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:

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..

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 ;)

Obviously YOUR second statement is a LIE.
Ok, tell me what decent features you like in firefox and i'll tell you if opera invented them :)

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.

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.

"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.

Opera users think they're cool when they call it "firetruck" :rolleyes:

      This seems backwards. You should have to explicitly authorize files for outside use. It shouldn't be the default.

      Wow you are right, I never even noticed this until you said it! (870E Aorus Master) Before testing this card I had a TP-Link tx401 10GbE PCIe card in that slot (now using XikeStor 310 Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter).

      Lack of 5.1 makes this a no sale. What I really wish creative would make would be a USB version that supports 5.1 analog audio for speakers, can switch to headphone mode, and matches the specs of their top tier cards. The current X870E AMD motherboards dont have a great option for adding a PCIE x1 card without cutting down pcie lanes to the graphics card.
    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot by Usama Jawad I have been actively using Microsoft Word for the past couple of decades in academic, professional, and personal capacities. Although I used it through the perpetual version of Office apps at the start, I have been an active subscriber of Microsoft 365 Family subscription for over five years now. This means that my Word installation is regularly updated with new features, some of which I don't really like, but that's beside the point. As new features get continuously added, old ones that used to be a staple of Word have started to take a backseat. While I was reminiscing over my Windows experiences from my childhood today, I suddenly remember one such capability that I heavily used in my younger years but have not really touched in over a decade, and haven't seen in documents created by others either. That feature is WordArt. Just to clarify, WordArt is not a Microsoft product specific to Word, and is included in other Office apps like PowerPoint and Excel too. However, Microsoft Word is the app that I used Word Art in heavily, while making assignments or other deliverables for school. If you're unaware, WordArt offers a collection of styling techniques for text, introducing 3D effects like shadows and reflections in the text. It used to be one of the coolest things ever when I was at school and me and my classmates would often compete to ensure that our assignment's title in WordArt was truly the best and stood out above the rest. See some examples of WordArt, still present in the latest versions of Word below: Although WordArt is undeniably cool, it has taken a bit of a backseat, and has been relegated from the Home tab to the Insert toolbar, along with a bunch of other utilities, making it very easy to miss. This isn't exactly surprising because WordArt doesn't really have a place in academic and professional documents anymore, and while I have seen some creatives using it while developing promo material, even that sector has gravitated more towards dedicated graphic designing tools in the past years. For the vast majority of us, WordArt doesn't really exist, and that's alright. At least, it's still an option that can allow us to reminisce our childhood or even make some quick text stylization, if we really need it. Perhaps its usage has waned over time or the novelty has worn off, but I haven't even seen children use it in their academic assignments anymore. In fact, many don't even know that it exists. Maybe that's the fate of every beloved feature. What once felt cutting edge eventually becomes a relic, quietly tucked away as tastes, trends, and technology move on. WordArt may no longer dominate school assignments or decorate the covers of classroom projects, but for those of us who grew up with it, it remains a colorful reminder of a time when making text glow, bend, and cast giant shadows felt like the height of creativity. Hidden behind a few clicks in modern Word, it still survives not as a productivity tool, but as a small piece of computing nostalgia that refuses to disappear.
