Firefox Market Share Tops 20% Comments

I still prefer Opera personally - internet and email in one program is rather useful, as is the inability to open annoying pop-up windows!

That's great news, couldn't agree more: anything but IE. I think Firefox is the best when it comes to customization, but Opera is faster and has a smaller memory footprint (making for better overall system performance, especially when used over a longer time period).

i'd go as far to say the firefox memory problems are still very much there in FF3. example, on my laptop after browsing and downloading files i find using the thing just plain slow

Along with the crashing, compared to Google Chrome, it's not very fast. Unless you like customisations, there's no reason to use Firefox 3 over IE. I find them nearly just as fast as each other. Chrome leaves both eating dust.

Another big Opera fan, what can put a few off about Opera is its default starting style, but you really have got to try it, especially since its free. I've used Opera for over 6 years now and wouldn't turn back. It really has so many advantages over any other browser. Web browsing, irc client, torrent client, download manager, email client to name just a few things.

@Gordon, its not the same thing. ;)

Only when you've experienced the exceptional integration
of technologies accomplished in opera can you appreciate its power.

Chrome is faster but it also crashes if you open tabs with too much gusto.

I like both.

Chrome is good and fast but it still isn't complete overall, for example I can organize my bookmarks the way I would like

I mean I can't organize my bookmarks in Chrome at the moment and it doesn't have RSS support

My parents wouldn't have found out about Firefox for themselves, but I installed it for them and they wouldn't go back to IE now that I helped them get used to it. People definitely need to push past the 'it's so different' obstacle which I think is the main problem hindering change.
