Instant backImplemented in Firefox 1.5 AFAIK"Unfortunately, and to Opera's credit, Firefox's instant-back isn't quite perfect.

what is that? Opera 9 has content blocker build-in. You right-click on the page to select Block content. Then you click on the ad to remove. It disables that domain from loading and can use the wild * character.
What does google toolbar offer that Opera doesn't have already?I'm serious, I have it installed in IE, and I didn't found anything useful besides search box and popup blocking (which is definitively a must for IE)
So, it's not the article thats misleading, it's the title.

ok tomm great for you. now if you could go start a flamewar elsewhere, it would be nice of you.not only konqueror is not the subject here, but you failed to understand that konqueror is kde only while opera is cross platform, you can prefer konqueror as much as you want, it will still be tied to KDE. opera is declined in mobile version, works on PC and MAC, under windows and linux. On a multi booting box you can even share a single user profile between OS, so you'll have the same user preferences under windows and linux.oh and BTW "Konqueror is the file manager for the K Desktop Environment.". a file manager embedding web browsing features is not a web browser.

None of those items are specific to opera only.

That title is misleading, should be marked as inacurate because Firefox can do all of those things, and more...way more...way way more...

The Atlas controls hardly work in any browser other than IE. Also, they're in beta.
