I gots me some Firebird, and all of the things I didn't like about it in the past seem to have been fixed. Oddly enough, it doesn't suffer from the odd font re-sizing disease that IE seems to have. I can now view all websites at a reasonable text size! (Unless, of course, they're built with a stupid text size, which no browser can cure...LYNX maybe, but I don't remember.)

I keep getting told I should try Firebird ... but I've gotten really comfy with Opera ... maybe one of these days.

I liked Opera, aside from the fact that so much of your screen real estate is taken up by the browser itself - Firebird's entire navigational and functional systems are contained in a one-inch strip at the top of the screen. Being the screenspace whore that I am, I find this terribly appealing.

There is even a Text Zoom extension that you could load so that even stupid text sizes can be dealt with. (5% to 2000% zoom on command.)
