Why Firefox Users should Switch to Opera

Fawzy X · 09-16-2008, 04:44 AM

My favorite things about opera web browser:
1) Web Standard Compliant, Always. (W3C)
2) Speed dial- Lets you have multiple pages on your homepage
3) It will read the webpage aloud for you
4) Built-In Torrent Client
5) Built-In Fraud Detection
6) Strips ads from websites for you. Hahaha, awesome, huh?
7) Freaky Cool Widgets floating around
8) Password Manager doesn't bug you with constant messages like Firefox...
9) Also you can use a microphone to control Opera
10) Accidently Close a page? Opera can reopen closed pages.
11) Built in IRC client
12) Default Skin is awesome
13) Can prievew pages as if they're on a mobile phone, great for web developers like me
14) I can lock the pc to only the browser when a sibling is using the pc. That way nothing else can be accessed.
15) Smaller in Resources and File Size than Firefox

Why Firefox Sucks
1) They lie. People support it thinking its a free, non-profit browser. They make millions. At least Opera is honest about the fact that they are a company.
2) Firefox thinks they are a religion. Blake Ross (Founder) even called it such. They even have "The Book of Mozilla" which is basicly a religious text.
3) It loads pages slower than Opera.
4) Firefox is a very unsecure browser.
5) Firefox is based off of netscape code, one of the worst browser ever
6) It is actually less secure than IE. A shocker, no? Over twice as many vulnerabilies.
7) Firefox is a memory hog.
8) Firefox does not meet WC3 internet standards with a standard install.

I use apera and firefox ...
sometimes opera doesn't display some arabic texts ...
so I use firefox (sometimes it even doesn't display them)
... but both are good ... opera is maybe more functional !
