All right, let's take a look at the video...
1. Negligible speed improvements, feh.

Negligible? Are you kidding?
It's 250-300%.

3. Reopening closed tabs. What, Firefox 3 didn't have that feature? Pfft. Tabs, yes. Windows, no. Opera 10 still doesn't have it, nor do (IIRC) Chrome, Safari, or IE.

4. HTML 5 support is good, but it's not like no one supports Flash video anymore. I'm still an XHTML 2.0 fanboy, anyway. That's not the point. The point is that Flash is a massive resource hog and proprietary.

5. Location aware browsing is useless on desktop computers, and Fennec lags like hell on my Nokia N810 because XULrunner is slooooow. Nokia N810 is slowww...actually.

I'll stay with Opera. Good. You deserve it.

Let me know when Opera figures out how to make a competent GUI. They can't even get the basics right. It's unbelievable.
