Yeah, I was a little perplexed as to how they consider it IMAP access when nothing synchronizes.

Opera has always been very good about having a fast startup time, and that’s something I love about the browser. When it comes to memory usage I have found that Firefox 3 and Opera 9.5 are nearly equal though.

As they say, “The taste is in the pudding”. I’ve tried Opera on several occasions, and always go back to Firefox and Flock. Opera is not able to render many of my websites properly.

Besides, Opera’s forums are so cold and unfriendly. As far as I’m concerned, Goodbye Opera!

I use both browsers. As for the "fair-usage" Firefox, well to me it seems pretty heavy for a browser (especially bearing in mind the fact that it is *just* a browser with no mail/irc client, etc.) @It’s Meee

I completely agree with all your points. I use both browsers. As for the “fair-usage” Firefox, well to me it seems pretty heavy for a browser (especially bearing in mind the fact that it is *just* a browser with no mail/irc client, etc.)

After I tried out Firefox 3 I was very surprised that Mozilla was able to create a fair-usage browser. I used Firefox every single minute... but then I tried out Opera again and after 2! minutes I completely deleted my Firefox directory. Never in my live I will go back to Firefox. Starting up Opera takes 2 seconds (3 GB RAM, VISTA), Firefox took more than 10 seconds. 10 web pages (in tabs) open = 50 MB Opera... Firefox 250! MB. And before I was using Gmail with Firefox... since I switched back to Opera I am using the internal mail application and I have to admit... NOTHING BEATS OPERA 9.5 :-o Goodbye Firefox!!!

However, as you pointed out Ryan, IMAP implementation does not work. Which is a pity because it means you cannot use it with Gmail. There is no synchronization whatsoever between Gmail's server and Simple Mail, which is what IMAP is all about! I have been using this extension for a few months now.

I did manage to get myself down to 1 POP3 email account this week instead of the 3 I use to have. But then I opened up a ymail account in addition to my Windows Live.
