Opera or Mozilla for popup and window-resizing websites?

[galt]

Getting REALLY tired of the popups and the resized windows when surfing. I tried Mozilla and it is beautiful at blocking all that crap and keeping the size of the windows constant. I haven't tried Opera yet though. Does it have all the features of Mozilla? I heard it was faster too, and if it has the same featureset and is faster, I might as well buy that. Anybody have any opinions?

Opera's got a block popups feature, but it blocks all popups instead of just unrequested ones. However it's easy to change the setting, just hit F12. Good stuff though. I'd switch to either Mozilla or Opera and get off that IE horse.

Yeah, I've really had it with explorer and its horrible features. I tried mozilla for a couple days, and love its features. But it seemed slightly slow. If opera does all that mozilla does and faster, then I'll get that. Else its mozilla. Either way, IE will be gone soon.

Yeah Opera is definetely faster than Mozilla. I use Opera for reading the boards, and Mozilla for mostly everything else. The mouse gestures are good in Opera, but could use some work. Tabbed browsing is also great in Mozilla.

Mozilla has plugins for gestures and even radial menus (Neverwinter Nights style). Check out Mozdev.org.

Opera is better in that its rendering engine is faster than either IE or Mozilla. It also takes up much less space in terms of hard drive space and memory. Useful if you are using an older machine.
Mozilla though seems to be able to render more pages out there correctly.
Of course, IE renders pretty much everything since its the browser everyone writes for. But you have to use add-ons to block the pop-ups and everything.
