!pilF I've flipped browsers. A few weeks ago I tried the latest from AOL...er, Netscape and was pretty disgusted at how much AOL garbage got spewed all over my machine, not to mention that the browser is just shy of totally sucking.

IE reluctantly won me over a year or so ago. Not out of any respect for MS but mostly because it did what I wanted to do and I spent less time swearing at bugs or longing for another netscape update.

I was happy to hear that Opera is running on the Mac (Carbon no less) and not too badly for a beta. The windows version kicks IEbutt (once you register to turn off the ads) and has some really handy and interesting features.

The BEST feature, of course, is that Opera on both platforms sports a Google search box built right into the toolbar.
