Browser War - Take your pick

[Faun]

ehh...
Firefox is my customized camaro
Opera is Ferrari

But i love FF for the flexibility and what you want is what you get

Flock just seemed to be a FF ripoff. Just that it had better blogging support.

flock is not a ripoff,
more is much more then just blogging,
its more towards SN
look at its wikipedia article

I've just tested firefox 3 ...it has improved a lot and a lot faster also....but execpt google toolbar none of my previous extensions are working in it...on the other hand the page rendering n speed of opera 9.5 is much better.....in the acid 3 test score of the 2 browsers >>>>> FIREFOX -> 71 , OPERA -> 83 ....I have been using opera for 3years n I think it is the best browser out there

I am not able to log in to my blogger account via opera. I think it has something to do with its support for frames. But I am not sure. Can someone tell me if they experience the same ?

 

[thelordrrulzzz]

FIREFOX any time is my pick when it comes to browsers.

Firefox Tango! theme sucks. I wish they had a better default theme for GTK+.

[MetalheadGautham]

I go to blogger.com

Enter username and passowrd

Then a new page shows up with a google accounts box where I am asked to sign in with my google account.

I sign in, and again the same page shows up.

The same is the case for me like MetalHeadGautham.

About tyhe speed dial problem, Try Ctrl+Shift+Click to open any link in a new tab. Super efficient.

 

[ray|raven]

^Or just middle click

 

[sakumar79]

Also, Ctrl+number opens the speed dial entry of corresponding number in the active tab (not in new tab though)...

One more thing I found interesting in Opera... Dont know if it is available in Firefox and IE... Today, suddenly my mouse stopped working, but I had opened Thinkdigit forum for browsing... While the tab wasnt stopping over links, I could open a list of links through Ctrl+Alt+L and open the links from a list (Pressing Ctrl+Enter over the link would open it in background...)

^ Its Ctrl+Shift+L not Ctrl+Alt+L

Couple of tips:

1.Thumbnails in Ctrl+Tab switcher :

Enable opera:config#UserPrefs|UseThumbnailsinWindowCycle

Now the Ctrl+tab switcher will have thumbnails of the tab along with name.
Good for keyboard freaks like me

2. Inline search.

You can use '/' anywhere in the page , to popup a search bubble.
Also , to get the firefox style search bar ,
Right-Click on the status bar > Customize > Buttons > Search

Add 'Find In Page' to the status bar.
Enable opera:config#UserPrefs|UseIntegratedSearch

Next time you press Ctrl+F , the search bar you added is given focus automatically instead of popping up an old school style search window.
And pressing 'enter' will take you to the next result.

P.S : Maybe we should have an Opera tips thread?

^^^ Its Ctrl+Alt+L in Opera 9.5 on Windows for Links list...
