Firefox goodness makes unexpected badness

[Tomas]

I guess I'll go with IE , but only because I'm tired of waiting forever for things to load....

But why not try out opera then? Opera is pretty much the fastest and most lightwight browser there is for windows.. It is fairly stable, has popup blocking and tabbed browsing aswell

You mean why aren’t you using an oversized bag of human feces?

... actually make that a bag with advertisements on the side.

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.

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.

I apologize for sounding a bit rude then :-)

I am personally a big mozilla fan myself, and it is the browser i use most of the time, but i got a bit pissed when opera was called oversized, as it is the smallest and fastest browser i have seen for windows.
