It's the PC people who use IE that we need to worry about. That said, there are a bunch of nifty features. Firefox (and Opera) have "Quick Searches", which let you type in something like "g hen hud" into the address bar and it'll search Google for Hen Hud. Opera also has mouse gestures, which are shortcuts for common commands (hold control and drag the mouse to the right to go forward a page). Go on, give it a try. Oh, Safari’s great.
