Opera? Fast?
This is the question that many a net user will argue over and I’m not going to get in a argument over which browser I think is better or safer (I use Firefox).
But I have to say that I used Opera for the first time yesterday and I felt like a newbie to the net, I was not impressed at all. Firstly the speed, they claim they have one of the fastest browsers around but I felt like I was using dial-up from 98. It seems to take an eternity for any screen to load and don’t get me started on secure pages!!!
And I tried to write a post or two in this blog in Opera and it did some things that I have never seen before. The lines of text never went to a new line, so I thought that must be normal in Opera but when I posted it the text had disapeared! I eventually went into notepad and cut and pasted the text back into my blog and it worked fine.
As I said I’m not here to say one browser is better than others, but unless someone can explain the bizarre things I saw on Opera I will never use it again.
