It has crash recovery (I hear the latest version also has a recovery function for windows accidentally closed by the user). My secondary is Mozilla. It seems a lot slower than Opera, and doesn't render some things as well. And mine (1.3-- not the latest version) crashes more often (without benefit of the recovery). I use IE as a last resort. Not because Opera and Mozilla are better than IE-- and they are!-- but because I really can't stand Microsoft. I use Opera primarily.

I agree that full Mozilla is huge and slow, but Firebird is the Gecko layout engine (used by Mozilla, very fast, very standards-compliant) without all the slow crap that Mozilla piles on top (email, news, chat, etc.). At first it looks really featureless, but there are tons of extensions you can add back on to get the functionality <em>you</em> want. It's the browser, man!

I'm following MT's instructions but I'm not doing it right. :( Why won't my darn styles stick? I need to talk to you online! :) Can't get styles to stick.
