Kr0z Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I still have IE and FF on my PC but find that Opera has now become my #2 browser after IE. Very happy with it. You? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Pitman Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 No. Certain sites that I frequent don't load correctly in Opera and the UI isn't configurable enough to suit me, particularly the arranging of tabs and other parts of the UI.

Slimy Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 nope, it has too much "stuff" that I won't ever use, i like simple and ie is simple enough for now, until i see something better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pox Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 i'll be sticking with firefox forever... i love the huge community and availability of plugins... also the security is great. after using IE7, i must say microsoft are almost vaguely somewhere near catching up with the tabs... but its still... well... microsoft. i just love using open source. firefox! mmm and i love gazing at the logo next to the title bar that says neowin.net. mmmm neowin + firefox.

xUnix Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 why??? I am more than happy with my Firefox.... I dont see a big deal with Opera anyway!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted September 21, 2005 Veteran Share Posted September 21, 2005 Partially. I like a lot of how it works so far. In about a week of use I will know whether Firefox or Opera becomes my primary browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecaveman Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Firefox should still be in BETA it's so buggy, at least Opera works as it should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naap51stang Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Nope........I don't need a "suite", just a browser, which is why I use FF. I have nothing against Opera, it's a great browser "suite", but I just don't need an email and news reader, just a browser :alien: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pox Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Firefox should still be in BETA it's so buggy, at least Opera works as it should. i hate to disagree with you there, Fx 1 - 1.06 have been working perfectly fine for me, its often the plugins that are buggy ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've switched to it - from Opera 8.0. Same here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan.Varga Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I downloaded it and its not a bad browser. However I am not a huge fan of the UI. It has a little too much extra functionality. I like my browser to browse and thats it. Not a bad product but I would give it a second chance once the next version comes out with an updated (and hopefully better) UI.

I prefer Outlook for email and I don't use usenet, and unless you actually use them, you'd never know they're there. Infact, the only reference I see to them is "Tools > Mail & Chat Accounts". Anyway, it's not like the extra features are taking up any more space (Opera is smaller than Firefox), or slowing it down (Opera is fast). :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLien_0 Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 opera can make it free, they can change what ever they want, but im still sticking with Firefox (cleaner UI, Easier to use and thunderbird integration) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wak1zashi Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I love it, been a user for a long time... Great News to me that its going free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is Opere any less simple? opera can make it free, they can change what ever they want, but im still sticking with Firefox (cleaner UI, Easier to use and thunderbird integration) 586555782[/snapback] Integrated? huh? Well, thunderbird uses the firefox engine (gecko), yeah.. but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soldier1st Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 i use it as my main browser,i just upgraded from 8.02 to 8.5 and i must say i like it,no more keygen needed to get rid of the ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg098 Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I like opera because its very different from the other browers. Firefox is more like netscape, internet explorer is more like bloated and slow, opera is different from all of them...its cleaner and seems faster.
