Firebird is cool

Since IE was having trouble with the vector library, I decided to try a diff browser -mozilla.  So I installed that and it was good.  Then I saw Firebird, and I installed that one.  WOW I love the themes and the tabs and it just feels much cleaner than IE.  I'm hooked.  I like the different managers, too.

The only weird thing is I can't insert smiley's or any other YABBC tags on this board after I've typed a message they just get placed at the end regardless of where the cursor is - so I either have to go back and enter them manually or insert them as I go.   Not a big deal but weird.

I've been using Opera for a long time cause IE sucks so bad.  A couple weeks ago I happened upon Firebird and immediately loved it.  I enjoyed all the Extensions you could get.  Like blocking ad's and stuff was cool.  Mouse gesture's are of course a requirement.  But I had it lock up my Win2000 machine at least twice aday to where I had to do a hard reset :(  So I went back to Opera.  I've heard lots of people complain about Opera but I can sware by it.  I've never had big problems and its SO fast.  I noticed the page loading was significantly faster than Firebird.  Firebird is a good browser though.  Maybe I'll use it when it gets farther down the line and more stable.

My Firebird has been acting up, so I decided to take Opera for a test drive.  I installed it, and when I first started to run it, it said something about advertising unless I wanted to pay for the browser.  I stopped there - I don't want to pay for a browser, and I sure don't need MORE adverts during my online time.  What gives?

Anyway, it gave me the motivation to reinstall Firebird, and it kept my settings and is working fine once again.  It's cool, though - Firebird is a lot faster than IE.  If Opera's even faster, then that's friggin' awesome.

Jakobud:
Hmmm... you should at least give Opera a try with the advertising option.  That used to really bother me but now I just don't really even notice it.  Its just a banner that sits in the upper left corner.

i tried firebird after reading a recommendation but it was too buggy for my tastes.
