I've been doing online Christmas shopping today along with general browsing. I've been
to dozens of sites today and only one has given me grief, buy.com. Either web authors
are writing
perfect HTML these days, or Opera does have some forgiveness. Maybe not as much as
Mozilla, but is it worth to bog down Mozilla? Install Opera 5, go browsing, read some
newsgroups, read
some e-mail, etc. Do the same with Mozilla. Doesn't using Opera feel like riding a
Porche and Mozilla a Yugo going up hill?
