Firefox, because even with all the tweaking in the world I can't get the user interface to look exactly the way I want, the way I have it with firefox. Plus opera lacks extensions I need such as "linkification" that turns plain text links into clickable ones, the view page in internet explorer mode, among other things.

Opera is faster though, I'll give it that, with a smaller memory footprint. I like them both.

Hehe, firefox is soo much faster than IE exlplorer, you can mod it to the day!!!

How does that even relate to the topic?

I'm a huge fan of Opera, but can see that paying for a browser can be a negative for a lot of people.

I love the new side bar way of doing things, a lot better than the hotpanel IMHO.

And as a developer, and pda user, I also like the ability to make a webpage look like it would on a pda using Shirt+F11.

I'll say Firefox because I'm used to it already, but I do not dislike Opera at all. I think Opera's faster than firefox (on both linux and windows) but I still think Gecko rendering is "better" (Anyway, Opera & Firefox will behave the same for W3C-standard-compliant pages, at least the ones I have tried).

      $80 or 90%, anything else would be financial suicide one way or another.

      Or... just use Bitwarden. Free, and has on-prem option as well. Works both on desktop and mobile, wherever you are. The age of local password files is over.

      I actually got to use one of those so called "backup codes" once. It was for a customer, I choose the backup code option, and by the grace of god, they actually hade them printed out. Imagine my surprise, when after using the backup code, Google then told use we had to enter a code they just sent to the gmail address we currently did not have access to. I was not amused, Google backup codes should be the end all get out of jail free card, because you had to have access to the account to even get them.

      On the topic of being locked out of a service. Recently two different friends of mine got locked out of their Google accounts. Both were hack attempts and one of them is waiting 30 days before he can get back in. He had backup codes and MFA but not a passkey. It was a browser token hack. Anyhow he has to wait 30 days for the dispute or whatever to end. The other person only had a password and is screwed losing all of the email, docs and years of photos. Google won’t help her at all. Her fault because she had no backup/recovery setup. Enable passkeys if possible. Also do NOT use browser based password managers. If using a cloud service make sure it is one you can fully sync to one of your devices so you can back it up. Like a PC or Mac with some backup drive plugged into it. Google is the worst to use IMHO. You can’t sync your photos at all. You have to use the “Take Out” service which is manual and takes days. That service strips the meta data from your photos. Also Google Docs synced to a device are useless without a Google accounts. MS Office/Libre Office is not going to open a link to a Google doc to a dead account.
