Now now don't be harsh on Opera, there's a new version now and depending on how long ago it was since you tried it it no longer has built in advertising.

It's also worth noting that EVERY "special feature" of Firefox is DIRECTLY ripped off from Opera who pioneered all of them and generally do them better anyway.

All that aside you never have to worry about incompatibility since Opera has the option to identify itself as both Firefox and IE in it's headers so the server will think you have the "right" browser and let you load the page..no need for a 3rd party plugin.

Then you have security..IE unless heavilly tweaked has as many backdoors as buckingham palace (that's a lot by the way) there are also over 300 driveby trojans aimed specifically at Firefox, whereas for Opera the biggest weakness comes from external sources such as flashplayer or quicktime, Opera itself is virtually bulletproof...and loads the voidserver page quickly without errors :D

So in my opinion using a lovely mathematical symbol Opera>Firefox>IE

Since that problem I have switched browsers. I know use Google Chrome
I have found it is VERY fast, much faster than any other browser. It also has no problem at all with the Z3 theme. I would recommend it.

I use Mozilla FF as default browser,with Google, and it's work fine.But, when game runs badly, i noticed site was moving slowly 2. I don't know if they can influence eachother!
 My little anoyng problem with the Forum when using FF, is every message i want to Submit, first i must Prewiew, or it apears  as invalide, ghange the format.(normally, without using nasty words)
If i prewiew it, i can submit my message-But this is not a big problem.
c ya!

Maybe it is some internet or PC problem?

Rottweiler you are using FF3 on the Z3 skin? Does it scroll smoothly and does it load fast? You know when I used FF3 the forum pages took ages to load and the scrolling was very slow. I used the Z3 theme then. You don't have that?
