When it rains, there are multiple posts...

So, I go for weeks without posting, then I get all prolific-like. What's up with that? Anyway...

This one's about FireFox, the new kid on the browser block.

I've been a paying user of Opera for years. I wasn't going to look at FireFox because I paid for Opera. I've always been happy with Opera, its features and performance (usually) and it's certainly way more secure the Internet Explorer.

For some reason, I broke down yesterday and installed FireFox. Now, I suspect, Opera may fall by the way side.

Though Opera is faster than IE, FireFox is even faster than Opera -- and FireFox is free. It starts up faster and its page loads are snappier. Both support tab-based browsing, stop pop-ups, are skinnable (not that I care much about that), and are more secure than IE. But the quick response from FireFox is refreshing.

Recommended.
