I don't care about Firebug tbh, its not worth a change from a browser to another, in general I hate frontend debugging tools, plus it ain't THAT great in the end or atleast not for me.

IE isn't exactly forced on you even though it is sort of, same with Safari default on Mac's, Firefox/Gecko-like browsers on Linux. Yes you can ofcourse uninstall IE from a Windows based pc, which removes the binaries from %ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer, but not the minimized version of IE thats actually apart of the explorer.exe thats used when its not linking to the "real" IE.

But yes, Opera is truely amazing =)
