    Yeah, uh. I actually switched back to FF.

    Why? Because the way Opera handles direct downloads is....Annoying.

    Not really, I have no problems at all with how Opera handles direct downloads, it's very similar to Fire Fox as well in that regard. Maybe your just not use to how the interface is setup.

    Since the spambot legion bumped this anyway, I might as well continue this thread.

    How about the new Opera 10 with Opera Unite? It's becoming quite awesome, I've heard. Using Opera Mini myself. Amazing how fast it is. Posting this from my phone. All my posts here, actually. Anybody else ever tried Mini or Opera Mobile? Mini is free, you know.

    And now I'm in Chrome, due to Opera not liking my Facebook (every time I tried to access my friend list, it would crash. Every time).

    Figured I'd try it. There's a lot I don't like about it, but I can't argue against it's greatest asset. It's fast. I mean internet-speeding-ticket-license-revoked fast. It's ugly, no extensions, widgets or addons, but by God, it's fast.

    Ugly?! I love how simple it is! Plus you can change your theme anyway. Just open a new page and hit the corner furling up.

    Seriously though. You're right. Fastest browser I have ever used ever. Google makes me wet with everything they come out with.

    Yes, ugly. There's colors. That's it. Yay, grey. I'm using the Tiesto one. Tiesto is a douche***. But his Chrome theme is acceptable.

    And creepy. Hella creepy. I need Android though. Mmmm... Éclair.

    Oh crap. Foxy is becoming the new Internet Exploder. It's like every successful store eventually turning into a Wall Mart. >_>

    On FF and IE you can scroll either by mousewheel or after pressing the mousewheel button it goes into scrolling mode - the latter was lacking in chrome last I checked

    Yeah it definitely works fine... I just tested as I wrote this post... I'm talking about the click-scrolling by the way...
