I use firefox, love it.
I dont' have a DS. If anyone has one or knows: How do you type stuff on the DS? is there some on screen keyboard? If so or whatever way the DS uses, it might be how they type on the Wii.
[edit]
found it, on screen keyboard and letter recognizer. The on screen keyboard might be used for the Wii. Not sure about letter organizer because it seems akward because you don't have a hard surface to write on but it seems possible.

Try Maxthon for a week and you'll forget Firefox ever existed.
Fortunately, Wii users will have the option to use a keyboard, even though it isn't necessary.
The worst handheld browser so far has to be the PSP's. I still can't get over how horrible the predictive text is.

I've still got you both beat:
Maxthon includes numerous features that you'd have to find extensions for with Firefox... and just don't exist in Opera.
Check it out if you haven't:

First of all, there's no reason be an ass about it, simply put.
Second, if you would've read every post in the thread, you would see that users were not only talking about the Wii's browser, but also their preferred browser; I simply stated mine. Nowhere did I complain about the Wii's browser. In fact, I'm happy they chose Opera over Firefox- at least then will the Firefox fanboys see that while their browser is good, it could be improved.
If you want to be a biggot, fine, but you have no reason to question who does or doesn't "give a damn" about anything anyone posts. That would be the equivalent to someone questioning who "gives a damn" about your posts.

If you like Opera, wait until you try Maxthon.
It has everything Opera has, plus more. Not to mention, it's lighter on resources, thus faster.
