Oh, that's bold! :)

I was always under the impression that Opera excelled at ergonomics,
that Chrome basically cloned Opera's interface when it was first
released and that Firefox, beginning with 4.0, couldn't resist to keep
the outdated old-IE-like interface and went ahead to clone Opera's
interface. But this is all very subjective so prepare your shotguns.
