Opera > SP2 IE > FF > *

Might I convince you? Opera Spell Check

IE w/SP2. I was using Firefox until I found I couldn't scroll w/my laptop scroller. It is probably an easy fix, but I don't see all the hype over FireFox. They both do the exact same thing, can someone elaborate?

I think the people that say otherwise simply have not tried Opera.

FF but hate how it uses 100MB RAM even with 1 tab/window.

I use both. when looking for pr0n, it's FF since I can surf w/o worry about popups that even the newest IE+googletoolbar can't block. Also, I can close all the tabs at once when someone's coming so I don't get caught.

IE for regular surfing since quite a bit of sites look wierd/off in FF.
