    Just wanted to let you guys know about the new version of Opera in case you are interested: http://www.opera.com/

    Fastest browser there is afaik and has some extremely awesome features like speed dial, mouse gestures, online bookmark sync, full email support (yeah, thats right, forget Outlook), RSS feed reader, notepad, IRC... I could go on for hours.

    I got the tip back in the day from a fellow admin and never looked back at IE or Fx. Firefox is a great browser but so slooooow.

    Anyway, give Opera a try, its free and you can import all your old bookmarks easily.

    All the comparisons I've seen shows that Chrome is faster than Opera.

    Thank you, I work in the IT department... :)

    I fully support this decision however. When it comes to IT security the question is not if you are paranoid but if you are paranoid enough!

    Iron is probably a very good alternative but it lacks some of the features I love so much in Opera. like speed dial, couldnt live without it anymore. There is a plugin for Fx but it is extremely slow. :/

    PS: So far I like Iron, it seems to be faster and it has something similar to speed dial (but only 8 thumbs, I have 20/24 in Opera :( )
