Come on Opera, get up there... getup there.

I've finally come up with a selling point to my school friends: bypassing the filter system. Now I just need something for the rest of the world. Widgets anybody? Inbuilt torrent downloader? Speed dial anyone (ctrl+1 = VGChartz)? Mouse movement/button combination shortcuts (if I hold Mouse2 and move my mouse left it jumps the page back)? Complies to standards better than IE or Fx?

One of them must float your boat.

Some reasosn for firefox over oprea

 

  1. the open source of firefox.
  2. add-ons(Widgets)
  3. prefer a seprate torrent downloader
  4. mouse gestures via add-ons
  5. greasemonkey
  6. ad-block

 I've used Firefox and Opera, and with the exception of the torrent downloader I gotta say I prefer Opera over Firefox, if Opera would just get rid of its torrent downloader, I wouldn't use any other browser.

 

I hate the Firefox adblocker (I prefer to use secretmaker), I never enjoyed using Firefox's widgets (Opera has them as well, I never use them), and I love Opera's speeddial and quick link access to my favorite sites, greasmonkey and java scripting works on Opera as well as Firefox, so that isn't a valid reason to use firefox, same with mouse gestures.
