31 Well, guess I'm lucky then.
32 I used it since 2.x and never had any problems. Never needed other
33 browser in Linux. Looking forward for 4.x, but still, 3.6.x is my
34 personal choice. Don't like chromium, not enough extensions, can't
35 stand Opera, Safari or Konqueror for the same reason. If flashblock,
36 noscript and adblock were available at any browser I could try it, but
37 still, I don't see it in a near future.
