Well,

Firefox is gettin' a little boring now...

I like it, its fast, effective and blocks most pop ups. But sometimes it takes a while to load and it can't run things on some sites. Like MSN Space, you can't use Paragraphs on the Blog entries and etc.

I was wondering if I should get Opera? A lot of people have said its good, but the new version (Opera 8) sounds as if its got a lot of bugs >_<

Well, I was wonderin' what do ya'll prefer to use and recomnd?

Firefox or Opera?

tried both - went back to the fox cause i was lazy, one thing i liked with opera was the option of dividing 2 tabs on the screen at once.
for the rest opera seemed to have too much for me - may go back to it later

Oh god no.. not another "what's the best browser?" thread. :lol:

Ok ok... sorry, I'll play nice.

I tried Opera a while back to see what all the fuss was about with the mouse gestures, but I never really found it to my taste.
I also didn't like the ad bar so I had no choice but to crack it. A browser you need to crack = blah.

So I continue to be one of those increasingly annoying Firefox fanboys you see on just about every forum. :)

I`ve never tried opera, but i`ve finally got used to firefox. It`s brill at stopping all the pr0n pop ups you get even when you don`t go on pr0n sites. :unsure:

Well.. I have used both FireFox and Opera... And honestly... In the end.. I have to side with Opera... I can't really explain why.. But I like it more than FireFox.

I like Opera because of the eMail app innit.
I like Firefox because the plugins like Adblock and the others.

Here's a real Fanboy when it comes to Opera:

Firefox has an extension you can get off there site to get mouse gestures :rolleyes:

Thunderbird, can be built to work with Firefox.

I dont have anything against Opera, Just as {I}{K}{E} said, its too bulky. Wont use half the things it offers.

Hmm... Does Opera use a lot of resources? And I think I'll try it out as soon as my Adobe DL finishes:D Thanks a lot for the suggestions :)

As for the "adbar" could someone give me info on what it is and how to get rid of it (PM me).

and adjust disk cache size

Opera takes up less resources than firefox to my understanding
