I think so too. IE7 is so unstable. Although FF crash once a week or so it has the restore feature which brings back the pages you were on before the crash.
As for Opera I used it 5 years ago when y'all knew nothing about tabs but have no idea if it's better than FF.

What version and how many plugins do you have ?!

Some crashes are the fault of other programs (typically Yahoo Mesanger with
some of tis experimental dlls).

The latest version is light years ahead of the crap was 5/6 years ago and it's free too.
Some say it's better then FF, and in some ways it is ... BUT, and here comes a big BUT
- several sites aren't Opera friendly so expect renderimg issues,
and
- whatever Opera gives you out of the box (and it gives you plenty) you won't be able to extend/inhance/customize it like FF thru addons.

Clearly IE. The latest IE with Wondows Vista is a great match imo. I don't like all this third party crap, same with cars.

Firefox.

IE7 on XP sucks, much like IE6 sucked, but it's veyr unstable in XP iteration
i've migrated my data to a vista laptop, and i find the IE7 useage on vista to be superior to firefox, reliavility is still tops, none crashed, but IE7 is so much better integrated into the vista look and feel

That makes it the greatest browser IMO.

It will equall almost everything Opera has to offer (minus mail, actual zoom and voice) and then surpass it.

Such as:
- AIOS (= sidebar, even has Opera behavour)
- Add Bookmark Here
- ImgLikeOpera
- Image Zoom (not as good tough)
- Mouse Gestures

(you can make your own)
- Rewind/Fast Forward Buttons
- Stop-or-Reload Button
- ScrapBook
- Secure Login (=Wand)
- Past and Go 2
- User Agent Switcher
- Wizz RSS News Reader
- Web Tab Mix (customise tabbar to your heart's delight)

And ofcourse than comes the AdBlock, NoScript and FlashBlock brigade.

But I like Opera too.
Because of Mozilla, Opera is now free and has widgets, and "opera:config" and is more easy to use.
Also Opera camed with the tabs, and many, many other features now available on FF and IE.

But what I know of, I have no use for any of that.

I thought the same until I tried Firefox/Opera... I never looked back.
