Thanks for linking to the usefull update. If you want to get even faster internet browsing then do what I do and give FireFox a go.

I prefer Opera to firefox but always seem to go back to IE.

I never noticed much difference in speeds to be honest and found using DrTcp the biggest speed boost my PC has ever had.

Open DNS also gave me a good speed boost - Open DNS - Faster safer surfing and its free.

IE is bad, will increase ya chance of spyware and viruses etc.

FireFox is alot better and safer.

There is that, but I use FireFox simply because you can browse the internet faster with it. I have tried Opera and it was even faster than FireFox but not all the sites I visit worked on it so I went back to FireFox and haven't looked back!

the reason some websites dont work in Opera and Firefox is because each browser works differently, some obey the W3 Standards and some *cough* IE *cough* completely ignore them.

Add a non-standard browser with a huge market share, and you get web developers who think "oh it works on IE, it'll be fine" and so their badly coded site which works fine in IE, looks terrible in a browser that is W3 compliant.

It can be annoying if you try to make a compliant site, as it'll often not work in IE, so you have to add in 'hacks' to try to make it look ok for the majority of web users.
