480115 2006-08-22 21:19:00 I like Opera because it still opens the same tabs the next time it opens. Don't know if any other browsers do this. lightfoot (39)
480116 2006-08-22 21:24:00 IE 7 beta 3 is ten times better than Firefox. :2cents: JJJJJ (528)

Ah, oops they talk about Mac OS, rather than Mac OS X and I was thinking of Mac OS classic.

480121 2006-08-23 03:28:00 Firefox for me. Have tried Opera9.. thought the torrent client was hopeless and minimal at best. Opera seems to open quicker than Firefox, but Firefox has more options (via the extensions) to build into it (not set like Opera's are). If Opera had plugins and extensions like Firefox, I would change in a minute Myth (110)

Firefox can do this with the "SessionSaver" extension :)

Opera is hugely customisable and on the Opera forums there is information on customising Opera to behave like a lot of Firefox's extensions and plugins. It is easily done and you don't have to keep updating them with every upgrade, unlike with Firefox. Opera can also do many things natively that you need extensions and plugins with Firefox to do and it's just a matter of discovering these features.

You won't get Adblock though but using a Hosts file or Proximitron (sp?) gets around that one.
