Opera vs. Chrome and Mozilla

Postby maximianusherculius » Fri Feb 05, 2010 9:24 pm

So what is the deal with Opera? I only recently heard of it. In what way is it more advantageous than Chrome or Mozilla, if at all?

It's just a browser,you can keep it or not cause it's not like having 2 av programs.They don't conflict with each other.
A fool with an antivirus tool is still a fool.
If you can't convince them, confuse them.

Its personal choice I think, whatever you feel comfortable using. I did do a brief spell using Opera just because it had a built in mail client and needed to keep up with emails at the time more then normal, however it doesn't stack up against Firefox with Add ons for me.

I used Opera for a while, it was good, but I prefer to use Firefox, for all of the security add-ons.

If you're concerned about the Firefox memory leak problem, use Flock. It's a version of firefox with the memory leak fixed, and you can still use most of the add-ons.

Yeah, I like Firefox for security but I like Chrome for raw speed and simplicity. I have never tried Opera.

I have Opera (Unite) installed on Linux Mint, at home.

I feel that Opera is a different kind of browser. It has BitTorrent and Email client built-in.
Did you see the 10.50 on lifehacker - it has an all-transparent theme.

(I think):
- Opera cannot installed addons, which makes it less vunerable.
- Less security holes.

I love firefox 3.7 (alpha). It's as fast as chrome and is compatible with all my addons.
