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)

I think may be u should read the thread which "murderdoll" posted, he had the same question. The thread lasted for 94 pages...........

I think 94 pages should answer your question :whistle:

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?

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

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

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.

    • I tried to get the latest secureboot certificate for my old Dell 7010 Optiplex machine.   I restored the default settings to Secure Boot. Big mistake.  Now when secure boot is on. The machine doesn't boot and complains about no booting devises.  The computer's secure boot can't find where to boot and the information apparently has to be entered manually.  Secureboot's settings are now years old and it can't find a new configuration.  What could be done here? There are plenty of files to choose from in the secureboot menu, but I don't know what to put there for each of the four Windows 11 upgraded from 10..... originally who knows what (used machine) without secureboot it booting normally  
    • I see you're still rocking that g700 mouse
    • They need to follow the standard for AAA game but they will go at lowest level for triple a game because will sell more, earn kudos and the milk it for years anyway. look how much they milked gta 5 and how they milked the original 3 - San Andreas and vice city. it is probably going to be a fun game but then they allowed someone to remake classics that somehow were more broken and worse then original i hope they don’t ###### up this one!!!
    • In addition to the "sidebar app list" and "Collections" features, Microsoft will also deprecate the "Drop" feature. Before you publish this news and credit another site, here is the original source: https://x.com/i/status/2067838711870439583 .
