Opera or Firefox - Which one is the best?
I’ve been switching between the 2 for a while now & I can’t make up my mind.
Please give your reasons rather than just stating your preference.

Opera is also very easy to use, I don't know how secure it is but it's free, & I don't use a Mac or Linux

Not if you have a serial number for it.

i've never used opera, but am currently using firefox.
pros for ff
1. faster access for web pages
2. tabbed web pages
3. extensions
4. pop-up blocker
5. ad-ware extension!
6. saves favicons
cons for ff
1. memory leak for some gifs
2. unable to play some video clips on certain pages that ie can
3. when sorting or deleting of bookmarks, bookmark tool bar minimizes as ie doesn't
that's all i have for now and i'm sure these will be resolved.

OPERA!!!!! No question.
I tried Firefox, and it sucked in comparison (no offense firefox fans...)
Opera's got mouse gestures and plainly, a better system altogether. Much faster

you can get mousgesture extensions.
there are a couple of them, doing different things. :)
what do you mean by "a better system altogether?"

It's faster and very customizable.
Opera Has too much craps, menu bars and tools bars r too messy,
Go fire Fox.

I've used Opera before, and didn't like it at all. I found IE to be a better browser in comparison, honestly.
Of course, firebird/fox also used to have sooo many bugs and screw up all the time, so I also used to use IE over that as well.
I've tried the latest versions of each, and honestly, Opera still sucks big time. However, on the other side of this, Mozilla has done a great job with the new versions of Firefox, and that is my current borwser of choice.
I mean, Opera vs. IE might be a fair comparison, but Opera vs. Firefox? Come on guys.

In Opera, it is very easy to customize menus by changing their positions or adding and removing buttons and search fields, etc.

Don't listen to any of them heheehhe jk.... I use MYIE2... its like IE but it uses tabbed browsing. It takes some getting used to... but it is really cool. You can also compare this to Opera and Firefox. I personally tried Opera, and didnt like it. Havent used ff yet... but I am happy with MYIE2. They actually renamed it Maxthon.
