|
|
I know after the announcement of Opera being released as freeware alot of people switched over to it from Firefox (or at least played around with it). Just curious... how many people are staying with Opera? What is it that makes you stay away from Firefox?
Personally I'm thinking of going back. I had everything set up just the way I liked, everything worked just the way I wanted it to work, and adblocking annoying pictures is just great.
Other than personal preference, I'm really not seeing anything terribly extraordinary from Opera. |

I can see those reasons.
On the other hand... Firefox, while rock-solid on Windows is less than wonderfully stable on Linux, for me. I like the stability of Opera. |

I think that opera is much better laid out than Firefox. The tabs being above the explore bar makes more sense in my opinion. Same with the [x]'s being on the tabs rather than in the corner. Alas, no adblock though.
Now, that's not to say that I don't also like Firefox. It's a bizarre love triangle. |

I like Opera much more then Firefox. like Martin, I also like the layout of Opera much better then Firefox's. I've been using Opera for 3 or 4 months now, and I don't have any problems with it.
I'm staying with Opera. |

I started using Opera before trying out Firefox. I found nothing incredibly novel about FF that would make me want to switch. (I found it a lot closer to IE - I think Opera is more novel).
Also, a lot of independent studies show that Opera is a faster browser (page loading), and I tend to agree. |

yea a lot of you guys complain about firefox's instability (well on linux anyways)... i just want to point out.. it's rock solid on archlinux.. and ehm.. its zippier than my windows version..
Some site don't render correctly on opera.. so i dont use it on linux... but on windows opera runs faster than firefox... hence that's my default there.. on the mac it's camino & safari.. heh |

| It's not instable in that it spontaneously crashes, but the XUL interface sometimes... just quits, leaving a rendered page and big gray bars where the toolbars and such were. |

Cue the best part about Firefox - extensions!
The "Tab Mix" extension allows you to have a close button on each tab.
Having said this, I haven't yet had the time to check out Opera and see which I like better - it's still on my todo list. |
