goodness me. i know they gave away codes for free to celebrate their birthday recently but i didn't expect that.

I'm still looking forward to Firefox 1.5 but I'm certainly going to give Opera a spin.

At the moment I've been using IE7 for the sake of it - it's *VERY* odd what with having the menubar bellow the tabs and only having two buttons where buttons normally go.

I've given Opera 7 a spin.

In it's favour, it loads far faster than Firefox does, it also loads faster than IE6 does. I like the progress bar. I dare say it's more secure than Internet Explorer but as we all know that isn't actually all that difficult.

Against it though, the default skin is ugly, it looks bare with a big gap where the ad banner used to be, and the engine has a peculiar tendency for some reason to render everything in a text size 5% smaller than it does in IE6 and Firefox if using proportional text sizes.
