        Wow I've been using Opera for years as my secondary browser and I feel pretty vindicated. Let's face it, Opera is superior in many ways, it's nice to see that my hunch that FireFox was just an overhyped fad is proven out by the facts. People may choose to use it but it's an emotional, not logical, decision for most.

            Using Firefox it's just a habit for me. I don't have a good feeling with Explorer. It's... crappy. :-D Opera is a good browser, anyway some sites don't work, usually for JavaScript issues (even CP has some problems with Opera 8.5). ___________________________________ Tozzi is right: Gaia is getting rid of us.

                I use IE, Firefox and Opera. In the latter two I never took any notice of claims of "faster," "more secure", "not Microsoft." To be honest I've never been able to notice any difference in speed between any of these browsers. I use Firefox and Opera simply because they have certain features that are superior to what IE has. I use all three because no one browser is better than the others in all respects and for all purposes. Kevin

                  Well Opera has the ability to turn JS off or on, when it's off I see lots of funky problems, when it's on I never see any problems.

                    Ok, I just tried CP again, checking that JS was enabled. That wasn't the problem. I noticed that using Opera, on the top of the messageboard, the message "Hint: For a faster board use IE 4+ or Mozilla, choose 'Message View' from the View dropdown and hit 'Set Options'." appears, so it's clearly a CP problem and Opera is innocent. :) ___________________________________ Tozzi is right: Gaia is getting rid of us.

                      To me, it's just that Firefox feels better, smoother. I can't explain. :-O ___________________________________ Tozzi is right: Gaia is getting rid of us. My Blog [ITA]

                        Nice comparison. I don't like those over-heated, such as when FireFox got announced that time, such as GMail, etc.

                                      Myth: Requirements On the machine I'm using right now, FF is taking up 15.9 mb. In order to run IE under Windows, you need Windows at 5gb, thank you very much. They also neglected to add the Firefox runs on Mac OS-X , Linux, and Unix. As far as CPU, who cares if it runs on a 486 when everyone knows Windows 2000/XP won't even install on that machine... Myth: Security Notice they don't even *list* IE? It *is* more secure because it doesn't allow activeX. Even IE comes with activex turned off by default. ------- sig starts "Why don't you tie a kerosene-soaked rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass..." - Dale Earnhardt "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 -- modified at 13:30 Friday 21st April, 2006
