I switched from ff3 to opera

^ it crashes on me too, sometimes i'll just scroll a window and then it'll screw up out of nowhere

it probably has something to do with my computer being trash, but other than that opera's literally the best browser i've tried out

Quote from: Rob HalfordVisually, it\\\'s a big difference. Unfortunately for Microsoft, the score is virtually the same, and it lags extremely far behind the competition on that test in particular.

the IE dev team could probably care less, buuuuut as younger people get online and start using browsers other than IE they\\\'re going to have to give them a reason to switch back

ff passed ie usage in europe for the first time this week http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser-eu-dail...080701-20090412

I tried opera once but the interface sucked shit and it didn't let me import my stuff from firefox and when I ctrl-clicked a link it wouldn't let me open a "background tab"

the interface works exactly like all other tabbed browsers except it's not ugly and has practical functionality

if you can't figure out how to import your firefox settings you're retarded

aaaaaaaaaand opera uses shift for tabs but can be easily changed in the preferences

you dumb

idiot

you're confusing opera with drama
geez you don't have to make a soap opera out of this
the browser just doesn't seem easy to operate
... I ran out of puns

sure I took it up a notch but I'm familiarized with firefox and it's perfectly clean & practical for me

Quoteif you can't figure out how to import your firefox settings you're retarded

I admit I don't have a clue on how to import my bookmarks & cookies when your installation screen is just dragging the opera logo into an applications folder
plus I searched the opera help things and didn't find that there either

Quoteaaaaaaaaaand opera uses shift for tabs but can be easily changed in the preferences

opera uses "command" to open a new tab but it brings you to that tab automatically and that's what I was talking about, I just figured I'd say control because command and control are pretty much the same for mac and windows respectively.

ctrl+shift opens a tab in the background, shift takes you to the new tab

I love Opera, but Vista hates it. I can't fullscreen anything like youtube, I can't open up PDFs in the browser, and I can't send e-mail from my school account.

opera becomes often non responsive to me, and i get easily annoyed by that

also i like the search find feature better in ff than in opera

it wouldve been easier if opera had an auto import feature to import other browser settings yes, but then again its not that really hard cause you just need to export your settings into a new html file from that browser youre replacing... but still

as for a bookmark toolbar, you will have to manually add that in opera by activating "personal bar"

thats all the complaints i got so far
