Likewise, I am using opera as my main browser. It is very fast and safe to use. It loads so quickly especially when you are going to return from your previous visited pages. I also used IE and mozilla firefox for sometime. There are some websites that cannot be opened by opera, so I used them too. Have a nice day and God speed!

I use Opera always. I have old versions (3.0, 3.5, for exemple). This is a great browser program, you can open various sites together, using a poor memory. Internet Explorer or Firefox are no better options.

I haven't tried Opera for my internet browser. Until I read your post, I had never even heard of a browser with the name of Opera!

i tried opera but its performance is quite less than that of firefox but some features works fine like opera uses chache in very fine way it tries to minimize your bandwidth used while in case of firefox even you open same page again it regains maximum of items of page from server which imparts more use of bandwidth but i love firefox due to its lots of plungins and addons provided to enhance your online experience.

I definitely use Firefox. Not because of the hype but because of its quality. I don't deny Opera's awesomeness, but I don't really need a lot of the extra stuff they have. I know that FF will render correctly and it is fast so I like that. Both are significantly better than IE!!

Nice Answer....But the last time I checked(Dont remember the Website) and also with my observations.....Opera loads pages faster and also has a significantly fast startup. About the extra features....I use them a lot , it increases my browsing speed a lot.... Yup IE sucks big time , especially IE 7

I tried opera a few years ago, then went back to it a few months ago when I read about the voice feature. I admit that the voice feature is nice, but I prefer Firefox like some others here. It has nothing to do with the hype, Firefox is a very flexible browser thanks to its numerous extensions. Also, it is lighter than opera. As far as I remember, Opera comes with an email reader as well. Personally, I prefer these 2 programs to be separate. As for IE, let's just pass.

ONe of our computers has opera. We found it really nice but we still use firefox on the other computers. Opera has nice features But we don't usually use them that much, so we're sticking with the one that has worked the best for us.

Thanks for the tip. I have not tried it. I think I should give it a try at some future point of time. My experience with Firefox has not been that satisfying. Despite big claims regarding its superiority, I did not find anything special in it. It is the same glitches as are with regard to other browsers.
