I concur. I only use IE for those websites that
insist on doing things Microsoft's way, such as
some banking websites and Microsoft's own
website. I like the Bookmark Manager in
Opera, and I like Opers's relative obscurity -
it makes it a lesser target for virus writers.
There's also a version of Opera for Linux

When I read a Letter to the Editor from wsj.com, I have to
use the horizontal scroll bar to read. I cannot reduce the
window and have the text word wrap. True for IE and Firefox.
With Opera, I press a menu command, and the text word wraps.

Because of this, I installed Opera on my flash drive. When I
use a public computer, I run Opera from the flash drive. I
simply cannot read text that does not word wrap.

This text is *on a web page* and it does not wrap? That is surprising and
quite possibly just bad design, IMO.

What is your screen resolution, BTW? Just curious.

Yes, bad design. However, Opera can work around the bad
design, while Firefox cannot.
