    Firebug did look good but already moved on to from incompehensible jscript interactives about slugs onto incomprehensible Android apps about slugs before I discovered it.

    That's easy, Firebug. I'm not sure how I ever managed without it.

    They are probably not unrelated, if they are genuinely correlated. The causal relationship is just complex.

    links renders tables better than Lynx.

    I use Opera as well.

    P.S. Bonus points for using wget and cURL as well.

    Shouldn't that be EU and even then there are places within the EU where you can shop nearly tax free. Also this is a bit of a generalisation as you're presupposing that the reader of your comment resides in Europe whereas they could be a visitor from outside of Europe in which case duty free would apply.

    4. Pro entering the euro because one can buy a latte in Paris and Helsinki using the same currency

    Chrome is the finest in my opinion, very fast (starting up and browsing) and plenty of extensions. I also like the sync feature, means all my devices have same bookmarks etc. I think firefox has this now also. Anyone using IE should be taken round the back and shot.

    As original PM said. Using other browsers requires basic skills in searching, downloading and installing.
