Firefox is a PIG on memory var: Respectful critic - thanks.

[Matt Patterson]

I decided to try opera last night. It has some interface things that are 
not as well thought out as firefox, but mouse gestures work (opera was 
the first with the feature) and the back button is REALLY fast!!! We 
will see if it hogs memory like firefox. Opera also makes more rendering 
errors. It is way faster though.
