Firefox vs Opera

[anthrax]

Which one is best and why?

I've noticed some sites don't look that good in Opera (font in particular)

 

[Mr. dB]

Both have font problems.

But Opera is faster and slicker in my opinion, especially for such a small download. It even installs fast.

 

[BrothaBill]

Im using Opera b/c it seems to be quite a bit speedier than Firefox

 

[jackangel]

firefox because opera is for fags and europeans

[anthrax]

Thanks guys!

Hammy, Opera, just like Firefox, is much safer then IE.....

 

[Spartacus]

Yes. Yes, it's safe. It's so safe you wouldn't believe it.

I pretty sure that when you execute a new browser, it will ask you if you want to use is as a default, and import favorites. It's worth a shot, and you can always switch back to Fox if it doesn't work.

I was thinking that,but I didn't get that option.
too lazy at the moment to read through the help and/or tools to imoprt

I used to switch back and forth between Opera and Firefox for Elite. The clincher was the switch in Opera to 'fit to window width' as someone kept send me huge K pictures. I haven't noticed any font problems but I'm on a Mac so haven't used IE for comparison in a very long time. My main browser alternative is Safari but Elite isn't compatible with it.

Opera is an easier GUI IMO, but Fox is faster it seems.

 

[Spartacus]

on second thought I'll keep opera sterile,fresh and clean and free of sinful porn
so when I have a chick over I'll keep opera open and the nasty fox stashed away
chicks are so nosy

Use TweakUI, set it up so that at every logon all recent documents and other files of that nature are wiped.

I use Opera and have been for the past couple years. It's pretty solid. I do like all of the little tweaks you can do with it. BTW, File, import, import firefox bookmarks should get them.

Eat them.

Of course every system is different but Opera is much faster in comparison to firefox given the reports that I read. That was the only reason why I switched to Opera was the difference in speed of loading. Plat preview doesnt work for me though with Opera

I'm up and running continously
I rarely log off

 

[Dial_tone]

I use firefox. everytime i think about installing Opera I think about firefox (and big asses) and think......why bother? I used to use Opera on Unix. the fonts were always tiny and the plugins (flash, acrobat) were crappy so it just killed it for me.

btw, click on this link
http://www.opera.com/

It explains opera and its download there. Test it yourself for speed, I dont gussy up my browsers so the 'need for speed' is everything.

It takes like dB said like less than two minutes to setup. Boots up and try it out. its a 3.4MB file so no reason not to check it out. Download and it configures easily
