Opera Owns!

[MistaY]

Beh, the only thing that ever crashes on this machine is Trillan and that's because i'm using a beta version (which I am too lazy to upgrade), or when my TV card decides to lock up when capturing video for more than 30mins.

Beh, I can live with mozilla. Although the next step would be to remove IE completely.

I may do that before too long.

Supposedly, Panther (the next version of OS X) will automatically delete IE when you run the installer...

I might have to do it just to stop myself from clicking the 'e' icon constantly because it's been drummed into me since 1998.

I'm using Firebird (which is built off of Mozilla). It's rendering speeds are incredible! I does muck up with GTPs formatting much like Mozilla, but still, way better.

 

[Viper_Maniac]

U using the latest version?

Firebird = Effin awesome

It does seem allot faster than Mozilla and it doesn't even seem to have an installer.

But boy is it fast.

Yep, Firebird does rock. Seeming as it is built off of Mozilla, I'm guessing it'd have awesome standards support as well.

Yeah, it doesn't have an installer. You just have to unzip all the files to a directory of your choice.

I use Mozilla for my main browsing.

Opera for my other needs

Just use Firebird. It is faster than Mozilla.

Scrap Opera all together. It has poor standards support.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Does Firebird have the pop-up blocker?

And does it have that password thing?

Yeah. It has everything Mozilla has, only faster and a better skin.

 

[EliteRacer]

Ok, I've been giving Firebird a long hard test run. It is a good browser. In fact, It's now my only browser...other than IE......

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

I don't see much improvement over Mozilla.

It even takes up the same amount of space.

Mozilla it is

How do I use the tab browsing?

 

[Viper_Maniac]

Never mind. Just found it.

I tried out Opera a while ago. It was great in the beginning, but after a while, problems started popping up here and there... SO I deleted it.

The only reason I found myself ever using it was to block pop ups.

Get Firebird.

Opera sux0rz.

 

[Viper_Maniac]

Yes get firebird. It rules. Hopefully they'll fix the problem with the reply boxes like here on gtp and other forums.

I have that same formatting problem in Opera...but other than that it rocks for me. With Ad-aware 6, Norton Systemworks 2003 and Opera's built in stuff, I have no pop-ups. And it uploads images in usually less than a second! IE would take 1-3 minutes to upload a 300kb image, and I'm on cable. I see no problems with it, though. Thats just me. But as long as we can all see GTP...

 

[Super-Supra]

Can a Macintosh user please post a picture of Safari or direct me too one? I haven't seen a picture of Safari, But I have heard lots of it. Thanks.

 

[Vasco]

Hmm...I think I'll just stick with IE for the moment...

I can upload a 100kb image on GTP in about 1-2 seconds and I'm on an 128k ISDN connection.

It was just IE that was doing it to me. When playing games online, my ping is no higher than 60 unless I'm in a bad room which rarely happens.

I just downloaded the latests Opera and I am impressed! I like it's customizing abilities and it looks good! - Although it does have some serious problems with flash and other elements, but i'll live.

 

[KosmikFool]

I'm using Firebird and Opera at the moment. Both good browsers. But Firebird is a bit better, I'll say, Shannon.
