Story: Opera: Firefox user figures 'inflated'
Posted by: Anonymous (Thursday 23 June 2005, 4:29 AM)
Opera Rocks...its fast and doesn't crash or drain memory quite like firefox seems to on all my computers. What I don't like are some of its inability to properly interface with scripts that seem to only work with IE and surprisingly only firefox mots of the time (online shopping carts, proper display etc..) This isn't so much the problem of Opera however as it is of the web-page writers...and poor java script and HTML protocol
I also find Opera to be the fastest of all the browsers and one of the most full featured...
Don't knock it for the ads -- they are everywhere on the web anyways (look at this very page!) and they are virtually unnoticed in my browsing anyways. Definitely a very good alternative to that finicky link that won't work...if it won't work in IE, it won't work in Firefox....but it might work with opera ..something about how Opera calls up addresses differently.
Sour grapes?? Maybe...but don't knock a gracious and very savvy player in the GNU/linux world...before there was firefox, there was Opera for linux...
