- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+120seriously... as long as we're not using explorer, we're on the same team.
- ChrisGranger, on 10/12/2007, -6/+88I'm a Firefox fanboy and I'm still digging you down. Good job.
- Copperhe4d, on 10/12/2007, -11/+61i use Firefox but i think that this "browser war" is really childish.
stupid geeks :/ - CBTF, on 10/12/2007, -6/+51Righhhht, because i'm sure that people using opera have never heard of firefox before...
- spiffytech, on 10/12/2007, -5/+39Hooray! I've been using the betas for several weeks and the speed dial doesn't look like much until you start using the Ctrl-# shortcuts to call your favorite pages. That's where it really shines. Congratulations to the Opera team for getting 9.2 out!
- jamesmar, on 10/12/2007, -26/+51Opera kicks ass. Why bother with anything else?
- bigfkncee, on 10/12/2007, -6/+31you use IE?
- greatblackowl, on 10/12/2007, -1/+24It is possible, you know, to have both Firefox and Opera on one computer.
In fact, I'm downloading and installing Opera right now!
Plus, why is there even an Opera Vs. Firefox flame war? - yahoofrom, on 10/12/2007, -1/+24http://www.opera.com
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20I like both browsers but i actually find opera's adblocking more effective to be honest
- diggfinity, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20what ever browser fits you the best is the best
- wounded625, on 10/12/2007, -8/+27Opera is doing great! I just tried it out today for the first time, but I went back to Firefox. Opera is a great browser, but I couldn't get it to block Google and text ads, only Flash ads. If someone can tell me how to do this, I'd gladly try it again.
- ih8apple, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18I have been using Opera since it went ad-free, and I have just one question. Why doesn't this browser have a bigger market share? You would think that, especially among new users of the Internet, having all of the features you could ever possibly need (and they are stable), would attract the masses. What advantage does firefox have over opera? None, in my opinion.
- rmccabe916, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17Opera's next big plan is to have all of their browsers (desktop, mobile, Wii, etc.) interconnected with one another so you can have your settings saved wherever you are, such as bookmarks and hopefully RSS feeds as well. The next few versions of Opera for the desktop and Opera Mini are likely to be heading in that direction, and I expect a more accelerated pace as they are developed.
- thecosmicpope, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18Ok lets ignore the silly browser wars please. I love Opera and I use Firefox as a backup. I dont feel the need to go into Firefox pages and start a war, so please dont do it here, ok?
This latest update is lovely. Speed Dial is a great feature altho it took me a little while to get used to it. Another good setup forward. Now, give me better ad blocking and I'm in heaven! - TenebrousX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17YOU'RE WRONG!
- thecosmicpope, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18I use Opera with all of those you mentioned with no problem at all.
- Richardgm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Best unknown feature? Ctrl + Z for all your opps-I-should-not-have-closed-that-tab needs.
- wounded625, on 10/12/2007, -8/+21Why am I being dugg down? I just want to know how to do it because I couldn't figure it out. Looks like you don't want another Opera user.
- JohnDGeek, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14I am an Opera Fan boy myself. I do think however the icon for Opera needs a revamp.

- rmccabe916, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Here's a tutorial that shows you how to block Google ads in Opera (don't mind the site though :P )
http://techgurls.blorc.com/2006/07/10/how-to-block-google-ads-in-opera-9/ - HideoKojima, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14Let's see how long it takes the Firecrap dev team to rip off Opera's new features
- ahill7, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15With Opera making such strides in development, can we expect to see an accelerated roadmap for Opera Mini? I know they recently jumped to v3.0, but is it reasonable to see the next milestone very soon? I ask this although I don't use Opera on my desktop, Opera Mini is great for PalmOS.
- angrycat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Opera has always been the innovator.
- cninja, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Right click on the page, select "Block Content", choose "Details". Add "http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/*". Done
At least thats what works for me.
Edit:
Or read the above url - nayr, on 10/12/2007, -4/+14Could someone explain what these new features are? the names are hardly self explanatory.... Speed Dial could be a time machine for all I know.
- bmartin, on 10/12/2007, -6/+17@jamesmar: You're ignorant. Each browser has its perks. I use Swiftfox at home and Firefox at work (stupid Windows). I use it for the same reason I use Fluxbox, Linux, Gentoo, etc. They're clean, fast, and modular. Opera is the KDE of browsers: full of buttons and lots of preferences. Opera has more functionality by default and Firefox has a ton of extensions. Some people like to go from the bottom up; others like their defaults set for them.
I'll promote anything decent (basically anything that's not IE). - Emperial, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Great browser. Opera all the way :D
- angrycat, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12Go ***** yourself *****.
- hcl40u, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Opera already has most of the "extensions/addons" I need built in by default so for me there is little need for extensions.
- JohnDGeek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I've used it so much while browsing. My friends always ask me how I got a closed page back so fast and that usually is enough to get them to switch.
- yahoofrom, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Good to know what Opera is doing... their innovation coming to my Firefox browser soon!
- sonyx, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Who dares to surf porn with FF or IE? Not me. Opera for safe browsing!
- hcl40u, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7No it doesn't download the ad. Obviously it will download the ad before you block it but just try refreshing the page after blocking an ad and the ad should be blocked period.
- viiskis, 2 hr 32 min ago, -7/+14Check this one!!! Digg on speed dial http://www.opera.com/img/products/desktop/screenshots/speeddial.jpg

http://www.myspace.com/chooseopera - rmccabe916, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Here's how to install an Ajax real-time spellchecker in Opera:
http://operawatch.com/news/2007/03/ajax-spell-checker-in-opera.html - gaervern, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7You need to have another browser in addition to Opera for some web-sites, but it is becoming less often necessary. My web-bank now has warnings against IE, not Opera. Either web-design is increasingly done by the book, or Opera has become more tolerant, or both.
- JohnDGeek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6The advantage over Opera to me is that Firefox is more like IE "out of the box" then Opera. Opera can be configured to look like IE and Firefox but it takes some time to get it all. I myself have recommended FF to the novice users because it is similar to what they use now. That means I don't get as many calls asking how to something or why did it do this when I made a mouse gesture. It also means the user isn't frustrated with the browser and swears it off altogether. So for me I use FF to train the novice and then upgrade them to Opera.
- BAMAToNE, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Ctrl+Z only works if closing that tab was the very last thing you did. (It's a true "undo" function.) Ctrl+Alt+Z is the actual keyboard shortcut to open the last closed tab.
I love this feature. :) - krizhere, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Because justinx0r replied to a stupid comment with a smart way. Yours was a stupid comment to begin with.
I really like Opera and it's my first choice, but appreciate the work that people have put in Firefox and don't mind using it frequently (which I do). As Copperhe4d said before, this fanboyism is really childish. - PaiTrakt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7He's talking about middle clicking on bookmarks, which he's entirely correct about not working as it should.
But Opera is my favorite browser nevertheless - venir, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Perhaps we are the only two, considering I am being buried for stating I can't update through the browser itself.
- SwordAngel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Speed Dial rocks! There are really only a handful of websites that I check on an hourly basis and having them in the Speed Dial proves to be immensely handy. I'm wondering why I have never thought about looking up or asking for a feature like this before. Suddenly it all makes sense when I pressed Ctrl-T and see this Speed Dial thing.
- Yogurth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5There are few reasons, imo. It was ad supported(though not in bad manner, it would dl few predefined banners once a week), it wasn't free, Opera co. is not a big or rich company and can't pay for 2 side ads in NY times, Time....for months :), the only way Opera spreads is through word of mouth(WOMM), it may be too feature rich for average surfer that is why most of the functions have been hidden from Opera 8.5 and upwards....
- Quellex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5The only browser that I've consistently returned to, I have been using it since late 2001. It's as practical as practical goes when it comes to the browser experience. Fast, memory tolerant, customizable. You know you have everything you need when you download it. Good stuff.
- LouisC, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I've been a long time Opera fan, but their upgrade notification system really isn't that great. They really need to do something about it.

? - stisev, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Awesome! Opera is the best browser!
