The Opera, the Opera, we all like the Opera!

Yeah, I love Opera too. I am stunned how 7.50beta can be even faster. I tried Mozilla (which is great too) for a while and went back to Opera after about a day because of all the little considerations that Opera has in the interaction side of things.

For example, in Opera closing a tab returns you to the PARENT tab, in Mozilla (version I tried) you go to the next tab TO THE LEFT on the bar meaning you have to navigate and select the parent one (EVERY time). In Opera you can open in same window, open in new window etc. all from a right-click, and mouse gestures are great, you can navigate and hardly ever move the mouse. Mozilla was nice but too many two or three click actions, or right-across-page navigations that were faster in Opera.

Actually, this is incorrect, at least for the newer versions of Firefox. If you close a tab, you go to the tab immediately RIGHT of the one you closed. (in other words, in most cases, you will advance to the next tab you opened.) If there are no tabs on the right, you'll move one to the left. (which will usually be the parent tab.)

Yeah, you're correct, I still find it a PITA though as I usually have multiple tabs open, meaning there are some in between a page with a link on it and the one that the link generates.

I haven't tried FireFox, I'll certainly give it a look when it gets to 1.0 if not before.

If you haven't used Opera since 6.nn or similar I'd certainly give 7.23 or the 7.50beta a look though.

Mozilla/Firefox/Opera - all better than IE (AKA "Aieeeee!!" as in "Aieeeee!! More spyware!")
