    Opera is still used food.

    • Used food?

      Based on what, how long you've used it? Opera is an excellent browser with the smallest footprint I've found. It doesn't do all IE or FF can yet, but I like the fact that they've chosen to progress instead of copy.

  • RE: Private browsing (Opera 10.50 beta - First Look)

    From the pictures, it looks like Chrome. I use Opera
    Mini on my phone and like it. Chrome has been my default
    choice for some time on the PC. I wish Opera the best,
    but the competition is fierce.

    • Looks like Chrome...

      If Opera looks like Chrome, that's fine. Chrome did after all borrow liberally from Opera in the first place (did you not know this?).

    Actually Opera has a feature no other browser offers to
    my knowledge, and that is email integration which allows
    local storage. You can use it to open all email accounts
    in one place. There is gmail offline too. Don't know
    about the others since I use Chrome and Opera. Can't
    stand the visual bloat on Expolorer and Foxfire, and like
    more room for what i'm viewing. A lot less scrolling.

    • Agree

      I definitely agree with your sentiments on the visual bloat of IE and Firefox. More viewing, less scrolling.

  • FF and IE Copy Opera, No way!

    Unlike the comments which say opera copy it has been the other way round. Opera was first at tabbed browsing, first with speed dial, as well as integrated email. An excellent browser which i have been using for years. The only thing wrong is a rubbish marketing dept.

    • Apparently the majority of web user disagree...except the

      EU which crams it down everyone's throats, or at least appears to anyway

  • opera is my default!

    from messages above i understood people follow the link published somewhere on the net, but fail to do some research.
    opera is my default, back from version 3 and that was in 1996 or 7 (maybe i am wrong). the best feature for me is bult in mouse gestures and easy visual customisation. i also use chrome, but for sites that are heavy on jscript.
    opera is the browser inovator!
