I highly dislike the tabs!!!!!! I think it's crap crap crap and wish IE7 didn't have them.

i'm pretty sure you can change it as with firefox and opera so that when you click on links it opens new windows instead of tabs

probably somewhere in preferences

i personally don't care which i use.
firefox and ie to me is like the evo vs. sti, amd vs intel, nvidia vs ati and nikon vs canon. they all have their pro's and con's.

opera, is the future of web browsing.......fastest browser out there, and have enhanced voice activation system, has embedded torrent client, have download manager etc etc

and security wise it is the best i have seen so far, no pop ups what so ever you get to control everything, java scripts you want to run cookies etc...

i start using it like a month ago and i will never go back to either firefox, or EI

try it out, but you have to play around with the tools and preferences…to make it all perfect.

Have fun

i switched from IE to mozilla and i'd never go back... too many customizational options, IE can't compete... given i haven't fully worked with IE7 yet...

but man just things like the foxy-tunes app lets me control my music from the browser window etc... tons of advantages

opera doesnt have that app, but man it has some really cool features, you can basically talk to the browser and it talks back, read you stuff, and do what you tell it to do etc etc

prety nifty


like you predefine some of the stuff for voice, so now if i say url google, it takes me to google.......

and if i highlight something and say read it will read it for me lol

you can say , scroll up or down, page up , page down, back, forward etc etc way too many commands

there are 3 options, you press a talk key and hold it while you talk......or press once and let go that will activate the talk, or no key and then its always on.

i have it on press key once, and then just talk and then press again to d-activate.

and there is also a thing called "wand" it saves your password for the sites w/e sites you want, and all you have to say in password, and it logs you in on those sites haha
