FireFox or Opera ?

[Jimny]

Um. Opera has 'find as you type'. They INVENTED it, in fact.

Please don't lie to make your browser seem better.

Did you know most of the features in FF is invented by Opera? :rolleyes:

585492641[/snapback]

Such as? Even if they did invent every single feature in firefox, that doesn't make it better. What matters is how the features are implemented and how useful they are, NOT who invented them. Tool.

You, my friend, are the 'tool'. First of all he isn't lying, and you took that second quote out of context. He wasn't saying the features were better in opera because they invented them, but if you would've read the post properly, you would've realised that..

Firefox... it's way lighter on my system

If you please, describe to me what these features that Opera invented are then?

I wasn't saying that he was correct about opera inventing them. I was only saying that he took the quote out of context. :pinch: I assumed that he wasn't lying as people have said that the find as you type feature was in v6..

I'm leaving it at that because i don't wanna get caught up in this argument ;)

Ok, tell me what decent features you like in firefox and i'll tell you if opera invented them :)

Obviously YOUR second statement is a LIE.

I mainly use opera, but here are some features in firefox I like:

-Hot keys

-Extensions

-interface using xslt

-type ahead find

-moveable toolbars

-bookmarks

Don't bother answering. Opera didn't invent any of these features.

The first quote was talking about the first thing he said (Opera invented find as you type thingy, which as i said above i assumed was true due to people saying it was in v6). The second quote was talking about him saying most of firefox's features were invented by opera.

Sorry if that wasn't clear...

This is the browser share of my blog. I think this pretty much explains it. (This represents 373 visitors)

Just thought I'd point out that there was never a public release of Opera v1 or under, IIRC. I think you meant to put 7.X or 7.5X. Just a technicality.

opera invented mouse gestures and tabbed browsing. and dont try and tell me you dont like those.

It was clear, however opera didn't invent type ahead find and neither did mozilla. Also, most of firefox's features were NOT invented by opera. Both of his statements were the frantic ravings of an opera fanatic.

I didnt make the graph, the site meter did.

"What matters is how the features are implemented and how useful they are, NOT who invented them."

Absolutely correct.

Whether or not who invented them first:

1) Compared to Opera's tabbed browsing, Firetruck's is a joke. A poor and cheap imitation by Firetruck that isn't even enabled by default (new links opening in tabs, that is).

2) The implementation of mouse gestures is better in Opera.

I do understand these are not the only features you might be talking about. But these are two of them.

So firefox is suddenly being called firetruck? or am i missing something here. And it is enabled by default. Something called middle click.

Does Opera still have ads built in?
