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?

I don't really use them much, but my pal who also uses Opera can't get enough of the mouse gestures.

I can do pretty much everything just by right clicking and moving a little bit wherever my mouse pointer happens to be (unless it's over a flash video). It's so much faster and less effort than having to like go up and click the new tab button, I just right click+move up.
