Don't use Firefox because most of its add-ons aren't worth it?! Why not just use Firefox but don't install add-ons then?

  Because Firefox doesn't offer anything of real advantage beyond add-ons. If we're not talking open browsing, Opera beats it hand-down feature-wise, and Safari beats it hands-down design-and-efficiency-wise.

    What about usability-wise? Much nicer to use than either Opera or Safari.

      Safari is by far the most usable. You've got to be joking. And what does Firefox have in terms of usability that Opera doesn't have?

        "Got to be joking." Always a good way to start an argument. I would say the main two problems I have with Safari and Opera is their unexpected actions. They are radically different from previous browsers, and still have strange, divergent keyboard shortcuts, etc. I think the main thing for me is that neither handles tabs as nicely as Firefox, and for a heavy user, tabs are everything.

          I like inciting arguments, as an aside. It means people are more likely to think during a debate. And that means that there's a better chance of my learning along the way. this only works in online news sites, of course. Safari's got a comfortable tabs system - on OS X, anyway. It's got tab shifting, rearranging for windows, and double-clicking to make an ew tab if you're too lazy to CMD-Tab it. Though yeah, it's partly a matter of what you're used to.
