I just found out how it is possible to download "skins" and make opera completely customisable!!! I have found how to change the buttons into different pictures as well.
As somebody on a Firefox forum posted once, it doesn't matter WHAT alternative browser you use. All alternative browsers are in the common fight in order to get people away from Internet Explorer. We shouldn't waste time fighting against each other, we're all just different races in it together. That'd be like attacking random different countries on your side just because they're different. Is "browserism" a word?
My personal favorite is Firefox, though I have been told that Opera and Safari are both good. As long as its not Internet Explorer it seems to be all good LOL
After I got opera I uninstalled IE. Then it came up with a warning: "this may stop other programs from working..." I pressed continue. All my programs still worked but everytime I turned on my computer it tried to re-install IE. In the end I gave up and re-installed it and disabled access to it instead. But now it has set itself to the default browser and won't let me set Opera as default browser again. IE is so annoying. I would never choose it unless all the others were really rubbish.
Firefox is the way to go it's so far one of the very few browsers out there that 1)still load fast 2)Handle CSS well 3)Have optional gadgets. I have 3 gadgets on mine and it loads three times faster than IE7 and just as fast as Opera.
Opera is best in my opinion. I am using it since 4 years. Very fast among other webbrowsers. And very reliable. You can find many features like speed dial etc...which you can't find in any other. My next choice is firefox
