I'm glad to see you mention RoboForm - I can't imagine living without it. I can't stant the thought of manually entering my paswords or copy-n-pasting them from another app every time I want to login to a web site.
I liked it so much that when I switched to Mac, I wrote 1Passwd to manage all my passwords. Of course, I'm still using Firefox

I definitely agree that the more competition the better. With less competition people tend to forget about improving. Zoli Erdos has a point–Opera is underrated. Opera 9 has a bountiful support for standards, and yet it hardly has an indent on the market. It's also quite a bit faster than Firefox and uses less memory. In fact, the only reason I continue with FF is its many extensions. I guess I'll check out Flock, but I don't want 50 browsers on my computer either. As for a search engine better than Google, that'll come eventually. If Google decides to slack off on working on their search, someone is going to do work at it and beat them. The hare and turtle story, right? At one point I thought PreviewSeek was better than Google, but it wouldn't work on Javascript disabled browsers or slow dial up connections. (Or at least it wouldn't work well)

The browser that's underrated in most web stats is Opera. In fact a little while after Opera became free, instead of a surge in my Opera site-readers, I saw an increase in IE, while Opera stayed where it was.
Guess what: The default setting in Opera is to present itself as IE6.
Btw, I am also using Firefox:-)
