I never get the argument about 'bloatware' when it comes to Opera. Yes, there are options not that not everyone needs, but then again, most of the time they do not get loaded / appear in the menu when not used. Also take a look at the size of the installers: Opera 9.64/Windows: Classic Installer, English (US) 4.8 MB English (US) 5.4 MB International 7.2 MB Opera 9.64/FreeBSD 7.x (Static) 7.0 MB Win32 Binaries: midori Win32 v0.1.8 12.9 MB Firefox English (British) 3.5.1 win32 7.6MB Firefox English (British) 3.5.1 linux 9.3MB And there are a lot of features in Opera, for which you will need to download extra extensions in Firefox. > But maybe that's only "my problem" (due to my ancient computer > and OS). For me, Opera works much better on older hardware than Firefox. >Try Opera. Maybe it works for you. Anyway, in the end everyone should use what he likes best. :) Andreas -- GnuPG key : 0x2A573565 | http://www.gnupg.org/howtos/de/ Fingerprint: 925D 2089 0BF9 8DE5 9166 33BB F0FD CD37 2A57 3565 --Signature=_Fri__31_Jul_2009_17_04_22_+0200_XwckP5iUeD3dgZp1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.12 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkpzB/kACgkQ8P3NNypXNWWAEwCgrVMTI/rKzbyS/7Nu3OBGTQfX KRgAoIBs90Bad1oubCRA0bm/e8deHewq =m2YG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature=_Fri__31_Jul_2009_17_04_22_+0200_XwckP5iUeD3dgZp1--
