My new browsing love

Post by Pikachu3828 »

I have been converted :shock:

I used to use Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird for my web browsing/email needs, but that was until tonight when I finally decided to give another competitor a go that I had shunned for a while. Opera. I have to say I downloaded it with much speculation but now I love it :-D ! It honestly is an amazing browser and I would urge people to download it and use it as soon as possible. For one thing it is a web browser and e-mail client all in one, so I can send and recieve emails without moving from one program to another. There are also many features that Firefox doesn't offer, like notes (very handy for to-do lists), voice commands, built-in IRC support and lots more. It can also identify itself as Opera, IE or Mozilla, so you can fool websites into thinking it's a different browser in case it blocks access for one (a VERY handy feature, that stopped many a page loading with Firefox) It also loads faster and feels cleaner.

Anyway, enough rambling. Anyone else here use Opera? Or have any views on it, positive or negative? I'm open to either

Please do not PM me about bugs on the Adoption Agency. Instead, make a topic in the bugs forum.

I do use Opera, but only as a backup browser. UA Spoofing is bad. Opera may indetify itself as IE but it still has Opera in it. Opera overall is pretty good. Since they removed the ads it looks a lot better. Fast, small and sleek. But I'll still stick to Mozilla Firefox for a LONG time.
