After 20 years of computing, I have never felt inclined to get into the programming side of things, but as far as sheer usage (KISS, keep it simple and sweet)
I have pretty well checked them all out !
So to put it simply Opera’s philosophy does it all for me !
LOVE IT.

To Jeffry Thurana,

Thanx for your clear and concise review, I am an Opera 10 fan, and to cap it off I enjoyed your phylosophical stance at the end,

best regards,

neville.

Great review, to decide whether to install Opera 10, have used opera as default for 3-4 yrs, I like it very much but 6 mths ago moved back to FFox 3.5, reason being about 10pc of websites I visit not loading properly. This spoils continuity when I have several tabs open, then having to use FF to view another site. This lack of continuity wasted time often losing track of which browser has which sites open.
The FFox 3.5 version has greatly improved speed now, only using 4 extensions, so is now my default. But I do prefer Opera for its flexable interface and usability. Its just that it wastes my time when sites don’t load properly. Yes this is the website code not Opera’s fault.
Opera 10 has an email client but I will always use Pegasus. BitTorrent I hardly need, Turbo sounds good but it renders compressed images badly and some sites not at all, have a fast connection so not needed. Networking files between friends ? I don’t think so, they will be busy at the time so a memory stick or CD usually an email link so they can work in their own time.
As my new OS (XP) installation is blindingly fast and loading in 13 seconds, I am limiting overwieght programs like Acrobat, all things Microsoft, Nero etc, I am beginning to think maybe not install Opera. Jury is out at the moment.

I’ve tried Chrome too. But I uninstalled it within 10 minutes. It’s just way too simple feature wise.

How would this compare to Google Chrome? Anyone had experience with both?

Well, it’s great thing that they added some features in it. Because before, I heard that Opera was not as good as others like Firefox and etc. At least now, we discover some of the new features in Opera V10 and will surely help us more.

Ranting? Whatever you like to call it, someone has to say something lest the masses actually take the nonsense Opera users spout for the “truth”.

Well then thanks for ruining this discussion for me. Your insistence on the “truth” is not at all productive. We all praise the ease and convenience of speed dial, and because someone said Opera was the first, you have to start ranting and won’t let up. I certainly won’t continue enabling you.

Oh, so you finally realize that it isn’t something of Opera’s creation?
I’m not the one saying that browsers ‘steal’ stuff here, it’s you ‘people’.
I won’t go anywhere until you stop crying about stuff that were made before Opera even existed and chanting “proper attribution only counts after Opera added it!”.

If you want a timesaver, try keywords or a proper addressbar.
Another time-saver, if you’re one of those who only ever visit three websites is to set a proper homepage to always have those sites loaded.
