Are you deluded? I don't know how anyone can claim that Opera is in any way lightweight when it includes a subpar Email client, a subpar BitTorrent client and a subpar IRC client amongst other things.

It must be pretty buggy if it's always adding random forward slashes to everything you post. Have you reported it to the developers?

Opera 11 :beer:-- faster than the speed of light ! :shocked: wow!

With Firefox 4, it's become a lot closer to Opera with speed. Made the biggest difference on the netbook, as it's more geared towards being a media machine and so has a decent graphics card.

For comparison, Opera gets 11fps on mine for the test, but is quite obviously a fast browser. Imagine when Opera gets hardware acceleration - it'll have changed pages before you even have clicked on a link!

FF4 on Ubuntu 11.04 on a core2quad with an HD4350 video card.
what went wrong there then?!

I never loaded the proprietary drivers for ATI when running the latest Ubuntu, and found it was a much better experience compared to previous versions with either driver set.

For reference, the netbook has a HD3200.
