How do you get that?

A man with taste and wisdom. You lot could leana lot from this man ;)

And yeh it freaked me for a second or 2 but now i think "even better!!" And if you download the Opera Turbo skin, man its just perfect for the forum colur scheme.
And you can now mess about with the speed dial page to have more or less speed dials. Opera kicks ass!!

Use Chrome on the laptop, IE8/FF on the PC

Ooh no, it looks nice but the menu stuff is white on grey, unreadable!

Plus a background image. :)
I keep trying Chrome/ff/ie but keep coming back to Opera, nothing is so fast, so stable and allows so many tabs. Plus if heaven forbid it does crash everything is restored just as it was. Or if you accidentally close a tab, bing, there is the 'trash can' to restore it along with all your history, yes FF does it now but who do you think they stole it from! :) Plus Opera does the page *exactly* as it was when you closed it rather than reloads it.

Im with FireFox, I used to use Internet Exploiter but found it kept crashing when running JS (on more than one system).

Im seriously tempted to try the new Opera, people keep extolling the virtues of the new version to me.

ps, I will only ever swap to another web browser if I can get an addblocker as good as adblock plus for firefox.

Firefox for me, despite our company still insisting on IE6. I had to get a dispensation for its install and prove to them why I want the add ons (firebug is great).

However, I even still occasionally use lynx. And pray tell what is wrong with using a wget and actually looking at the html instead of the rendering.

Same as flymo here, I tend to use all of them depending on what I'm doing (won't use Chrome for internet banking etc) but I have really been impressed with the new version of Opera.

IE has some good tools for developers too, IE Developer Toolbar spings to mind.
