I'm curios to know your opinion,i use internet explorer and i want to change my browser.
on my old computer, i used to like opera a lot cos it was much quicker..but on a faster computer, it wouldnt make much difference.
I use Opera7.03 wo/java (didn't like 7.10) 90% & IE6 10%. For me (56k dialup) Opera is 2-5x faster than IE. I use my own plugins java (Java 2 runtime environment SE v1.4.1_02, download manager (Star Downloader) & email client (Eudora). Opera by far is the best & lightest browser @ 3.25MB. IMHO anyways. Still need IE though lots of programs are IE dependent like KL & Windows update to name 2. :)

Duties are not performed for duty's sake, but because their neglect would make the man uncomfortable. A man performs but one duty - the duty of contenting his spirit, the duty of making himself agreeable to himself.

Opera is a little faster and has something called mouse gestures that are very addictive.
But overall I have found opera to be lacking.
I'd have to say that 2 in every 10 websites won't work properly with opera.
Including this one!
If these probs with opera could be fixed I would make it my default browser.
One more thing.
Microsoft trys Very Hard to make shure that their browser is the only browser used!! :devil: :devil:
Opera is faster in downloading images and stuff on webpages. It also has a bunch of other actions you cant do in IE like zooming in on a webpage(images and everything), cycle a different homepage everytime u open, etc.

if u mean quicklinks then that takes a few seconds to solve
I think opera is great. Getting websites through my uni proxy is so much faster with opera than IE (and my computer is pretty fast). I definitely agree about the mouse gestures thing as well, they're brilliant, oh and opera is much more customisable than IE. :P But there are far too many sites out there that you just can't access. <_<
How do u solve the quicklinks problem?
What's up with "which is best"? I use IE,Opera and Firebird (a lightweight Mozilla clone). XP has even quit asking about a "default browser". Opera is much faster than IE but it's also very unforgiving about crappy code.
