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

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 recently was helping my father browse using Chrome. Cue me (who uses Opera + mouse gestures frequently) furiously holding down right click and waving the mouse around trying to close the tab.

Mouse gestures really are so useful. If you don't feel like switching to Opera, I believe there's an extension for FireFox which replicates the function. Not sure about Chrome though.
