Why Opera is kept aside??

[ray|raven]

^Crappy hell, A broswer from the stone ages!!,
They support Netscape and IE but not Opera,
IMO ,Those guys are from the stone ages, not Opera.

Could you point me to a few sites that dont render well?

I got rid of opera because of the problem with AOL
It showed all the parts messed up
the search was 'here' and then the mail button was 'there'
I really couldn't read the page

It is not due to the opera. IT is the AOL not making it compatible with opera.

*vongo.com/this website dosen't works with opera! See what it says when you open it with opera. I am really raged!*bakshi.us/wp-content/lame.jpg

My opera said you can't view this site as you are outside U.S.

Why is this so??
Opera is a good browser but why are peoples neglecting it!!

As an ex-Opera fanboy I can answer this question.
I am ex-opera fanboy because i have stopped being a fanboy, but I still install Opera on every system I come across

The reason many ppl neglect Opera is quite simple -

Because Opera neglects them... See browsers like firefox, mozilla are made for the real web. Many websites have to work around exploders bugs to make sense. Since IE has a massive share and any website must to work on it.
So browsers like firefox, mozilla(konq?) in order to work with the 'real' web mimic IE's behaviour to long extent. Even going as far as to copy IE's bugs.

Opera is different, call them arrogant or rebelous, but they insist on following standards religiously.
Obviously if developra made a lil effort then all sites will work in Opera.. but really y shld they?? I mean I wld love to see them make that effort, but I don't see why shld they..

If u encounter a webstie that doesn't work in Opera, do this -

☺right click > edit site preferences
☺cookies tab > delete all cookies(manually)
☺networlsok tab > select 'mask as firefox'
☺reload

Also Help > report site problem

If u really feel for Opera and hate websites not working in Opera u can email webmasters and ask the to fix their websites and also post in Opera's Open the web forum .

Opera rocks!

Opera is the best browser ever.
We should pity those who don't understand its power.

^^
Correctly said.
I don't mind using IE7 for a few sites that don't go well Opera.

The image is pretty confusing, minimum sys requirement says Opera and browser supported doesn't have it listed. :S

^^^ Note that Opera is a red dot (green is equivalent to tick mark, red is equiv to x mark). Does masking as IE or Firefox fix the issue with such websites?

[chesss]

^^ yes, many times . But u need to remove cookies of the site as well.

 

[victor_rambo]

I too like Opera but not all codes are com[patible with it, esp. Javascript, AJAX, CSS.

I completely agree, Opera is the best browser out there...
Masking as IE or FF does work in many cases...
But since the last 3-4 days, Opera aint loading pages for me, hence im forced to use FF
The cached images option in Opera is damn good for the bandwidth conscious....

TOOLS > delete private data.
This will clear your cache.
Also check to see if any proxy are set..

firefox3pre is standards compliant and almost nearing acid3 pass.opera still lacks !

 

[chesss]

^And under which rock have u been living??

Opera passes the Acid3 test! - the first one to do so

*operawatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/opera-passes-acid3.jpg
In a week or so we shld have a build to play with.. on labs.opera.com

 

[praka123]

^ah!that's great!still I read acid3--it may be not yet finalized.
ff3pre will not pass acid3 acc to many in ubu forums etc coz acid3 came late while ff3 is nearing release.ff4 may pass(already started)
in my ff3pre,upto 71/100 it reaches

Seems like remrov has old version of Opera, hence it says it dates backs to stone age. In my case, it doesn't say that. It just says incompatible browser.

Hey, I have tried it all.....
I have deleted all private data, n am under no proxy....
I of course know all that, thats the first thing I did....
But yet no result, I was downloading frm RS, n Opera was giving me speeds of 1KBPS or even less!!! on a 512 KbPS connection....

i tried it on the hotmail but no luck! The view is same as the opera.
I hope it would work with other sites.

----------------
i sometimes use dial up with is mostly 46.6kbps at night but surfing with opera is really fast. It is really very reliable speed untill and unless you open multiple pages.
