Probably a bit OT, but out of boredom I decided to give the newly
released Opera 9.51 a spin - and I am pleasantly surprised. It's even
way faster than FF3 and the font rendering is totally awesome.
As I am developing quite some web-based stuff at work their new
Dragonfly Debugger/Inspector is a good substitute for Firebug and the
myopera.com integration supplies the much needed bookmark
synchronisation between machines that Foxmarks handles on Firefox.
