Opera or Firefox?

[Onizuka]

Could someone help me out deciding which webbrowser to use?

I don't know if I would use Opera or Firefox... =/

Help me out please! =/

Thanks! :)

P.S. - Sorry for my english.

[shmengie]

sorry man. this topic has been beat to death. try them both and YOU decide.

[kwehner]

Both are free to download and try. Can't you try both and decide for yourself?

[DoNuTs]

I don't think there's a "Best" Browser, try them and see wich one you like best :)

I'm a Firefox user myself (Y)

[thechitowncubs]

Use what you want... they both are good.

[chmsant]

Up to you... sooo many past threads on this. I use FF, but opera isnt bad either

[Chode]

Let's not do this again....

[Droodles]

I prefer firefox for the sheer amount of extensions, but try them both, make up your own mind

[HoochieMamma]

I use both actually, but I use FireFox more.

Both are very capable browsers. Firefox is free, Opera isn't. Having said that, Firefox requires that you build your own custom setup using extensions. Vanilla Firefox cannot stack up against any current browser out there - it needs the extensions in order to compete.

Opera, on the other hand, implements nearly all the popular extensions and the end result is a much more cohesive experience. For example, the mouse gestures work on the sidebar, the voice plugin can read out webpages, email or even chat (though you have to invoke it each time a new line appears), open in background applies to just about every means of opening a page - even if its a chat, email, transfers, configuration page. Opera also has the best implementation of tabbed browsing to date. Some argue that AvantBrowser has a better implementation, but that uses IE and IE isn't a browser, its a liability. :happy:

And there is the very fact that it has chat, email, RSS, newsreader built in. All in an installation size which is less than vanilla Firefox. Compare the speed and standards support independantly if you want.

Finally, some say that Opera is bloated. This says otherwise. (Scroll down a little)

Opera is free. All of my friends haven't payed a penny and they're all enjoying the capabilities of Opera :)

The best way to find out is to try them both yourself.

'Vanilla Firefox cannot stack up against any current browser out there - it needs the extensions in order to compete.'

vanilla firefox is still better than ie.

I think 94 pages should answer your question :whistle:

[The Jorge]

Why let other people tell you what browser you should use. Try them both out and see which one you prefer.

These type of threads are so pointless. :no:

[Buzz99]

:D :D :D stick with IE :D :D :D

[kawasabi]

i would say Firefox

That would be too easy for him, he needs people to make up his mind for him. Hey guys, what should I have for lunch, a burrito or some pizza?

[Xylene]

[Neonix1]

Opera 8.0 is da shiznitz! ;)

A burrito dude!!! You WILL eat a burrito for lunch :p :rofl:

On topic: I prefer Firefox, both are good though.

[caerma]

Opera.

[stezo2k]

So many of these threads around.... Firefox all the way

It's free

Open source

Updated daily

Has a lot of nice features

and is fairly secure

[Draconian Guppy]

Opera, is FREE as well don't go trolling saying opera isn't free :p

Edit: Oh well forgot to mention i've got Firefox 1.0.3 installed as well.

[tapo]

In my opinion, it dosn't really matter. I used to hate Opera's interface, but it got better with 8. I also love the fact that Opera supports SVG. Hell, I'm using Opera now.

But Firefox is damn nice, and dosn't have the annoying Google or image ads to deal with...

Oh well. It's a tie.
