I was disappointed with versions 4, 5, and 6 of the Opera web browser...

but the beta version of Opera 7 (except for a few kinks) rocks.

And what happened to the advertisement banners? They are nowhere to be found, even though I have not upgraded my Opera 5 & 6 subscription.

Crashes a lot on my pc. Especially if I click on a link in an email and it opens Opera. Instant poofter.

I liked 6 the best. 7.02 beta doesn't seem to be compatible with windows themes? Specifically themes using the "hacked" uxtheme.dll

IE6 doesn't crash on me and I don't get any MS popups.

I hated version 6 so much that uninstalled Opera from my HDD.

Ad free for the first 14 days.

I like it ok but it doesn't like to print on my printer or work with a numbe of websites. Specifically one I need for work. Which really sucks as it is a lot faster than IE is on my machine.

I just use the nightly builds of Mozilla now.

Why do people use Opera? I just downloaded it and already came across two sites that don't work. One of them was a drop down menu that is compatible with Netscape 3.0, IE, and Mozilla ..

Opera = good pr0n browser since u can minimize all ur windows or close them in one click, plus popups dont get outa hand....btw, u didnt hear that from me.

I like Opera's interface, but its CSS and DOM implementation still leaves a bit to be desired, even in version 7. It's improving though, previous versions were pretty awful in that area. I like Mozilla better as an alternative browser to IE.

Do those who bought 6.xx get 7 free? Not sure if I want to buy Opera again.. CrazyBrowser is working awesome.

I'm not too big on the Opera 7 interface...I prefer the 6.x series myself. Just seems to be much more organized and looks the way (I think) a browser should look. The ad banners are annoying, but I qualify for their Global Donations Program so I get free licenses to their browsers Can't beat the popup killer and the Google toolbar right in the address bar, plus their email client can't be beat.

i gave opera a test drive back in opera 5 i believe. it sucked. hard.


now.im.back.to.IE.

yeah its microsoft crap, but who cares, its dominating, and so i'll use it too. i can use netscape as well, but no opera for me.

phoenix all the way, mozilla features and less bloat...

I use Opera 6.05 (and previous versions) and love it. I have 7.0 installed but do not enjoy it as much; just bothers me in some ways.

Every so often I run across some sites where I have to rely on IE, but not too many. And, I bet in most cases, it isn't much of an Opera problem, but people used poor HTML skills.

I just love how you can have the windows organized, how the bookmarks and mail are figured out. Easier to customize things.

and this is an advantage over mozilla, how?

This is why I like Opera:

Tabbed browsing, personal CSS application to ANY page, full and decent cookie management, pop-up window management, in page zoom, an adequate help system, a Save as feature that actually works, a find feature that allows subsequent searches without the damn find box up, built-in customizable web searching, skinning, abundant keyboard shortcuts and user-defined mappable key commands, better bookmark system, download management with auto-resume, ability to toggle on/off multiple settings like "enable java" with a keypress and a click, ability to resume your browsing exactly where you left off with all pages pre-loaded and ready to go, very fast page rendering.

Agreed. I used Opera, way back before Mozilla came out, for normal surfing, and I loved it. Popups were super controllable in Opera, as opppsed to the giant mess they were in IE. Now I used Mozilla for my everyday surfing.
