What's the big deal with Firefox?

Opera is clearly the better browser.

Yes,

Opera is a lot better. Shame you have to pay for it, though.

It's possible to replace the banner with your own, too

If you block Opera's ad-servers in your proxy or hosts file, and replace banner.png (I think) somewhere in the Opera directory, it will proudly display your own banner instead.

You mean...

like Photoshop?

(nugchuts, Sun 6 Feb 2005, 20:36, archived)

Yes,

but Photoshop outstrips any free alternative.
Bleh, IE works for me. As long as it's XPSP2 IE, all is good.

But the Gimp

I can allow Firefox - it's buggy but not that shit.

i use

GIMP and it's great

Sadly,

I've never managed to have the Gimp run for more than 5 minutes without falling over. So I base my opinion on that...

Me, too

and it's great. But only on Linux. The Windows version is not as good. Photoshop just confuses me. Doesn't work like the Gimp, you see.

(nugchuts, Sun 6 Feb 2005, 20:55, archived)

I use GIMP

on win xp.
Latest one works well - lets me do lots of animashes anyhoo
