Opera that brilliant browser is now free and without adds. If you go to http://www.opera.com/ you can download the browser that makes Explorer look primitive. I liked it so much that I paid $40 for it, but now you can all experience the joys of this great program without forking out a cent.

I use firefox, why should i use Opera

I've noticed that my Firefox has started crashing on me lately, especially on some of the more advanced websites. It is extremely annoying when I am researching a game, writing an article and trying to watch some streaming trailer at the same time.. and the damn thing blows up in my face.

 

I'm hoping they fix these problems soon.

Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

yeah firefox dont seem to like flash sites or sites that stream embedded movies.

Firefox for the win. I used Opera before but i didn't like thye stupid ads that were on it. I never understood why you want to pay for web browsing software when there is so many free ones out there.

I used Opera before I switched over to Firefox because it's supposed to be more secure. With more people using Firefox now it becomes a more attractive target to hack so I'm not sure how they measure up now.

Spreading beauty with my katana.

I use Firefox or Mozilla, depending on my mood.

Internet Explorer. Never really thought taht browsers made that much of a difference.

They do, IE is the worst of the bunch (IMO) it is the least secure needs the most updates and is the most attacked.

 

Firefox is more secure, has integrated search, a multitude of extremely useful add-ons, tabbed browsing (yay!) customiasble appearance. Minor drawback is that it isnt compatible with a very small percentage of sites.

 

Opera seems to have the same features as Firefox i wouldnt mind trying it but can anyone point out any big differences in the two?

I guess Firefox is getting more and more popular, which means an Opera switch may be on the cards. Firefox is drawing enough attention to itself to start becoming subject to attacks relatively soon methinks.

Sounds like an advertisment to me.

I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.

I see a whole bunch of other posts by them. However, since in one they said

 

"Mmos are brilliant, the friendships you make and the fun of playing as part of a team make this genre the best gaming experience there is, imo."

 

I back the ban! :huh::-

Opera is excellent.

 

With the latest version you can customize the whole interface and make it look like whatever you want. I removed all the useless buttons and added in all the ones I needed. Plus you can adjust opera so that certain movements of the mouse or combimations of keys do certain actions, which makes browsing very easy. It has tabs, a popup blocker, and you can zoom into web pages if your resolution is too high, or tile/cascade the windows to have several websites showing at the same time...... Its an amazing browser. And its a hell of a lot faster than IE.

So you have a "PST is the best" button on your browser now? :p

It should be noted that Firefox is based on Netscape architecture, not the other way around.

 

Other than that, Firefox and Opera are both excellent browser choices.

opera is great. at least 50 times better than IE. never tried firefox or mozilla though...

IE still renders web pages better than any of the other browsers.

 

That is your opinion. Mine is quite the opposite.

But of course everything I state on these forums is pretty much opinions, as does everyone else. >_<

I really don't understand the IE hate. I've used Explorer for almost six years and so far I've had about 3 worms and one troyan. Also, it has never crashed on me. wowzers
