I hate Firefox as well. I especially hate the wonderful way it manages
the URL input field, so that my typical startup process for it runs:
Click the firefox icon and wait far too long for the window to appear.
Start entering the URL of the site I want to test in the wretched thing.
Curse because it rendered the google startup page half way through,
causing half my URL to end up in the google search field and the other
half to be overwritten with the URL of the google page.
Thanks, Firefox, for that particular joy and wonder.
At least I can use Opera for my day to day browsing, which just works,
because they didn't try to develop their own crappy GUI toolkit with a
crappy implementation of half of Windows and half of Linux inside it.
I hate the fact that Opera isn't easy to get inside in a meaningful way,
though, so that I can't have it sanely ignore cookies unless I tell it
otherwise for a particular site.
I hate the way that it manages to have a crappy graphical skin interface
wrapped on top of Qt, so that it renders in a slightly broken fashion on
all platforms.
I really hate the way their newest release has *another* time and
resource wasting eye-candy device that allows me to put a stupid little
HTML and JavaScript based widget on my desktop.
Hate, hate, hate!
