Firefox Myths, check this out!

Andrew K, owner of a website with tips and tricks for WindowsXP has recently posted an interesting article about "Myths Regarding The Firefox Web Browser".

Personally, I loved the following parts:

:star: Fastest Web Browser
Myth - "Firefox is the Fastest Web Browser"
Reality - Opera (now 100% free) is the fastest Graphical Web Browser in Windows. - Source

:star: Tabbed Browsing
Myth - "Firefox was the first Web Browser to offer Tabbed Browsing"
Reality - Tabbed Browsing has been around a long time. Netcaptor offered Tab Browsing back in 1997. Opera developed it back in 1995 and added it in Opera 4 in 2000. Other Popular Browsers such as Avant Browser and Maxthon also had these features way before Firefox officially arrived in 2004. - Source

:star: Acid 2 Browser Test
Myth - "Firefox fully supports the most important W3C Standards"
(here he shows a screenshot of Firefox and Opera running the Acid2 test)
And adds this: Notes - Opera v9 offers the best Acid2 Browser Test Results in Windows

Go check it out and spread the word!!

That topic and all of its links are all full of Firefox fanboys.
Let's just face it, the guy who wrote the article just slapped the face of all those fanboys and now they can't stand it!

I find Opera to be faster and smoother scrolling than FireFox. I've had a couple of minor problems with Opera but all is well now.

Given that it was posted in the Third party software forum and the article is mainly about Firefox it is not a surprise, is it?.
