so how it feels to be using the best browser

 

[skeletor]

feels great. I use Opera everywhere. Occasionally not on Linux. Otherwise, everywhere. Can't live without.

Just found out how to add a custom search engine in opera.

The bestest browser.

 

[Rahim]

Been using it since v 7.

 

[Bradthi]

never used it. Why it should be better than f.e. firefox?

 

[Krow]

Opera is my secondary browser. The day Adblock Plus comes to Opera, it will become my primary browser. I like its IRC client quite a bit.

Speed, for starters!

this could take a whole day to explain . But mainly for me its amazing built in features of Opera, to emulate which firefox would require like 30 extensions. and we all know what happens when you install too many extensions of ff.

ITS SIMPLY the best

I love the snap links addon.

But tabs look cluttered, especially after you open lots of them. Check screenshot attached. Firefox manages tabs better IMHO.

Tab stack is 10x better and simpler than Firefox's panorama. I can't believe you didn't know about Tab stacks.

Perhaps to enlighten people about the best browser out there excluding Firefox?

I honestly feel that the word speed is now redundant. Every browser is blazing fast these days. Those synthetic benchmarks hardly matter in real life. Firefox 4 is job done right.

 

[Krow]

Nah, I don't like Panorama, I was talking about default tab management. Manually stacking tabs can be tiresome. After we reach a certain tab limit in Firefox, it automatically fixes tab width, whereas Opera just keeps making tabs thinner.

 

[skeletor]

I on the contrary don't like scrolling through tabs in Firefox 4 - left and right in the screenshot you gave. Because I lose track of which tab is where.

Tab "roll-over" preview in Opera goes together with their current implementation which is much better than Firefox.

 

[Krow]

^There is a button on the right which lists all tabs. That helps jump to any tab. Scrolling can also be a pain sometimes, but at least tabs are wide enough to see titles.

 

[skeletor]

You can always Right click and scroll, anyways. This is something which I extensively use.

and this is wide-enough to let you see the full title.

What I said in my earlier post is this:

I can just roll-over my mouse on every tab to know the contents.

 

[Krow]

Ah! I so miss a mouse. Hate trackpads.

Need to buy one soon.

@Krow, In Opera tab preferences (go to Tools->Appearance->Toolbars, then click on the tabs bar), you can set it to automatically wrap to multiple lines, or give an extender menu which will ensure your tabs are more visible in case you open a lot of tabs often...
