Forums - PC Discussion - I just downloaded Opera

Does anyone else here use Opera?

Any advice for a new user?

Opera is the same web browser as the Nintendo Wii. It is a very old Web Browser and only 1.7% of the people with internet use it.

IE7 27%
IE6 26.5%
IE5 .5%
Firefox 41%
Mozilla .5%
Safari 2.6%
Opera 1.7%

Safari 3 is the fastest web browser
Firefox 3 is the second fastest
IE is next
Opera is next (The slowest browser that isn't based off another one)



I only use opera on my wii, I think it's all right



same I only have Opera on my Wii, I dont know how the pc version stacks up.



I thought Firefox was "Mozilla Firefox"...... What's the other Mozilla browser?

OP:
I don't use Opera, but Gearbox makes it sound obsolete. :p It's a very fast, modern web browser that runs well on slower, low memory machines (like the Wii, cell phones, pdas, etc.). Firefox 3 has just managed to beat it in performance, but the Opera team is pretty dedicated and each new version is faster. Opera also helped popularize browser tabs, gestures and a number of other features. It's a cool browser, but I still stick with FF.

wfz:
The other Mozilla browser is most likely "Seamonkey" the old Mozilla suite browser.

What do you mean by "very old Web Browser"?  Is that a bad thing?  I'm using version 9.51, and it seems to have a lot of good features.

You also seem to imply that it's bad that only 1.7% of people use it.

What makes you say Firefox 3 performs better?  I tried Firefox for awhile (not sure what version anymore), but it wasn't displaying some webpages correctly.  Have they fixed that this time around?
