- - "Opera doesnt support even half the standards of Mozilla."
- Is that so? I would like to see a list of these standards.


How about CSS1 and CSS2. Mozilla has the best support of CSS1, while having partial support of CSS2. Opera has partial support of CSS1. (IE has broken support of CSS1 and broken partial support of CSS2).

- - "Opera to me is at the level of Netscape 3x Its a slim downed browser, compareable to other slim browsers, but not to something like Mozilla.
Opera has built in ICQ but so what, Mozilla is owned by AOL and will always has the best built in ICQ and AOL support so lets not go here."


Mozilla is not "owned" by AOL. Mozilla also does not have ICQ and AOL support.

- - "MOzilla has built in AOL, opera does not."

Mozilla does not have built in AOL.

- - "Composer, Spell checker, IRC chat,"
- True, but I have no use for these things.


Wysiwyg HTML editors are not useful. Mozilla does not have a spell checker. IRC chat is a good thing, but it is not used by most people.

A few notes: Opera supports themes, but not nearly to the extent that Mozilla does (Opera supports skins, not themes). Opera is much faster than Mozilla. Opera has a GUI-based method to lie in the UA string. Mozilla has better standards support. Mozilla is FREE in more than one way. Opera is not.
