I use Opera for my main browser, but I run firefox for app dev/debugging issues. FireBug is the best thing about firefox.

I believe Opera has the best dev team out there. Their pages render correctly more often than any other browser. If ever I wonder if something is working correctly, I check it in Opera. If IE looks like Opera, then IE is right. If Firefox looks like Opera, then Firefox is right. That's how it goes.

As I use Opera, I continue to find awesome features I really love, Their dev team is so creative. They are visionaries.

It's an amazing product. Unfortunately, a lot of websites will say, "You aren't using the right browser!" but it almost always renders correctly and sometimes they block me all together, so I just right click open in > whatever that site wants.

So awesome! I love Opera.

I wish that were true, but my experience has often been otherwise. There are some sites that I just know won't work in Opera, either in stable or 10 alpha (which passes Acid3) or both. I'm still a die-hard Opera fan, though. It feels so much cleaner and faster than Firefox.


It's been a few years since I last used Opera (using Safari now since I switched to Macs). Rather than the browser, what I was most impressed about them was the M2 email client. Maybe others have caught up now, but back then, it was incredible. Good search, virtual folders (think Gmail labels), etc.
