Opera is simply the best. Opera is so good that many people choose quality over price and buy it. In Japan it has even a box version. Good things costs money. I wonder how much people would use FF if it would cost 39$

BTW… Netscape would never be free (and Mozilla/FF wouldn’t even exist), if Microsoft wouldn’t use monopoly practices in 90’s. Think about it ;P

So let me get this straight…The ‘free’ version of Opera has advertising?

There are add-on extensions for Mozilla and Firefox that block adverts, and they install very easily. Takes an average of 10 seconds, and no advertisements in the viewing area of the browser.

But wait, a ‘free’ version of a browser that has an advert is intended to seperate the haves from the have nots, the people who can’t afford to pay for software and those that can. In short, a dividing line.

The days of paying for an internet browser are over. It’s just too bad that the maker’s of Opera haven’t caught-on.

Sounds like ‘octet-stream’ which usually is set so it wont display downloadable files as text as some people forget to set within apache and other such webservers. It’s pretty norm

Yeah, Opera is the fastest and the best browser I know. I was using Mozillia for 6 months and tried FireFox too – FF is overrated, not finished product. Maybe FireFox 2.0 will be usable, we will see.

Doesn’t have anything firefox and its collection of extentions can’t provide.

fastest? meh … found firefox to be faster (this was ater being a diehard opera user for over a year).

I found opera to be overbloated resource wise and had more HTML markup problems (fault of site designers who code in frontpage and think everyone must view the world in IE with a resolution of 800×600 on XP) in opera than I do with firefox

Just launched? I was using 7.54 for a while, at least a few months. The thing was really screwy too, every time i went to a site it would ask “What would you like to do with this file” and it was some really wierd type. Something to do with ocelet something..Who knows.
And the thing crashed often too.
I found a preview release 5 (i think) on suprnova for 7.60, so far so good.
