PROBLEM? WHAT PROBLEM?

Joy reports:

Opera is freakin’ annoying me right now as it is now persistently showing me a banner ad of one silicone’d babe in a bikini.

Sounds like a reason to switch to Opera, if you ask me.

    I keep seeing that ad all over–on Site Meter, as a pop-up (no pun intended), etc.

    Why don’t they pop up bikini-clad men for us ladies? I might even turn off my popup stopper and go back to the unpaid version of Opera…

    From the resident geekazoid: Opera is one of the better browsers out there, certainly better than IE. Sure you have to put up with ads, but not constant crashes…

    For the truly intreprid, however, I suggest Firebird, an open beta project for a rock solid, thoroughly flexible Mozilla-based browser:
