I read somewhere that google chrome uses major parts of opera's basic platfrom, so it is very similar. How true this is i don't know as i have never tried opera, i just use chrome mainly.
It was a well known bug with Firefox and the ati3duag.dll. Frankly, I don't notice speed in loading sites.. my internet isn't 2348343TB a second, so perhaps it's just me not noticing. But I click a link and away I goes..
Yeah I don't dispute the bug but I was just saying that because I have never had that issue or any other problems with firefox, and since it is quite noticeably quicker, for me anyway, than IE, I think I will stick by it for now.
