I used to use Firefox, but I can’t stand it anymore since:
- While and also a decent employment of following W3C requirements, it still fails the Acid2 test.
- It leakages memory like nuts.
- It crashes a good deal.
Opera, on the other hand:
- Passes the Acid2 test.
- Is using less memory by using several tabs available than Firefox may just when recently launched.
- Hasn’t crashed (yet).
It really does have some annoyances, like having any much different UI simply by default than Firefox or perhaps IE. I’ve custom-made it heavily in order to my liking, including replacing this default skin which has a skin that looks very much like native Windows EXP (for example, the tabs look like, you know, tabs at this point, not taskbar buttons).
I also can’t stand the error console whatsoever compared to Firefox. Lastly, accesskeys are broken or not even set up by means of default. There’s no keyboard accelerator for any password manager dialog (" do you want to remember this specific password"… it’s " r" inside Firefox and " y" inside IE). But I still gives all that upward for following W3C standards without crashing and employing all 1 GB of my RAM (yes, Firefox has consumed to 600 MB associated with memory at a single occasion for me).
It’s rendering fast because hell, too. And both Opera in addition to Firefox are worlds superior to IE. I used everything day at work today, so I’m hoping it out at your house, too.
Relating to used it quite often, but always revisit Firefox. It is normally over something nit-picky that just irritates my family that makes me make the transition, but both tend to be light years ahead of IE.
Well since I’ve fixed the major gripes, I’m going to put forth the best effort. I used to hate Firefox and revert back to IE, but right now I can’t stand IE.
Major problems I nonetheless have:
- No find-as-you-type, or a minimum of that I can see can be made it possible for.
- Before-mentioned challenges of access secrets and such.
- Tab bar starts at absolute left from the window, not the left from the content area (I hold a bookmarks sidebar open up, so it appears to be strange now).
What is awesome:
- Open a tab from the background, switch to another, and when the first is done loading, its text colour changes to tell you.
- Already reviewed ultra-fast rendering
The tabs were something that I liked to sort it out. My biggest dislike is the lack of extensions (I work with a lot).
Apparently and also have inline researching: type " /" whilst your query.
… yet still no firebug.
Opera’s is in fact cool in of which if there’s multiple matches, it’ll just highlight all of them. Keep typing until you become a unique go with, and then it will do a Firefox-style jump towards item in concern.
I do want you didn’t must type that / initial.
OK, MY SPOUSE AND I downloaded it once more, and my wife will most likely flip, but she hates anything that’s not IE… man will the woman’s head spin when she sees Ubuntu not XP when i get the devices… but I never knew who’s had the particular style sheets.
I have to say, the browser’s actually growing on me after using it exclusively for per day…
I that it too. The initial few times I tried it, I tried to just jump in and work with it, rather than searching to see what it was capable of.
I also like the built in keyboard shortcut, ctrl+alt+v, to be able to validate HTML.
Is there any way for making it do a Firefox-esque prompt when i close a cell phone browser with multiple an eye open
The closest matter I found was only to " Confirm Exit" (Tools > Choices > Advanced > Searching > Confirm exit).
It can’t appear to view XML files in the primary browser window just like in Firefox in addition to IE, which is definitely annoying.
thought you may be interested to know filburt the top part of the web site look weird in my experience on opera.
here is a screenshot
Well since POST posted a line about firefox timing out all the time, plus mr filburt1 saying they are switching to Opera, MY SPOUSE AND I resorted to Opera as well.
All is well for me.
Looks fine to my advice in Opera 9 with the exception of the search field.
Looks fine to my advice too.
i use some sort of browser i made myself a great deal of the time referred to as – ADSBrowser, mainly because i feel cool using my own software, i always code for firefox however, just to be within the safe side.
Solidgold – how did you decide to go about that MY SPOUSE AND I mucked around with all the WebBrowser control, but Possible not figure out how I might say, make my browser xhtml ONE PARTICULAR. 0 compliant and also css 2. 0 compliant, etc..
