Why is Opera such a good browser compared to FF? I'm not a FF fan but I like to use it, I just don't see a difference except in the UI..

Not the smartest question to ask 'round here. do a search, it's been discussed to death here.

my advice is try it and decide for yourself.

Well, I'll be nicer than a certain someone above and actually post something that helps you out:

Opera is, in theory, the anti-Firefox. While Firefox is bare bones and lets the user add or drop features at will, Opera includes a ton of features from the get go, saving you the time of searching for an extension or plugin.

There are difference in the rendering engine and such, but the core philosophy of "bare bones vs fully loaded" is the big difference in terms of usability.

ahh, kind of like the 360 Core and Elite.. not trying to get off topic here just for comparision

didn't mean to come off as rude. i only gave that responce cause i've seen how easily something as simple as an answer to why one would be over the other or what one does that that the other doesn't could escalate to something also redundant on the forums.

fine...

bangbang came up with the perfect answer though, sry once again if i came off as rude, wasn't the intention.

i'll add my 2cents then. i find that people find themselves adding extensions to firefox just to end up doing the things opera already has built-in.

Difference between Opera and Firefox are mainly these:

* Opera exists for virtually every platform, Firefox does not

* Opera uses approximately two-thirds the amount of memory of Firefox

* Opera is optimized for speed and renders pages faster

* Opera Software strives to always have the latest bleeding edge technology built-in the browser (latest additions are canvas, SSE, SVG)

* Built-in tools for web developers

* All W3C standards are followed to 100%

Please remember I'm not a fanboy - just giving you the hard facts.

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
