I can't speak for the Windows version but there are some problems with
rendering web pages in the Linux version of Opera.  However, compared to
Firebird, Opera is smaller and faster.  Also I only took Firebird out for
one cruise around the block so I am not positive that it has problems with
certain sites, but the ones I did visit are the ones I most commonly visit
and Firebird was of a noticable higher quality in rendering those
particular sites.  So I suppose it comes down to which you prefer, quality
or speed/size.  Myself I am sticking with links but that is because I live
on the console commandline.  Until those browsers can live in this
enviroment they will never be competitive here.  But then again I am only
one user.  I was just curious after all the talk here so had to check it
out for myself.  I am no longer curious.

Life is good,
Maurice
