[drugo]

Hi

well there is an article about the speed about the browsers like firefox google and others

but i did install firefox 3 and i did not find more fast then 2

a surprise is opera 9 , for me it's amazing fast , really more more more more fast then firefox

is only my imagination or it's real , opera is more fast then firefox

outside tests ,what is your opinion?

thanks

Most speed test show firefox 3 is about as fast Opera 9. I currently have opera and firefox 3 installed and they seem the same to me.

I moved from FF to Opera a few months ago. I tried FF3 when it came out, but Opera is still much better. IMO.

You might be able to import/export them into IE and then from Opera important them from IE.

They're about the same speed, and about the same for compatibility with the specs.

Try both and use the one you want, Firefox and Opera are both great browsers.

Firefox 3 has a huge bug with regards to cache. It doesn't refresh cache'd items, sending a 304 as it should.

Even when you hit CTRL + refresh.

I'd go with opera

I would proberly say Firefox but only because alot of websites are designed to work with firefox, not so much Opera! That's about it for me because I don't use addons because I filter sites threw a proxy :) Nothing wrong with Opera though, it just renders pages too correctly :p

Opera defies some of the typical windows conventions to make it seem faster. Scrolling for example, scrolls was faster than what you set scrolling to be in the control panel. Also, lots of things happen when the mouse button is pressed down, rather when it is released. Those things "seem" faster, but once you figure them out, they "seem" (to me) more annoying than helpful.

Opera also does some gimmicky kind of stuff when it comes to loading external stylesheets, that i can't see any practical use for.

But yeah, as far as actual non-gimmicky rendering performance, the latest versions are about the same.

It does for me using Fx 3.01.

For me Firefox 3 is much better than Opera 9

[Crazysah]

Opera 9 over FF 3.

Opera > Firefox

Definitely (Y)

I've tried both and have to say that Opera is the better choice.

For me it's much faster and uses less memory. (Y)

Even on 3.0.1

Opera feels much faster, the interface is quicker to respond, and I also find that it eats less memory.

Firefox 3 without question 'overall' ;)

cause with it's overall feel and add-on support it's hard to beat Firefox when your looking at the overall performance/feel/addon's of the browsers.

cause it aint used opera in quite a while but the last time i tried it... the overall feel of it i felt was lacking something... but it was not bad by any means.

p.s. only add-on's i use are ADBlockPlus/NoScript/Tabscroller... most people will know adblock and noscript... so ill just explain Tabscroller... it basically just makes it so i can hold down the mouses right click and scroll with the mouse wheel to instantly swap between open tabs ;) , it takes a little while to get used to but once you do it's more efficient web browsing experience (primarily only for people who generally have multiple tabs open though... so if you dont use tabs then it will be useless for you).... and now that im used to it i would rather not go without that feature ;)

Opera has an integrated ad-blocker, as well as a tabscroller (rightclick+scroll) ;)

Opera is much better than Firefox.

Always has been, Always will.

I would use Opera if I could get rid of the annoying message everytime I start it stating

There was a problem initialising Opera Mail.

Engine Init() failed

I cannot find anything regarding it, other than some gibberish about my opera mail box being ful, but I don't use opera mail at all, and have never set anything like that up. There also doesn't seem to be anything the options for mail :(

Contacting Opera is a no go as it appears I have to pay for support? or at least purchase opera, which I will not be doing any time soon.

You can post in their forums.

Would say Opera, but it is a mess on OSX, so I have to use FF.

Opera definitely..I have to install at least 5 addons in Firefox just to get the basic features in Opera (speeddial, mouse gestures, paste and go, find as you type, wand)
