We've been using Opera for some years now, and are pretty happy with
it. We did use Firefox while at Tim's in San Jose last year, and
downloaded a copy to try, but it seemed lacking in features compared
with Opera so it hasn't gone forward from that initial trial. We have
it here at work and on the network at home.

One of the 'funnies' that I did notice with Opera is that they refuse
to have ActiveX as part of the browser for security reasons, so when
we got our Gmail invite the other evening, we had to revert to IE to
set up the account and use it. Even IE wouldn't work with Gmail until
we loaded the very latest updates from Microsnot, and that update is
February 2005, not an old one as we run the Windows updates
automatically.
