Engima runs faster than Firefox and you can easily run 32 tabs and not slow down the machine. I suggest people look for enigma browser and download it from http://store.democratz.org

The average home user will not be aware that thier are alternative browsers worth the effort as most are really only apparent if you start looking for them. in order to become more prominent in the market browsers such as opera and firefox need to raise awareness of their product through market advertising and word of mouth. I speak from experience having recently switched from ie to opera 9 after hearing someone mention it at a party - prior to that I wouldnt have bothered switching as I could see nothing wrong with ie The Saint No offense people but you are all thinking from an experienced computer users point of view, In reality the issue is one of branding – most computers these days are sold with windows installed and with windows comes explorer.

Sometimes when a webpages has a flashy advertisement going off making the reading of the actual content of the webpage ...well it's like someone waving their hands in front of you while you try to read a book, the content blocker can wipe that out of the page most of the time.
