- Ocelot13, on 04/15/2008, -1/+61article on one page minus the clutter that is known as pcworld. they seriously need to find a better web designer. its ridiculous.
http://www.pcworld.com/printable/article/id,144338 ... - Morghin, on 04/15/2008, -9/+55And Opera got an "honorable mention"? Jeeze, "Which one works the best" my ass.
- Rajaie, on 04/15/2008, -4/+46Half the people on that use the internet don't even know what a browser is
- chandan333, on 04/15/2008, -16/+50Said so many times now.
Ok one more time for you - Mozilla's Firefox - Rajaie, on 04/15/2008, -1/+28lol, once my dad told me to get my laptop so that he can open another webpage
- lamiaconfitor, on 04/15/2008, -0/+24One, Two, Three, Four, I declare a fanboy war!
- Stevo23, on 04/15/2008, -1/+20Opera is an incredibly impressive browser from a technical standpoint. It's still probably the fastest rendering engine out there. The problem is that they shot themselves in the foot marketing-wise by having the ad-bar for so long. I still run into lots of people that are like, "Opera? Isn't that the one that forces you to see ads?" (Note that these people all use gmail).
- Lazdude, on 04/15/2008, -4/+22Granted, Opera has a small user base, but it deserves as much attention as the rest.
- chabotc, on 04/15/2008, -8/+25currently safari is on 2.1%, while opera is on 1.4%, according to w3c schools, which you should always check before making such kind of broad statements: http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.a ...
- Jamlet, on 04/15/2008, -2/+17my dad thinks google is a browser
- lamiaconfitor, on 04/15/2008, -2/+17Go flock yourself
- Trilogy, on 04/15/2008, -8/+22Why doesn't Opera 9.50 Kestrel get attention? Buried as lame. -.-
- gerryk, on 04/15/2008, -1/+14'course they do... they just call it 'The Internet'
- Ghostalker, on 04/15/2008, -3/+15Nice opinion piece. Sounds less of an article and more like a 3rd grade book report.
300 words! Oh noes! - Rosco, on 04/15/2008, -0/+11The screenshots are amusing, BBC on Firefox, Microsoft on IE (of course) and, Craigslist for Safari. So, perverts prefer Apple products, who would have guessed.
- fugazied, on 04/15/2008, -0/+11I've been using the last beta of FF 3, very impressive. I'd been having weird JS crash issues with FF2 and the speed had really suffered (opera was owning it speed wise). FF3 is fast as hell and has kept all of the features.
- crownedgriffin, on 04/15/2008, -3/+14...and they're mostly the ones using IE and Safari.
- str3ama, on 04/15/2008, -26/+36Opera isn't mainstream? I think there are probably more Opera users then there are Flock or Safari, especially considering the Wii uses opera.
- Trilogy, on 04/15/2008, -1/+10Why wouldn't they? Topic is talking about Updated Web Browsers, which Kestrel is as much as Firefox is. Opera is usually considered as one of those few major browsers and it should be in there with no doubt. I'm not expecting to see acid3 test success Konqueror in there, though it technically can beat that famous trio...
- bjornski, on 04/15/2008, -0/+9At least most of them have upgraded from AOL.
/explaining to people what the internet was when AOL was just coming out was a hair-pulling experience. - radix2, on 04/15/2008, -1/+10Err - why can you not organise your favourites in Firefox (before 3.0)? It has folders and subfolders. HTML is just the underlying storage format.
- FaceTheSlayer, on 04/15/2008, -9/+18No Opera? Goodbye.
- lamiaconfitor, on 04/15/2008, -5/+14No one, and I mean no one agrees with you.
- Adam420, on 04/15/2008, -16/+25Opera is the best, end of story.
- yetAnotherCroc, on 04/15/2008, -1/+9I think you need to read the actual article as they actually go through and talk about the new bookmark management in FF. There is no html file anymore.
- PhoebusApollo, on 04/15/2008, -1/+9Opera's download figures from their website are close to Firefox's on each new release, most of the surveys taken online do not detect Opera because until recently it had a User Agent mimicking other browsers, and many User Agent scripts did not bother to check for the Opera string, thus giving tainted survey results.
- lamiaconfitor, on 04/15/2008, -2/+10personally, I don't use either. and I couldn't be happier.
- svivian, on 04/15/2008, -3/+10Yeah, it's like he hardly opened the browser. He barely scratched the surface on Opera's features.
- greywolf330, on 04/15/2008, -0/+7Well, it can really depend on the website. Mine gets 95% firefox users, mostly because I right some articles about linux. But, I still have 65% windows users, obviously they're mostly using firefox.
- inactive, on 04/15/2008, -2/+9except Safari is installed via iTunes updater.
- theaceoffire, on 04/15/2008, -1/+8Like IE?
- BrendanSheehan, on 04/15/2008, -1/+8Where's the conclusion?
- celticchrys, on 04/15/2008, -0/+6I actually had a big argument with a bunch of Technology Education majors once who would not believe me when I told them that the World Wide Web was NOT "The Internet" and that the Internet pre-dated the Web. I had to bring in publications about 'net history before they would accept it.
- darkamster07, on 04/15/2008, -2/+8it's not like Opera is just some insignificant browser, it had a ton of todays popular features way back in the day, it used to be one of the most popular browsers untill all this firefox worship just got way out of hand
- jm1234567890, on 04/15/2008, -6/+12Internet explorer installs via an updater too...
- Krpano, on 04/15/2008, -4/+10Who the ***** still use IE ?
Anyway...go Opera !!! - bjornski, on 04/15/2008, -1/+7"While I updated your QuickTime, I added a browser you didn't ask for. I mean, you didn't tell me NOT to!"
Spam marketing tactics. Opt-out. ***** tacky. - svivian, on 04/15/2008, -2/+8Safari has definitely got more users (I've seen reports of up to 5%), since it's the default browser on the Mac. But Opera is definitely higher than Flock.
- wassim2k, on 04/15/2008, -0/+6Digg needs to find better submitter, who could have linked to the printable version instead.
- luchid, on 04/15/2008, -2/+8You can't put Safari and IE on the same position. You might not like Safari, but it's really a good browser. IE on the other hand is as far from a good browser as possible.
- bjornski, on 04/15/2008, -0/+5I do it with a Firefox2 add-on all the time.
I ran 3 for a while, it's VERY nice. But there were just a few plug-ins that I used that weren't fully supported smoothly yet. They will be soon. I'm patient.
But if you say you can't do something with Firefox, you're probably wrong. - darkamster07, on 04/15/2008, -3/+8that's surprising considering Opera has every other browser already built in
- Rosco, on 04/15/2008, -1/+6*****, want a screenshot of it? I have AdBlock Plus working perfectly on Firefox 3 b5.
- robthom, on 04/15/2008, -1/+6I haven't read it yet. If thats true than I'll be giving FF another try.
- inactive, on 04/15/2008, -4/+9Opera became free too late to build any momentum against Firefox or IE. Safari is the default browser on OSX, so some programs will open it even if you normally use Firefox. I'd say that Opera is probably more mainstream than Flock, at least because I've never heard of it.
- ortucis, on 04/15/2008, -1/+6Opera is the most CSS friendly as far as I have seen. All the sites using CSS look the way they are supposed to look on Opera compared to FF and IE.
- greywolf330, on 04/15/2008, -2/+7Or Vista?
- PhoebusApollo, on 04/15/2008, -0/+5It's the most standards-compliant browser on the web, being the first to historically test in complete compliance with the Acid tests. I find it's quirk routines for displaying webpages is almost identical to Firefox's, only Opera has historically been the quickest to implement new standards consistently. Sounds like if you're not seeing something right in Opera, you're not doing something right - at all. I have fixed numerous page errors in my pages with the help of Opera, and I rarely find a page that doesn't look right in it.
- manitoba98xp, on 04/15/2008, -1/+6radix2: No, it uses SQLite. Both SQL database engines, but VERY different in their architecture and capabilities. SQLite is not based on MySQL in the slightest.
