Although I'm not quite an opera guy (i like mozilla better!), but I like the "Opera Voice" where it can read and do your commands.

Opera also passes the "Acid TEST" for being CSS Standards compliant. It was only the second one to do so, Konquerer being the first.

I use Opera and IE to check web pages I develop. Opera to design with and IE to hack for...

I have used Opera for a few years (got it when you had to pay for it) and I have never looked back. It is standards compliant and has all the features you need built into the sidebar: RSS reader, access to emails, download manager, IRC...

I also do the same as jlhaslip, using Opera (or Konqueror on my laptop) to check my page designs, then applying various hacks and fixes to get IE to do what it is supposed to.

I use Internet Explorer, Firefox, Netscape navigator and opera . but I prefer Internet explorer for submiting private informations and doing businesses and transactions for it's security, and if I go to download websites and websites that have lots of images and photos in there pages I use Opera for them cause opera looks fast with this kind of websites.
so, every explorer have it's work

I've been using opera for about 7-8 years now. I'm so used to browsing in opera that I'm a bit biased towards other browsers (not ie though - it really sucks). Event though I really like opera I think it need to improve in the following fields:
1) When developing a website (on localhost) opera has a tendency of storing the pages in cache which caused me a lot of headache initially as the pages were not updating as i changed the code. (this problem has been reduced in the latest versions though )
2)The torrent feature doesn't download at a good enough speed. (If anyone knows the solution to this plz share)
3)Widgets are mostly useless.
4)Issues with some sites.(google pages etc)

btw I really liked the new speed dial feature.

I'm definitely for Opera, but I don't like the torrent feature at all. It's too slow, not detailed, most of the time doesn't perform nearly as well as a client [like uTorrent], it's missing a lot of the features I like to use, and so on and so forth. Also there's no way to tell Opera to use a different torrent client by default. I have to copy torrent links and have uTorrent grab them. I think this feature should be removed, at least until they can get a more definite solution. But then again, I'd feel weird leaving my browser open all night downloading torrents. Dunno why...

BUT, that's my only real issue with Opera. It's got a ton of other great features that I'm suprised other browsers haven't copied yet, like mouse gestures, the search shortcut, voice control, etc. And it's still faster than every other one.

Well here's a way:

1) tools>preferences>advanced>downloads

2) uncheck the "hide files types associated with opera" box

3) then find application/x-bittorent>highlight it and click edit

4) select open with default/other application

I like Internet Exolorer the most, I used Opera for a while, but it made me very...deppressed let's say. FireFox is alright, but it made my anti-virus software go crazy everytime I used it. I haven't really used anything else, I like Internet Explorer for being able to make a .html/.htm file and just double-clicking it and it working like it was hosted. I do not know of the other's doing this.

Opera definitely beats Internet Explorer no arguments about it.

But we can't deny that any browser that isn't made by microsoft is a better browser than internet explorer.

Firefox is ok but the issues surrounding the excess usuage of ram are just too frustrating for me.

Opera certainly beats IE, no questions asked. However, I do not like its torrent client. Other than that it works for me.

Internet explorer is the best of them, because IE as alot more features and it is alot more popular, think about it look at opera you hardly heer about it because its bad, now internet explorer is more popular and it has a ton more features, if opera were alot more popular then internet explorer, id probly be on opera typing a message saying that opera was the best and not internet explorer, but whatever, ill let you choose what you want too, but interet explorer still is best...

lol, I agree with the notice! There really isn't even a question, or a subject! lol

But I don't care for either. A FF fan here ever since I first laid eyes on it's pretty little tabs and fast browsing speeds!

I am sure that all browsers have there strong points as well as there weak points...some tend to have more than others! *cough* IE! *cough*

Please elaborate on your first post.

It's slow??? Crap! Now you tell me... I was using the torrent to download a 1.6GB file and it's taking, like, forever... I think it'll be done in just a few more weeks... If I'd known bittorrent was faster, I'd probably only be taking a couple weeks to download the stupid thing instead of six!

Opera has better features

and has a better design than internet explorer

. The only thing that i don't like about opera is the way that ftp is organized

. It is just a long list. Other than that i like it.

Personally i think that IE needs to update not the design but the features, becauseThe design for IE 7 sucked

Opera (or practically ANY browser) upon Internet Explorer! It's simply an elegant - AND feature rich web browser. But i've sticked my life with Firefox , and it's perfect JUST the way it is at the moment.

Opera is the best browser. It has everything that one needs for working with internet: from download manager to RSS engine.
But Opera has minus sides, too. For example while developing code of web page after refreshing opera gives the same result. But in comparison with minus sides of other browsers Opera is minusless.

Well this doesn't even need a question!!!! Opera is MUCH MUCH BETTER THAN Internet Explorer!! Internet Explorer crashes very often, it is also relatively slow compared to other browsers, I don't like the way it looks (it looks old!) and there are alot of other bugs... but on the other hand, Opera is much faster, it looks better, it never crashes (almost), the tabs feature is great, you can close it and still have all the tabs next time you use it!! anyway, I never liked Internet Explorer and I very rarely use it in fact. I prefer using Firefox and Opera. They are much better.

I prefer Firefox all the way. You can do so much and the extensions are endless. Its the perfect blend of customization. I might try out Opera in the near future if I ever have the time. I dont really like changing the way I do things very often.

Opera is fastest and best -Litle history Opera started before 2000 with ,,Fastest Browser on Earth,,
I also use Firefox but
i give my 2 cents for Opera :
Integrated mail,rss,news,irc chat/zoom,show images,top10 bookmarks
Right click on webpage : validate, source, open in background tab
Reload every/enable/1-30 min
Fraud protection, only browser capable to display progress bar inside adrress bar with details.

My name is nocom. Am I an Addict, i have Opera !!
