I don't get why everyone is so crazy over Mozilla Firefox. I'm currently using it out of necessity because Internet Explorer is just plain sucky, and Opera currently hates me. I love Opera. I love everything about it except for one thing. It eats CPU. Every half-hour or so I gotta shut it down and re-start because it's eaten all my CPU and all my allocated internal memory whatever it's called. If not for that tiny teeny little detail Opera is awesome, it loads faster than anything else, doesn't re-load when you hit [back], has that nifty speed dial thing, and never gives me grief about having 20 tabs at once saved from one session to the next. So now I'm stuck with Mozilla. Which takes just as long to hit [back] as it does to load a new page, and has the most annoying habit of forgetting my settings and erasing my browser history, which is unforgivable, and the colours are ugly. I do like the new feature in Firefox3 when you type in just about anything in the address field and it gives you the most relevant matches from your browser history, be they beginning of URL, or mid, or from the page title itself. And it would have been even more awesome if *it could remember my browser history*. Bah. I'm so dependant on my tabs and my browser history it's ridiculous. I never bother with bookmarks because I'm used to Opera where I had speed dial, and then everything else important was in my tabs. Remembering tabs is everything. I had a bunch of LJ post from the last day I was gonna comment on, a few articles I was gonna re-read, and a fic I hadn't finished. Which wouldn't have been a big problem if I'd had my browser history from the last 24 hours, but I DON'T. Argh! Are there any good obscure browsers out there that anyone can recommend me?
In other news, I dug up Christina's scene from Million Dollar Baby, where she gets her ass whupped by Hilary Swank. I know Hilary Swank is the lead, and it's supposed to be about her winning, and so on and so forth, but I'm all Grrrr... Git yer hands off mah woman, Oscar Winner... Of course, then Lucia Rijker showed up and beat up on Hilary Swank, and I was pleasantly assuaged by memories of her and Helena having a fine old time in that cell of theirs... Yum.

I've never though about the [back] thing, but I don't think my FF reloads, as I can go back fine even if I've broken the internet connection. I've had no problems with using many tabs at once (and I've had many), nor with it remembering which ones until next start-up (though I've used that remember-my-tabs setting for quite a while, now). Have you activated the remember tabs setting? And no loss of browser history.
Hmm, now that I look at the browser history for FF3, it doesn't look the same as for FF2 (when it was neatly sorted into days). I'll look around and see if I can find anything out.
Re: colours - find yourself a nice theme! ;-)

Until you've tried Opera and hit the [back] thing you'll never realize the difference. It still backs, even when I've lost the connection, but it does take a significantly longer time. Not significantly longer, maybe, but noticably longer. In Opera, it's just *there*. Right there. Like flipping the pages of a book.
All the FF3 themes are ugly! They haven't made any nice themes for it yet. I've currently got the iFox smooth, or whatever, but it's plain and gray and boring. I had a really nice green-ish theme for FF2, and I've got a lovely red one for Opera, but all the FF3 ones are either black or ugly.

Agree on the themes, though... though I actually found a compatible version of (a version of) my old favourite: Brushed (Gradient Brushed Metal).

Oh, btw, ever played Wink? It's adorable.

Nope. But CUTE. Just spent a few minutes (half an hour? gah) on it. Now I gotta fins some lightning staff. Bah. And I died. Time for bed...

Have you played Samorost? It's short and really psychodelic. Very cute. The sequel is better (more thought-through and more tricky), but I totally recommend both! :-D

eta: just tried it, and indeed it was very cute. Little too complicated for my tastes. I like my problems in black and white with a straight-forward beginning and end. Pretty much exactly like Shift. Those are fun! My favourite is probably 2.

Samorost has a straight forward beginning and end! Amazingly so, actually. I'll take a look at Shift, though!

Strange with the dragon. I mean, it took a few tries for me to figure out how not to get really really killed by him before I had time to jump on his back, but if you're on the top platform on the pillars he can't reach you, and then you jump as close as his head as possible and hit A to pull.

I'm quite fond of this one at the moment: http://armorgames.com/play/505/sonny
Zombiefighting on a simple level, nice. And with a backstory.

Sonny is too much thinking and talking for me... I've been playing a bit of this lately: http://armorgames.com/play/2091/the-egg :P

Heh heh heh...
Also, we know Christina can totally kick Hilary Swank's arse. Hilary should totally thank Christina for making her look good (and not hurting her pretty face).
