i just tried Opera on a whim. very impressive! it does half of what my firefox setup does, but without a mountain of plugins. i love how customizable it all is.

love the integrated email capabilities, works flawlessly with multiple gmail accounts.

embedded youtube vids work fine for me...

You face!

Customizing my Opera is something I can dig very deep into, and is an activity that is ironically taking most of my time. Just so damn endless.

I sometimes have problems with Youtube in Firefox where if I watch a vid that I arrive at through a link, attempting to watch another vid on the same page causes a "save as" dialogue to pop up instead of going to the page where the video is. I haven't really messed with trying to figure it out... but needless to say, it's annoying as hell.

i've used opera, and it was my favorite for quite awhile. however, it was just slightly slow and seemed bogged down sometimes. I also had trouble with some websites playing, which is when i switched to firefox. However, our computer slowed down majorly for whatever reason. So i got in to google chrome, as its the lightest of the three in terms of memory (i think) and is a good quick browser. now i've got a core i3 with 4 gb ddr3 ram and this thing is blazing. but i still stick with chrome

Firefox works great for me.
