I'm bored...web browsers and other experiences

[hulkhaugen]

So what did i learn today

well, i had a software discussion in a norwegian forum, and i must say i got supprised by a test someone showed me nontroppo.org/timer/kestrel_tests/
seems like Firefox 2 is faster than 3, but a little known browser named Opera kicks the [censored] out of them all. trying it now myself, and it seems very nice and quick too...
the alpha version they're testing is actually winning all the tests..

we also discussed antivirus. i'm using avg. one in there said so much nice about f-secure. anoterone claimed nod32 to be the best...

also one thing i'm trying to find out; if you have a onboard graphic card, and hdmi output, will the output include audio?

wanna build a new htpc:
q6600 oc 3ghz
2 tb hdd
4 gb memory
a wireless guitar

that should get gz2 up and running, right?

do you know about the hdmi. and what did you learn tody?

Ive been using opera for about 2 months now. I love it. Hardcore customizable aswell.

i downloaded it after seeing this - ive been on firefox
i dont think im using it nearly to its full extent though - ive got some skins and some widgets that dont work

i managed to link my comcast email with it though - and thats nice

how do i make the little thing on the left with bookmarks, history, notes, etc. come up?

edit
i figured the panel thing out

i've tried opera. i honestly don't like it. it runs pretty much the same speed as firefox on my computer, and believe it or not, firefox usually runs quicker... [censored] the opera fan boys.

i downloaded opera, it wouldnt connect. it wont detect my wierd proxy settings

For me, I usually use Firefox. The tabbed browsing just wins me over, hence me not using IE(and I hate IE7 in every way possible)

I've tried Opera, and I just didn't like it... I don't think it's as customizeable as Firefox =\

Its liek 20 times more customizable. Just not as many addones that i know of.

well i'm using opera now, and i think it kick [censored]. didn't really like firefox...ever...

opera looks better, it's faster, and has som funky functions
