holy shit osx doesn't run at 5fps anymore
Do tell me sir of the benefits of this Opera
are you running 9.6 or 10 beta
I use proxy only on opera, so it kind of balances out to dial up speed
Quote from: rtilare you running 9.6 or 10 beta
9.6
ok good
10 still needs some quirks fixed
but it is gonna be the first browser released to the public that got 100% on the acid3 test
opera is awesome
Quote from: Animegameropera is awesome
more importantly my site looks the way it's supposed to in opera
to be fair it does in firefox too but still f u firefox
i switched to opera
so far so good
plus it has the zoom function like a normal browser should have

ie6 more like worst browser in history

That was my point.
I've upgraded to IE8 but if people keep telling me it sucks over an extended period of time, I might switch...

Internet explorer is the shittiest browser I've ever used, Microsoft should be ashamed
on second thought, they probably are
8 is a huge step up from 7. but it's still bad
IE isn't too bad, at least it can access the internet.

I have. It's been pissing me off. But I can't access my virtual college classes in Opera and I refuse to use IE.

good alternative browsers have the option to mask themselves as other browsers, forcing those sites to attempt to render. it works by spoofing header information.
to do it in opera, right click anywhere on the site you want to trick, click "edit site preferences", go to the Network tab and change the browser identification to whatever you need.
you may be able to access your college classes this way

Nope... Damn. O well. No biggie.
of course now I have to have two browsers open because opera breaks facebook and safari breaks everything but facebook
facebook works in opera for me, but you should try the browser masking thing . then again all browsers perform differently on macs, usually worse
Quote from: rtilie6 more like worst browser in history
I could never figure out why it took Microsoft so long to create IE7. IE6's dominance was so hurtful to the PNG file format. >_<
Quote from: rtil8 is a huge step up from 7. but it's still bad
Good to hear IE8 is a major upgrade. Maybe I can actually get that stupid browser to install on my computer. >_> I could never get IE7 to install because I refuse to disable my firewall for a web browser installation. :/ Does anyone here have any idea why Microsoft requires people to disable their firewalls just to install their shitty browser?
I didn't need to take down anything for IE7 or 8. Just asked me to close out IE before it did the upgrade.
I'm really impressed with 8 'cause it hasn't crashed at all like IE7 used to on a daily basis
Maybe I shouldn't be so impressed 'cause it shouldnt've been crashing like that in the first place.
i'm impressed with 8 because it has huge leaps in w3c compliance from 7, making life as a web designer a little easier
on a side note i noticed with opera's adblocking features it skips ads on most video sites like hulu and colbert nation

gotta hand it to 'em, it's a big improvement
that and IE8 actually passes acid2 perfectly
now they have the monumental task of porting all their IE6+7 users to 8
the one thing IE has always lacked is a notification of a new version
Visually, 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.
Opera keeps crashing on me but it doesnt delete all my fucking bookmarks and passwords like firefox
^ 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

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 (http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser-eu-daily-20080701-20090412)
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
Quote from: rtilthe interface works exactly like all other tabbed browsers except it's not ugly and has practical functionality
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
