I noticed something...

[pokemonfan]

Opera sounds funny and lame...firefox sounds cool. I dont know much about opera though.

i hate to go off topic, but Opera is like %#$% to me because for example, lets say you want to play an app on facebook Mafia Wars.

When you want to invite friends to your mafia you don't see it o.o. on firefox & ie you can see it.

Then use Firefox for that one purpose :/

At least try it.
A lot of people only go with Firefox because it is mainstream, try something else, something better.

Don't hate something before you try it.

Opera is actually one of the better browsers out there... but I never used it before. I should give it a spin.

im, just showing an example
i just don't like opera, it lacks some stuff that i want as a feature.

With that being said i assume that it also depends on what PC you are using. However for my laptops i use Firefox.

i like firefox because it has so many plug-in AIO, PDF download, ad-block, Flashgot and Google Preview make Firefox the best browser , ever ^^

Opera has all those things :/
Also, Firefox is nowhere near the best browser ever.

Ad-Block is built in to opera, PDF download is in IE for heavens sake o.o
In opera you can also get plugins, but most of them are games, because Opera already has so many features.

I tried Opera, and... eh. It's not very good. Why its the browser for my Wii, I do not know.

Firefox 3 is the closest thing to the best browser ever compared to the rest for me. Doesn't use up a lot of memory(that was Firefox 2) and the addons just make the difference compared to everything else out there. Ad-Block Plus + NoScript = Win. (It can also be faster than Opera if you know what settings to use)

As for that article, it was accurate... back in 05 when it was written lol

IE is still the mainstream browser, people have been trying out Firefox and loving it and making the switch.

Firefox 3 does still use a lot of memory.
Most of the plugins Firefox uses are built into Opera. eg. Chatzilla, or the imitation Speed Dial plugin (forgot its name)

There are also some settings in Opera you can change to speed it up.

Is there anyway we could actually get this thread back on topic?

I demand proof!
I've tried both and Firefox > Opera
I ran some benchmarks similar to the following:
http://avencius.nl/content/firefox-3...0-memory-usage
And my results are similar.
P.S.
mIRC > Chatzilla

That is opera 9.5 which is outdated.
That evidence is nullified.


Agreed with the bold part

[4evil]

1,000,000k Mem Usage.

When it says certain web browsers which ones does it mean?
i could say Firefox because its a MEM eater

What are those problems with editing?
I was lagging hardcore once when editing on Firefox.
Switch to IE to finish editing, it didn't lag at all.
