Opera - Opera vs IE vs Firefox

i read the forum, i get a lot people discuss IE vs Firefox. i wonder why nobody mentioned about Opera?
personally i being the user of the 3 browser listed above and would like to share my opinion to all members about Opera.

IE is my first using broswer after netscape navigator. i really impress by IE stablity and speed compare with netscape. therefore i being using it for more than 5 years.

After IE i try firefox for few month after get it information on newspaper, i download it immediately and try it. well ... it is much more stable than IE but i cant feel it provide me the speed faster than IE.

Now i would to recomend Opera, i being using it for more than one year. now even i install 3 browser in my computer but i just using OPERA. the main reason is like below:

1. Opera is the 1st browser which support Tabbed browsing, where i can Surf the Web easier and faster by opening multiple Web pages within the same application window.

2. It build in Pop-up blocking. Opera lets you control whether to block all pop-ups, or open only the ones that you have requested.

3. It intergrated with google search.

4.BitTorrent, You don't need a separate BitTorrent application to download large files. Simply click a torrent link and start the download.

5.Thumbnail preview....It is easy to have many tabs open at once in Opera. But exactly which tab had that video you wanted? Hover your mouse on any tab to see a thumbnail preview.

6.Zoom the contents of any Web page from 20%-1000% using the zoom dropdown or the + and - keys.

7. It provide me the speed...i feel my computer never lag when i using Opera compare iwith the other 2 browser.

8.It never go crash so frequently compare with IE

9. The best ting i like is it can save the seasons i use the opera, so everytime i open opera i can go to the previous pages automatically....even i open 10 tab before...therefore i no need to re-type the address...just like my ASTAHOST forum will always at one of my tab once i open opera.

The point i listed up above just some point i feel great as i am an ultimate end user. howerver i not so good in tecnical aspect.

i hope u can have a try at www.opera.com

I’m with you there ...been using Opera for years (about6) because I used to be on dial up and Opera has a feature at one click to disable all images on the screen and just display the text...perfect for reading the news before you goto work wink.gif

Its mad me laugh SOO much at all these converts to Firefox..they are going around like its some new religion!!
WTF !! Opera users have had ALL the features Firefox boasts about for hmm let me see..3 years now!!!


Opera is constantly innovating and constantly leading the rest in terms of compatability..Ever heard of the Acid test? this tests your browsers compatability against the web standards..

Question Can you click on this link The Acid Test and see a Smiley face and Hello World!? only Opera 9 users can wink.gif))
No other browser on the market including Firefox and Ie7 FAIL this compatability test!

I can bang on about all the extra features that Firefox just doesnt have..I can bang on about IE being buggy.. I can bang on about having Opera in windows Linux and on my phone..but I wont;)

Download Opera...Wise up!!!

I use both Firefox and Opera, so I cannot be considered a zealot for any particular browser. The only one I disdain is the infamous Internet Explorer.

I really like the speed of Opera, its user interface, its responsiveness, its memory management (i.e., no memory leak as found in Firefox), its inclusion of innovative features, etc. On the other hand, I must confess that I use Firefox more often than Opera for several reasons. This is more a practical choice, than a passioned desire to join the band of Firefox fans. My most compelling reason to use Firefox is extensibility. There are millions (okay, I exaggerate) of extensions out there that allow me to customize Firefox into a highly efficient tool that suits my particular needs. Among a host of others, these include extensions that modify the way websites are presented, interact with Notebook or del.icio.us, write blogs, tweak Google, etc. And for all the features mentioned in the posts above, an extension can provide Firefox with that capability. I looked through the Opera Widgets and was largely unimpressed.

The best of both worlds would be the Opera browser with extensibility as broad and deep as Firefox. I love both browsers, but Firefox currently edges slightly above Opera for me. smile.gif

yes. opera build in google search engine at it web browser. however it didt support certain format of web pages such google spreedsheet. but i think this is not a big problem as we can notice that the developer of opera update this browser constantly.

I didn't even know what opera was until this year from Trap 17. Someone said that my site was having issues on Opera browsers so i downloaded it to fix the problems. I loved the browser because unlike netscape and firefox it doesn't take anytime to load. The tabbed browsing is better then the new IE because the new IE has lots of bugs. So it left me with Opera and i love it. I never use IE except when some sites don't accept it. I will always use Opera unless something better then it comes out which i doubt.

Alright, just downloaded the Opera just to find out if it's better than IE6 which I know is the least stable browser, but it was pretty fast. I know moving to Firefox is just stupid because it sucks even more than Internet Explorer because my MySpace profile laways gets messed up. Unlike this one it isn't.

I'm using Opera right now and it's slower than IE6 but I'll give it some time maybe it'll become faster as the time goes by. BTW I like the simplicity of this browser and its clean skin. I'm pretty impressed by its Voice activated features but I soon found it rather time consuming and pointless.

Heh heh Opera may have had it first but people just coming into it wouldn't care less. FireFox and probably Internet Explorer has most if not all of that and more of it's own by now.

Maybe 3 years ago people would have cared but when people are switching now those features are there and present today tongue.gif.

I use Firefox almost exclusively because more web developers take Firefox into consideration than Opera or Safari. I don't even talk about IE because it is so unstable and also does not adhere to conventions correctly. Most web applications work for Firefox now, but I cannot say the same about Opera and Safari, but things are getting better with the advent of AJAX. Web developers are starting to build applications that are truly cross-platform, but until then, I will use a bit higher-profile browser like Firefox than Opera or Safari.

Yeah, my only problem with Opera is the one of two plugins I need, Flash (the other being Java, which is a system wide thing even), about a third of sessions I try to go on youtube, it crashes. Latest version, happens less on Mac so far.

Still, Opera ftw. Flash is a netscape plugin (as are most?), which FF is descended from, so Opera's only fault is cos of FF.


Opera on Windows or Linux? Why didn't I ever have any problems with Opera flash plugin or java? It never crashed for me on Windows though and always worked..

Haha, touché . I do like the fact that opera is an all-in-one solution, it might consume more memory, but it definatly useses a lot less memory if you have only standalone apps.

Actually Opera consumes less memory than Firefox in my experience on older computers (haven't tried FF on beast machines, they say Chrome is the best there).

Let's not even mention how Thunderbird hogs when it checks for mail.
