if opera is faster, they should stop rep from using it, given the shit that comes out of him through it.

Link is currently down due to it being slashdotted into bandwidth hell, but the main points are quoted in the post. Opera is the fastest browser by all tests. All of slashdot couldn't refute the facts, so your argument is moot at best. Since you guys don't care about speed (Because you use Firefox, even though Internet Explorer and Opera beat it) Then you might consider the features. Opera is the most fully featured browser on the planet. Regardless of the open-source scripts of little use that Firefox has (Come on, mp3 player in the browser? Give me a break.) on download Opera has one hundred fold the capability of Firefox.

You nerds cannot debate the facts. Get over it. It's just a piece of software. You act like it's your life or something. "NO NONONONO!!! BUT FIREFOX IS FREEE!! THAT MEANS IT'S BETTER!" Poor idiots.

Ok I may not have been up to date on the status of Opera. However, the amazing features you brag about are arguable at best. I'm not going to argue whether it is faster but damn does Opera have an ugly interface. I have 6 buttons, the standard menu and a text box all taking up about 10px of my screen. With Opera you give up TONS of potential viewing space for all kinds of useless features and gizmos.

i've been using opera for some time - when i upgrade my system i'll try out firefox -

one thing i love about opera is that you can go back and forward pages REALLY fast by clicking Right mouse button followed by left mousebutton in succession, to go back, and vice versa to go forward.

I'm sure ff has a plugin that allows this tho.

btw i read that other thread - surprised that tormentius thinks IE is decent ... once you've experienced advanced browsing ala opera/ff, you can't really go back to IE stylez...

i just switched to opera about a month ago...main reason being that it loads and renders pages faster than IE or FF ever did for me.

what else do you need a browser to do, minus be free*?

trust me - the mousebutton method is far superior.

Ehhh... Right click, customize toolbars.

Edit: Like this, or however you'd like. I left the buttons on there just to illustrate that you can do things however you like, but it's nice to clear all of the buttons off and just use gestures.

I've tried them but went back to IE. Its mostly the policy support and centralized updating/management which make it far better than the alternatives on the corporate desktop. Since SP2 thats gotten even better.

You know, this thread was clearly set up for people to post witty replies about things you wouldn't see on the internet, such as:

"I am sorry, your search for 'porn' brought up no results"

Instead you speand 2 pages arguing about the merits of a fucking browser :lol:

Nah, this thread was set up to be a blatant troll. But it was worth it just to see this:
