Fact: Firefox is downloaded ~250,000 times every day.
Watch out for the Firefox downloads every minute (or day) in Spread Firefox website.
Firefox has mouse gentures using an extension, and there is a Reload Every extension.
It seems like Opera has planned this article if it identify itself as IE in default, although it doesnt support all IE features.
In Firefox you can add how many search keywords as you want while browsing.
Firefox is very customized and free, and there is a page rendering optimization trick in the mozilla website (and alot more tips & tricks).
And the BBCode extension is nice for forums, and Titlebar Tweaks extension is nice for customizing the browser title.
Well, at least Opera has tried to make us think it is better and more popular.

I wonder, who needs .asia domain? I cannot imagine, what would be useful for Microsoft.asia? Toyota.asia? Then let's register .europe (if .eu is too short). Or perhaps Microsoft.southamerica, Dell.australiaandnewzealand, Coca-Cola.africa... Sound funny? Then why not just use the global and country domains? Or perhaps it is time to drop the domains at all?
