Opera: Back to being free...and ad-free.
I guess they realized people would pay for garbage when garbage is generally something found free elsewhere. Not particularly calling Opera garbage, although I haven't used it in years and recall it not being all that good when I did try it, but, they probably didn't see a lot of legit users when cracks were readily available to remove the ads from the free version without having to pay for the license.

I saw this earlier. Hmm... I might download it but probably not. I was hesitant to get Firefox at first, but it proved to be a much better experience. What can Opera offer me that Firefox can't?

i really hate opera after using it this summer. and i dont really need another browser. it's good that they are offering it for free though. more options are always good.
|
i may end up installing opera if i want to be sure that any sites that i put together will display properly in most browsers (even though there is no reason why all the browsers shouldn't already treat html and css the same way..)
but i always thought opera was a shitty shitty browser, so i would never use it regularely |
I used to use a hacked version of opera back in the day because it had a great pop up blocker.
|
I used to love Opera which was the only browser that offered anything. Opera5 was one of my favorite browsers, their mouse-tracking was innovative and awesome ... and I couldn't imagine living without it, and it was the only browser that had a popup blocker.
Though now every browser has those features, and you can get a plugin for IE and FF to run the mouse tracking ... Opera is still the fastest browser available.. especially compared to Firefox, which is one of the slowest. |
