Difference between Opera and Firebird?

[Howard]

I might consider switching over if the benefits outweigh the cons...

Firebird is free, supports extensions, tabs, mouse gestures etc

 

[Howard]

Extensions?

Other than that, Opera has those features you mentioned.

Nope.

Mozilla/Firebird is faster at page rendering than Opera.

Mozilla and firebird are skinable too.

TWO WORDS: MOUSE GESTURES!!!!!

ive use them both on cable and and 10base lan and opera is faster alot faster. and it doesnt look like crap

mozilla/firebird looks WAY too bland. its just to plain and square lookin. kind of hard to explain. but IE looks better maby thats fixed now i didnt know it was skinable

and opera has mouse jestures and they are built in

Firebird has Adblock extension! You can filter out ads by using wildcards. 🙂

I used both on my 100mbit lan with cable modem access. Mozilla/Firebird out performed Opera (7.20) by a wide margin. Not only that but Opera has serious formatting issues on many sites, including AnandTech.

IE looks like crap compared to Mozilla/Firebird.

Mouse gestures are built into Mozilla/firebird too.

I didn't mind Opera at first, but the formatting and other annoyances caused me to switch to a browser that was faster and didn't crash .

the fat lady fits in the opera,
but it's hard to get her into a firebird
