Yea, too bad.
There's always the mighty wget. I used to use it for downloading big files on dialup.

Why bother when Opera will do the job of two pieces of software?

Oh know you don't need any extentions with Opera.

What sucks about Firefox then?

It's inferior to Opera, less features mean you need to add extentions while Opera is smaller but still has more features.

Worker_201,
I'm sure they will be happy for them to distribute Opera, wow its going to be hard for them to seek permission, not all that'll be require is an email explaining how Opera will be bundled and the licence of the distro.

I'm not so sure now....

If it isn't good for Airplanes or Nuclear Reactors, how good can it be? ;)

I think Linux distro's just might, seeing that they used to ship Netscape in the pre mozilla days.

I saw that, and I was wondering what sort of license has stuff like that in it?  I haven't read many licenses, I guess.  I find this shocking.  Are there people who would use Opera to control a nuclear reactor?  I doubt those things are .net yet!

No, you have to use Internet Explorer for that.

Just stick it on the reactor and crack it from anywhere!

I'll continue to use Firefox, just because.

Just wondering, why?

Is it becuase you (like piratePenguin) dislike Opera's licence? If so why because you support Apple Mac OS X which is also closed source.

What do you have against Opera?

Why is Firefox so great?

What main advantages does it have over Firefox (apart from the licence of course)?

As a financial supporter of the Mozilla project, it would be stupid of me to use another browser.  Additionally, I have been using Mozilla products for like 4 years now, and they have grown on me.  You know how it is, sometimes you just feel incredibly comfortable with something, it feels like home.  Opera is neat, but it doesn't really do anything that I am too impressed with - your specific complaints about the download manager have never been an issue for me, since I use a T1 line most of the time.

My browser sitch right now is crazy - I use Safari when I'm on the Mac.  In Linux, I use SeaMonkey for regular surfing and Firefox for porn browsing (some of those extensions are unbeatable).  Occasionally, just to make sure it's working, I run DeerPark too.

Eventually, if I come up with a neat idea, I would like to build some extensions for Firefox.  It's nice to know that the license allows me to do that.  But that's really the only way in which the license has a "real" effect on my choice of browser (it has all kinds of "fake" effects :D).
