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%

What the fuck! its not "a very old web broswer'

OP:

I use it. its fucking awesome. competes with FF3 but FF2 was better. FF3 was total shit so I had to switch.
Uhm im not sure any advice to give you. Install the spell check files and use the Speed Dial feature its really reallyy helpful.

 

Opera came out in 1996, 12 years ago! I didn't mean it as if was bad, I ment it was old!

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

 

 It is Mozilla Firefox, but Mozilla has had many browsers in the past.

Firefox owns all other browsers and then sends the firefox fox to defecate on them

 

 Looks like someone hasn't used Opera...

Yeah, I use Opera, in fact, one could say that I'm an Opera fanboy ;). Opera is the fastest browser out there, it offers many features that other browsers don't, and it invented tabbed browsing (and is, to my knowledge, the only one that actually does tabs properly.

 But are you aware that he is not using the 1996 version, right? The latest version is the 9.51, updated in July 3, 2008... thats ten days ago!

Same can be said about Internet Explorer... is available since 1995.

^no its not bad,its just not to popular,so does it work good?

It seems to be faster than Internet Explorer 7 at loading VG Chartz.

Just about everything other than netscape is faster than loading VGC than IE. (but I've heard safari is not really good).

I'm with him. I've been using Opera since before version 6.0 (and actually paid for it when it wasn't free) with only a brief affair with Firefox to break that streak.

my favorite browser is Safari, followed by Camino (FireFox for the Mac).

With Firefox 3 out, I will probably start using that more then Camino. Safari is still my favorite however.
