Opera Browser - grad - 10-06-2006
Tried to use Opera for the past 3 weeks.
Tons of features and total custumization was sweet!
Web pages seemed to render quite quickly!
However, it ended up eating up a lot of time to set the browser up to my liking.
Additionally, about 1 out of every 4 sites I have navigated to have artifacts, or do not load properly. This pretty much killed the deal for me.
Not gonna shell out $ for Opera or use it... just gonna stick with Firefox and Safari.
Oh well.

Opera is now free to use. No more embedded ads. You can pay if you need support. While I am not posting from Opera at the moment, I use it most often when I have a choice of browsers. I only seem to have trouble on 2% of the sites I visit. Unlike your 25% which may because the sites you are visiting are ajax heavy.
Configuring Opera does take a while to get things just right. Still, that was half the fun for me. It's not like I tweaked Opera non stop until I found the perfect setup. Instead, I use a slowly evolving process, where every few months I tweaks things for a slightly better layout.
I'm sorry Opera was not quite to your liking, but I'm happy you gave it a shot anyway. Thanks.

Opera is okay for me except for favorites bar. Firefox is getting snarly with nearly daily force quits with the endless spinning beachball.

I love that Opera! It's the only browser that I found that worked with USPS click 'n ship.
