's extremely user-friendly, and they seem to have fixed a lot of the CSS problems it may have had.

    Your equation is wrong. Opera has been around for a long time before FF. As such it would be more appropriate to say FF=Opera.
    Even this is wrong as they are two different browsers. It is well noted that FF has copied many functions from Opera but they are separate broawsers.

    Btw, Opera does have plugins. It does not have extensions like FF, but it does have Widgets - http://widgets.opera.com/

    I have also seen some good javascript plugins which appear to work both in Opera and FF.

    Well, I was a real fan of MS IExplorer for years untill......... FireFox was launched by mozilla. I really believe that system resources are an asset and FireFox is very light on your memory. So you can use it along side other applications very easily.

    Comparing on features, FireFox was the first to introduce this remarkable "Tabbed Browsing" facility, which saves me a lot of time and confusion. Now I don't have to swap between a number of application windows for each and every task. It looked fine with IE but now its a lot more easier.
