I completely agree with you Omega about people needing to use open standards. We could easily force browsers to use established, open, and fair standards, but so many program specifically for browsers. Most who do, that I've come across, do it to support a browser, but it's only supporting their monopolistic practices which isn't good for the end-user. Opera is easily the best coded browser, it supports more functionality than Firefox (without adding problems that is), and faster, and is far more secure and reliable that IE. What I don't like about Opera is that they leave out many areas of W3 which I feel should be standard in any browser. That's why pages sometimes function or look weird in Opera. I assume that to be because they don't have the programming resources that open development (FF) and big business (IE) have. Almost forgot, Opera has crappy betas, too (but then again so does IE).
BTW, Java sucks.
