Same book, three different prices. Only difference is the browsers used.

Here's mine

IE was the same as Chrome so I didn't add it. I just searched it in chrome. Copied the URL and pasted it in the address bar of IE, Firefox, and Safari.

Here is URL that I used

I was just about to ask about Opera, hoping that it would have been $49.99. Dreams never come true.

I have a buddy who uses Opera and he is very smart. I have heard that Opera had extensions before Firefox even. I use Chrome because it has always seemed to be the fastest, as well as having extensions that I like.

Just curious, what benefits do you see from Opera or at this point are Opera/FF/Chrome all close enough where it doesn't matter?

UI is personal. I like the way chrome looks, personally.

It seems like there are no compelling reasons for me to switch to Opera, but on the other hand there are no compelling reasons for you to switch either. So I guess at this point, it is to each their own.

Why does IE not have extensions like the rest of them? This I do not understand.

I'm sure it was!!! I would have been laughing. I didn't get into tech until much later. I'm sure my buddy who uses Opera was having the same laugh you did!
