I used Opera when I was playing Ogame and found it very similar to Firefox.  I went back to the Fox though because it just feels better to me.

It's an add-on for Firefox that does cool stuff.  You download them individually, so you can customize pretty much everything.  For example, my browser displays the weather, blocks ads, and checks my email every 10 minutes automatically.

Firefox is the brower's that the closest of all to matching W3C standards, so yes... as a webdev, I'll beg y'all to use Firefox! Opera being the 2nd... I'm not sure about IE7, but if they do it like they have done previous versions...

Elfie: Extentions are like plugins. Most are user made (Make sure you only get certified ones from the mozilla website).

Stick with Opera unless you have a specific compatibility problem or you enjoy spending hours downloading and configuring extensions and other doodads.

Have been trading (for fun only) Opera shares for about a week now. Its been holding up pretty good even if the total market here has gone down with over 5% over the last few days due mostly to falling dollar and lower oil prices.

They are getting into several new phones and the new Nintendo console will have the Opera browser :)

Nah, You will have FireFox customized, up and running in some five-ten minutes.

Firefox is another tribute to the power of stupid people in large numbers ... kinda like windos.

Up and running in 5 minutes DOES NOT mean properly configured or properly secured.

The only reason I use Opera more than Firefox is simply because its faster.  
It took weeks of tweaking to get it to look and feel like I wanted it, but at least I did not have to download, plug in, configure, start over, ad nauseam.

Not to mention that it works and looks exactly the same on windos, apple and OS/2.

Are you serious? Can OS/2 still be found on any "client" machine where there's a need for a modern browser?

I really miss OS/2. If only IBM spent $30M on marketing for OS/2 in 1994 (M$ spent $300M on Win95 marketing in 1995) - we could have a good stable OS years before Win2000 and w/o M$ "bells and whistles".

If only Microsoft had not been allowed to enforce license agreements with PC manufacturers so that even if the buyer wanted OS/2 installed, they still had to pay for a Windows license.

Funny thing is that I actually use Firefox more than Opera.  I had some compatibility problems with Opera on a few particular sites which worked fine with Firefox, so I switched.

As i said.. i use both opera and firefox

I kinda like that our small country has a browser that is internationlay recognized. Maybe im using Opera out of nationlaist feelings, or perhaps its because i own shares in the company...or both

Ilike it. I hated it afew years ago because it was bloated, but now it is slick and fast.

:)

use it or dont... i knwo they make thir money know from embedded solutions and from getting their software into cellphones etc.

small company that has made it in an environent that is usually doninated by the huge.... i like it.


dont remember how much MS has lost in total with their IE browser, but it was a huge pile of $.


Opera is making money even if they only have a very few % of the total market
