I still prefer the Mozilla suite. But that's old Windows days: I always
used Netscape Communicator and then Mozilla under Windows. But I love
the way FF handles rpms in Fedora.
For this list I use TB, but for my private mails I still use Mozilla. I
used evolution with FC2, but now I just use TB/Mozilla. Old habits don't
change easily.
I have Opera on this machine and have it licenced (I like those people
from Norway). It integrates beutifully and uses all the Mozilla plugins
(Java, Flash et al) without having to do anything. And Mozilla/TB are
very restricted here, Opera not so, therfore I use Opera for sites where
FF or Mozilla cannot handle JavaScript properly.
Also I found out that downloading the Mercedes Benz Mixtapes (fine, free
music) throug a flash menue is awkward in FF/Mozilla and runs perfectly
in Opera.
Otherwise: I just do not find a solution how to handle fonts properly
with Opera - they are far too small by default, and I miss something
like adblock. So it is not my default browser. But I will continue to
support them (one of the few CS projects I really like).
