Try the back and forward buttons... notice how fast you can go forward and backwards through webpages?

Also, in Opera under Preferences > Advanced > Browsing change "Loading" setting to "Redraw instantly" for that really speeding feeling, or to some other setting depending on what the processor can handle.

Ah, and one more thing, (don't take this personally please! - I'm not trying to start a flame war here!) Opera is more secure than what Firefox is according to Secunia. But, that is a relative short term perspective of course -- Firefox is open source, meaning that you can still check out the code for anything suspicious.

I just got it, so I would think you can still get it too!

Ditto. Downloaded it minutes ago and there was no problem.

I tried that setting, unfortunately it didn't render any images. PPCT usually is slow since it (apparently) first loads all the flashing and blinking ads before the content .

I have one thing to say to that, Themes and Extensions.
Look here and you WILL find a theme/extension for all of those points.
Also I can run Firefox off my pendrive (see here), meaning I can have the browser as I like and home and at school/work.
Finally please see this post.

Thanks

The site now says they're giving it away as long as the party lasts. Guess it lasted past midnight

That's actually been improved with Deer Park (the code name for the next version of Firefox) - going back and forward is lightning fast in Deer Park.
