Opera Blows...

[vrbaba]

it has problems with cookies, some webpages just look like sh1t. (try http://tv.yahoo.com)
Ad Blocking sucks...

and they wanted people to pay for it before yesterday??

I like it, works fine for me. To each his own I suppose

After spending hours making it look and feel like a browser should, it rendered pages inconsistantly so I just stopped using it. It's a shame because it's faster and has a smaller memory footprint than Firefox.

i use it and am quite happy with it

bah, IE>j00

But the real question is, will Opera swallow?

Hours?
It took me two minutes to make it look like this.

damnit another negative... in Gmail the javascripted box that shows you your intended recipient as you start typing in the "TO" box ... (autofill, basically) ... doesn't work. :| I can live with a couple quirks but they are starting to add up.

Just went to Mets.com and the streaming video had remnants of the banner just before it plays... never happened with FF or IE. And it fuX0red the tables a bit there with "|" symbols in the middle of where they shouldn't be.

I tried it for about two minutes. Didn't like it. Back to FireFox

and you were won over by FF in two minutes? :roll: give me a break, it took a few days before i was hooked, at least...

I just installed it, my trusty IE has been locking up pretty frequently yesterday and today.

 

[Kalbi]

if it really blows for real i'd put it between my legs

 

[Nick5324]

I wouldn't go as far as to say it blows, but I think I'm sticking with FF. It does seem to have problems with some javascript boxes. It rendered IGN and CBS Sportsline completely wrong the first time, then i reloaded them and it worked. Not a huge deal, but why should i have to load websites twice? I'll continue to use it here and there, give it a chance.

this is strange...it works on opera on my desktop, but i just installed opera on my lappy and having the same problem.

 

[rh71]

anything in Opera like the downloadthemall extension for FF ?

 

[zebano]

Hmm very few problems for me. MSN is one, but I avoid them anyway. Then again, I've been using opera at home since before firefox came out.
