    IE and Opera are both nice, but I haven't found anything Opera can do that FF can't, most of the time without an extension.

    As for customizable, FF is open source, so there isn't anything you can't customize. For the non-developers, the GUI is practically ajax, Javascript, XML, and CSS. You can remove menu items, rearange the menus, and even have the cursor change when you hover over javascript links as opposed to regular links, all by changing a single file using your favorite text editor, without extensions.

    I'm not trying to knock Opera, it always has been and probably always will be a good browser. I won't even say which is better. I'm just saying any arguments about flexibility and configurability are won by Firefox hands down, since there is not a single thing you can't configure in FF.

    (Speed, reliability, and preference all seem to be on a per-user basis, so that's a moot point)
