Firefox goodness makes unexpected badness

there is absolutely NO reason for anyone to use IE - which is the only real bag of feces.

Um, maybe because they want to?  Which is reason enough.  I use IE on my both my XP and Linux machines because it's fast, compatible, and works with everything I throw at it.  You can't say the same thing about Opera.  As for trojans or viruses, I've never gotten one on either system.

I never notice these ads which seem to interupt your life and i've been using Opera for the last year and a half.

You advocate the product so vigorously yet you don't spend the ~$40 to buy a real copy and support the company.  Sounds a little hypocritical to me...

How the he*l can you call 3.3MB oversized? What other browser is smaller than that?

It's actually 3.4MB.  And, if you don't have Java installed, it's a whopping 15.9MB.  Firefox is much smaller.  Heck, even IE is only 11.8MB.

listen, kid, I don't have any money to spend on ANYTHING. and I don't HAVE to buy opera. if I had a regular income I would consider it because it it one of the few windows -related products that is actually not a disapointment.

when you pay my rent, you can talk. until then, shut the F up.

Sorry Mom.  Don't take the fact that you can't afford a $40 piece of software out on me.

But since when did firefox come with java?? to get java with firefox, you have to download the sun java package, which is way bigger... IE is infact much bigger than 15megs...

Firefox is nearly twice as big, comes without java and opera has more features like built in irc client aswell...

I really like firefox myself, but what you claim is just bull..

Bull?  Not intentional, but maybe I'm misunderstanding.  I went to Opera's download page and read the FAQ.  It made it sound like Java was required.  If that's not the case then I am wrong.

As for the IE size.  This is the total size of the source distribution I just downloaded for my Windows XP. Sure, there are required files in the OS that are not included in this size, and it doesn't include features like an IRC client.  I'll check how big my install on Wine is at home.  But it definately wasn't that much larger.

Very mature.  And to think, I'm supposed to be the adolescent here.
