But weren't you going back to IE since it's the only browser which handles (almost) all sites? “if opera had autocomplete like all other browsers it wouldnt be the case”

Ever heard of it? It's far superior to autocomplete as it allows you to input multiple login names and passwords for either different accounts or different users. Much better in my opinion.

Like it is the black man in South Africa who failed at being white because he was being discriminated for being black? According to w2, all browsers except IE6 are worthless. Even IE7 has site compatibility problems to this day. basics broken = enough w2 returns to his precious IE6 :) w2: Lots of stuff is broken in Firefox and Safari/WebKit as well. Your point being?
