"Screw Firefox."

I'm sick of it.

I cannot stand the way it uses so much of my CPU, and how it enjoys crashing every now and again.

And its habit of throwing a hissy-fit whenever a pdf is thrown at it.

Any other (non-IE) alternatives [preferably includes tabs] ?

Thenkew

Is Opera any good?

Yeh, give it a go. It's completely free now with no ads.

Been having a look around a couple of browser comparison pages... Some people have waaay too much time on their hands :P

But Opera's currently winning :)

Some FF issues can be resolved here - http://www.tweakfirefox.com/
Especially the PDF one.

My conclusion is that you HAVE to use all three. It's the only solution, plus it helps when one is temporarily stalling over some messed up page that you can switch over and browse with another.

The latest Netscape is a hybrid of IE and Firefox - it includes both rendering engines, so you can switch between them at will. Haven't had it crash yet.

Tried Opera.

Got bored of it, it's not mindblowing.

And has this wierd ability centre my mouse to the middle of the screen whenever I click my scroll-wheel.

Any other suggestions?
(I'm downloading the new Netscape as we speak)

Safari?

Or is that Mac-exclusive?

Also, Avant, MiniBrowser, and I once had to install Simple Browser for an assignment at college once, but I don't know where you can get it from.

Given that Opera is arguably the pinnacle of GUI software, what are you expecting?
