The only thing I'm not enjoying about Chrome right now is the fact that half of the threads on here that I haven't read yet aren't showing up as unread :mad:
In case big corporations don't have enough of your personal information?
LOL, The only pattern, info and surf history they'll get from me is totse, anime and some porn links. The other shady stuff is run from torbrowser located inside a truecrypt volume mounted from a flashdrive. Talk about paranoia :- P
Oh yeah, NOW I remember why I switched from Chrome in the first place... Oh well. Like you say, all they're going to see is TOTSE, Facebook and a few other sites.
I switched to Opera about a month ago, was using Firefox for a couple years before that. Anything I use addons for on Firefox is a standard function in Opera, it's faster and it won't crash with shock sites etc.
The only thing I hate about it is having to switch to an "organise bookmarks" tab to organise my bookmarks. I want the in-menu drag-and-drop functionality of Firefox bookmarks dammnit!

So they have noscript, adblockplus, flashblock, IDM, and web of trust standard?

I'm not saying it has every addon you're using, it has every addon I was using.
Noscript: yes, you can set the options to not execute any scripts, and when you're on a site you can right-click to set site-specific preferences to allow (or deny) scripts (same with popups, cookies etc.)
adblockplus: popups are blocked by default, ads not, but you can right-click and choose which ads to block, and it will remember the URL's of the ads, so after a week of surfing all the annoying ads are blocked. That's good enough for me, sometimes ads do have interesting things, especially on technical forums.
Flashblock: never used this myself, googled it, it's not a standard function, but it's available both as an addon and as a little hack.
Internet download manager: never used that one so I don't know what exactly it does. I always used downthemall, and that functionality is in Opera. Don't know if it's the same.
Web of trust: no, only a less-functional WOT bookmarklet is available for opera.
I'm not saying it's the perfect browser for you, but it's what I currently use and I like it. If you wanna try it out, type the function you're missing in google with "opera" added and it will tell you how to do it in opera generally.
I'm trying to figure out now why drag-and-dropping doesn't work in my bookmarks menu, from what I read it should work ...
I know FF isn't perfect, but I love my addons, and if they'd just make them for Opera I'd be way more likely to use it. I'm so used to WOT and noscript that it's just weird browsing without them.
Opera 10.6. Getting sick and fucking tired of the browser telling me to upgrade every 3 days. Great browser though, it was difficult at first but I don't see any reason or any chance of using any other browser but IE when necessary. Chrome is just too beta like to me with the most retarded version naming scheme I've seen in 10 years while FireFox went from top of its game in 2.0 to complete shit by 3.5.
If Safari wouldn't be so buggy on Windows I'd have kept using it instead of Opera TBH its not that bad.

Yeah, Chrome definitely helps to load this place better whilst that stupid JS file is loading in the background.
Are you using Chrome as well?

Everything else is good and its like 5x faster than the FF I have on my computer

The beta is pretty awesome. I didn't enjoy all the glitches that happened, but eh - its Beta!
Doesn't help. Still can't drag-and-drop in the menu. In the panel works fine though.
