I have both those things mentioned as those needed for a decent browsing experience: Opera Mini 4, and an unlimited (well, fair use) data plan from 3 for £5 for a month.
This way I get a half decent browsing experience, and save a few hundred while I'm at it. I know which I'd prefer...
Another case of the their illiteracy. Why is it that no one knows these things? It's like it's and its. Little lesson...
- There = positional ("it's over there")
- Their = possesive ("that's their ball")
- They're = they are ("they're coming tomorrow")
There, I said it.

From the linked IEBlog post:
"...you can get it now from the Internet Explorer home page on Microsoft.com, get a customized version from a third-party site..."
Hehe, who knows - maybe someone will make a customised version that renders pages the way they're meant to be. *chuckles inwardly*
For once Microsoft actually came up with a useful update in their Office short of a fancy new colour scheme - the new Ribbon thing. I tried the MS Office 2007 beta and found it really intuitive, but wouldn't pay the ridiculous amounts of money they charge for it. I think they even decided not to patent it so that others can use the idea. Now I'm no fan of Microsoft (although we've been pushed into a Microsoft world) but the day i see this in OpenOffice is the day I rush to download it.
But I think extensions is a great way to go - it's the most powerful feature in Firefox and is mainly the reason I miss it when I can't use it (god bless Adblock).
For now I plod along with Web-Based Office apps (namely Google Docs) till the day desktop based ones become worth their Hard Drive footprint, or I need all the features they tout.
