Encore

Opera, the browser that many people have sworn about but no one wanted to pay for, is now completely free of charge. I'm trying it out right now to see how it compares to Firefox. Here's what I have so far:

Pros:
-Nice clean interface.
-Loads MUCH faster
-pretty much all the same features

Cons:
-Couple of interface and shortcut quirks that I think FF does better.
-Doesn't seem to load all images correctly

Still, I'll need to experiment more before I make any serious decision. The fact that it seems to load that much quicker is a big deal though: FF seems to crash and/or take forever to load up sometimes, and that's a pain when I'm trying to play a game and keep a browser window up at the same time.
