And as I said in the other thread, opera does NOT have a problem with youtube. I've been using it for years on youtube.

... YOUR Opera does not have an issue with Youtube, mine does.

Are you missing flash or something?

As I said in the Opera thread, I love Opera but it fails at rendering properly.

can you give me an example of such a site? if that site fails to render properly, then even though Opera doesn't render it properly, the site's code is buggy. Opera is one of the only browsers that pass all the web standards test.

anyway, opera version 9.5 is coming out soon with a completly new engine. fastest browser out there without a doubt.


do i really need to mention that i use opera?

wtf? what version are you using? i have had opera open with like 20 tabs for around an hour. it is consuming 40MBs.

9.5b.

Youtube fails to render properly.

well you're using a beta. why do you expect it to be perfect nad bugfree? the current version is 9.25.

Heavy flashsites like rr.com (roadrunner) takes opera much longer to load than FF or IE. I posted this in the opera forums about a year ago and got no response at all, and none of the fixes I tried worked. Other people I had test out the site had the very same issues with rr.com, in fact the slightly older version of opera took around 10 seconds to render the page and even when done loading it didn't display properly (tried on 2 systems with completely different configs). The newest version of opera renders it correctly but the speed is still not there compared to FF or IE. It seems to only be with heavy flash sites though and other than that I would probably switch (even though I'm careful about flash-security and various sites).

weird. i'm using v9.25. compared opera to the latest IE and went to rr.com. opera was quicker for me by about 5 seconds. you sure you're using the latest version of flash player?

Why are people so concerned over what is really a negligibly larger memory footprint? This isn't 1998...4GB of ram can be had for under $100...

I think Safari is the best of all because it's sleek, loads fast and uses the least resources, the only problems I've had is WMP applications sometimes don't load.

firefox full-time, mostly because it has three extensions: AdBlock Plus, All-In-One Gesture, and NoScript.

It's amazing surfing the web without bombarded with advertisings. I tried Opera, but it doesn't seem to have a simple ads blocking.

SeaMonkey on my PCs, Safari on my Macs.

I hate Firefox, and keep IE around for testing.

IE for my main browsing
anything else for "questionable" websites(I have ff and opera installed)

I see nothing wrong with IE. Its fast for me and it actually display things properly like how most people want them. I don't understand why people claim its unresponsive. I'm running a P4 with SDRAM and there is no lag for me. FF/Opera appear to display pages quicker because IMO they start loading the page bit by bit but IE loads it all at the same time. By the time the entire page is loaded, all the browsers take about the same time...

Firefox, IE for incompatible sites.

I have opera as backup.

I had been using Firefox + IE extension on my last home computer. But I installed the IE7Pro add-on on my work computer and found it works fairly well (mouse gestures, download manager, session recovery, adblock, tab history, inline search and a few other things). I like it, so now that's all I'm using on the new home computer I bought last week. I use the vista sidebar (google desktop a work), so that takes care of ForecastFox and few other firefox extensions I would have normally installed.

Wow, i never realized how small the IE memory footprint becomes when minimized. my firefox stays at over 100mb almost all the time with 5 or more tabs open.

I just wish IE had some of the neat plugins that firefox has.
