Opera Turbo crashes every single time I use it. Opera also has more rendering issues than any browser I've used. Additionally it's proprietary software, so you can't inspect or change it.

Opera's a decent browser, but it's a trade off of problems. It definitely isn't clearly better than any other major player.


No browser is perfect,I like Opera because so customizable,fast,very stable and they have official 64 bit version which is what I use,plus nowadays very few sites give me any issues (main one I had was some links at websites seemed broken on Opera until I realized it was the popup blocker for content ,easy fixed by right click and changing site preferences),they have always been one of the first to have new ideas,extensions work fine too so another bonus.

I was a Firefox user but just did not like the way Firefox was heading especially with those crazy numbers and nothing really new to the table,Chrome is good for speed but not so customizable like Firefox or Opera.

End of the day Opera gives me no issues and does all that I need it to do, I can't say same thing for Firefox or Chrome for my personal needs.

Lucky we are blessed with lots of third party browsers so you can find one that does what you need it to do.

After a year of Firefox, I uninstalled it last night. Tired of the constant freezing and flash crashes. Using Chrome for the last 24 hrs and am much happier.

I have to agree with you...when I used chromeit felt much snappier and 0 bugs....I feel that we are always in a Beta stage with Firefox...be it a Final version of a Beta, there is always a problem somewhere with this browser Mozilla seems to have lost any sense of Quality Control that it had since the old days of the Trust Firefox 3.6

Have you tried Waterfox?...you might be happy with that.

Waterfox doesn't work with IETAb. So that's a big let down for me which prevents me from using it. What a shame I would've loved using a 64 bit Firefox but I don't want to have more than one browser on my system so I am stuck to Firefox + IE TAB
