If you're too much of a fag to use firefox, or you just can't get it to work you can download opera instead.

Review: New Opera browser innovates but fails at basics
http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/computing/20050421-1044-techtest-operabrowser.html
But Firefox handles all the basics well. For free. And on the Mac.

> And on the Mac

It's a slow piece of crap unless you get the G3/G4/G5 optimised builds, which are still very buggy in parts.

How does Opera behave on the Mac?

Gah. That article (>>4) is flamebait. Two "examples" he presents as broken work just fine for me. I really have to wonder about the rest.

Not that Opera isn't without issues. Something WAHa is working on doesn't operate on Opera because of the broken xmlhttp implementation.

Which examples?

Hotmail (spam dump) and Expedia.

The only complaint I give credence to is in regards to an ad blocking a website, since it sometimes happens on Spiegel Online. However, that problem can be fixed with a single click.

"XSL and XSLT

Opera does not support XSL formatting objects, and neither does it natively support XSLT transformations. XML documents transformed server side will be parsed and displayed by Opera just like any other XML document."

Gah!
