Opera Blows...

This another guy talking bad about his mother?

FF is alright, but opera has more capabilities. Try to use the mouse guesture shortcuts, you will find that you can't live without them after a while. They do everything you need to do.

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

May have to get a patch.

I was playing with it yesterday (because it's free if you get a code today) and I did not like it. Ctrl+Shift+Enter doesn't work to add www.___.org to what you type in. That's weak right there. Then the adblocking is awful.

Just type the word and hit enter and it should fill it in. Works for me.

I'd take Opera over Firefox or IE any day, but hey, it's good to have choices.

It's too bad there aren't any browsers that are perfect, but Opera is the closest (for me).

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

You sure those guys are your buddies?

I thought this said Operah Blows

[Pabster]

ROFLMAO

It has taken you this long to realize Opera is a POS?

 

[Anubis]

opera is and always has been the best browser of them all, ive been using it sence about version 4.5

and that page you linked looks EXACTLY THE SAME IN IE AND OPERA - 3200x1200 image - scroll right

that is opera 7.5 also, version 8 improved tables a ton

Ad Blocking sucks...

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

why when I click the link does it not work but when I go to yahoo and then click on the tv link does it???

fixed, now tell me if it does
and check ur actual listings, not just the tv front page...compare with firefox.

yeah i have tried two different versions, but both times i've gone back to firefox. I love the quicknes of opera, but the interface isnt productive .

opera is pretty nice. if it only handled bookmarks like FF/IE did then it would be perfect but i guess i'll have to stick with FF

how does it do bookmarks differently?

create bookmark - click on bookmark - go to page

same way IE does it anyway

You need to remove the ) from the link for it to work

i'm talking about the ability of linking a bookmarks folder to a toolbar. i tried it and it just doesn't work right. that feature is crucial to my browsing habits

o and for you ad haters, use either opera ad filter or ad muncher, both are free, both work great

admuncher is a seperate program and kills adds for evrything, OAF is like an addon

Explain in greater detail

You can pull out the bookmarks panel, can create a tab with your bookmarks, etc

no i mean linking a toolbar to the contents of a bookmarks folder, so whatever is in the bookmarks folder show on the toolbar and vice versa. and you can add/delete bookmarks and folders onto the toolbar easily

Opera on my V600 kicks tremendous amounts of ass.
Firefox and Opera2Go (is that what J2ME opera is called?) > *
