Well, the only complaint I have so far about Opera is that it can be a bit of a RAM hog, if you use it for awhile, I've seen it take about 500,000 kbs, but usually it's about 300K or 400K.

One other thing, there's an add-on for Firefox that I find very handy though, so every once and awhile I have to go back to use that, but otherwise I don't need Firefox much anymore...

Those things haven't really affected my browsing much though, it still doesn't lock up every time like Firefox/Flock did though. In fact, I don't think it's locked up much if at all.

I think the speed is on par if not faster than chrome and even firefox (and IE but that goes without saying).

So, for now I still recommend Opera 10.63, if you're looking to try out a new browser.

I tend to have both Firefox and Chrome going, for different websites.

Ahem.

Really? I usually have Firefox/Flock open and Opera now if I need to use Firefox.

I'm used to Firefox, but I've found a few websites that work better on Chrome.

Firefox kept locking up on me too much and for too long, so I gave it the boot and got Opera.

Chrome is cool, but I still prefer Opera so far.

I haven't had much trouble with Firefix, but I also haven't downloaded a new version in ages. No idea how my computer would do with the current edition. :D

I haven't tried Opera. What's it like, aside from being named after music I don't care for?

It's actually a lot like Chrome or version 10.63 (the version I'm using) is.

Except that it has a few little options here and there. Also if you don't much RAM I'd say stick with chrome.

Noted.

I'll probably stick with it mainly because I already have it. :D

Fair enough, I just wanted to use Opera mostly because no one that I know of uses it so I thought I'd be the first to try it out among my circle of acquaintances.

It also seems to load pages faster than chrome.

Indeed. :)

I'm still very satisfied with it so far, it also has an option (which I'm not sure it utilizes or that I've even used it), that compresses webpages on slower connections that allows them to load faster (or something to that effect).

Interesting.

I generally have lots of tabs open, so I just read something else while the page is loading.
