Opinions?

Right now I'm using Mozilla because it allows the user to select what cookies they wish to select. Other than that it seems that the two browsers are very similar... although neither has the "open link in new tab" default option I want to have. *grumble grumble*

Does anyone have opinions on this?
Mac OSX is like Windows XP... only good.

Why don't you middle/command click. In both browsers that opens the link in a new tab.

I do... as I have a two button mouse w/ scroll wheel, but I'm lazy and would like that option to be the default.

Too lazy to press a mouse button?

Wow...

And you want every link to open in a new tab? To me, that seems kind of excessive.

Well... I have to select it in a menu that comes up when I hit the second button. I'd like it to just open in a new tab instead of a new window.

Ok, but aside from my laziness regarding tabs etc... What do people think about those two browsers?

Not if you click your mousewheel (assuming it is also a button)

Clicking the mouse wheel doesn't do anything with my current mouse for some reason... it used to act as a double click...

Hmmmmm... actually I was just checking, and apparently the extension for my mouse is operating on OS 10.3.2 via the OS 9.2.2 file. O_o
