Chrome vs. Opera?

[Oyvoyvoyv]

Well, I like both these browsers. A few good things and bad things (other than the ones you obviously know).

Also, they are pretty much exactly as fast. I've done some testing on opening up things (like 200 boxarts on Gamerankings, that's 1MB), and they are as good as totally equal in speed. There are other things you should look at than speed.

 

Opera:

 

Positive

- Very reliable, doesn't shut down a lot.

- Easy to download newer flash player or things that don't come with Opera

- Customisable.

 

Negative:

- Wants you to upgrade all the time, if you don't, it will keep hassling you about it, and there is very little change from update to update

- Easy to mess up and delete what you have written and such, due to a hell of a many shortcuts (like ctrl M exitted Opera and all the pages you where on if you on 9.52) If you use some time though, it should be piece of cake to get used to/change those hotkeys.

- Sometimes uses a few seconds to start up, perhaps more if your computer is slow.

 

Chrome

- Opens up instantly

- Uses even less Ram than Opera (although this doesn't matter a lot)

 

Negatives:

- Unreliable, can shut down, or just mess up.

- Not nearly as easy to download updates to flash players and such.

- You can encounter some issues if you try to download things, such as it suddenly saying you should download it through Google (which is impossible), and not letting you download it.
