Opera might be good, but a minor glitch still eludes
me - it still does left justify when you code
"justified" using CSS2, as well as absolute/relative
positioning when used as page partitioning elements
(via the DIV tag). Mozilla however complies much more
to XHTML... though I hate to compare it with IE5.5's
better (aesthetically) implementation.
Another would be the lack of a plugin menu(?) like its
win9x version. opera also doesn't do java applets good
sometimes (though i would not go to a page with java
applet content as it seeps away lots of download
time).
however, speed means much (if not all)! i hope they
can improve opera... or make mozilla faster (if not
even faster or much much faster... or at least
comparable to opera's)
