Opera vs. Firefox

[Clive]

Has anyone actually thought that, in actual fact, we're all being...well, a bit sad really? We should be out partying, sleeping with loads of slags, taking drugs...all sorts of fun stuff. Yet here we are, discussing the virtues of TWO DIFFERENT INTERNET BROWSERS FOR FUCKS SAKES. Im going to post a picture of some porn soon, just to make me feel better. And I'll be banned safe in the knowledge that at least one person will be cracking off to a woman, and not to a web interface.

I don't think that's very sad. But then, I'm freakishly open-minded, and probably more than a little biased. Oh well.

i'm amazed this thread has lasted so long

I do all of them except party, sleep with slags and take drugs. So STFU and GTFO
I do party a bit, but it's sad partying which involves a few sad people being sad and getting drunk and then being ever sadder. Quality.

You're on a forum. About emulation and video games. How much more fun could it get?

A bit more seriously now: some threads are bound to get geeky and boring, mate. Not that there's anything wrong with that, I just thought you might see threads like this coming(should've been a Computer Tech thread...). I'm with you on the slags, but I'll pass on the weed for the time being. Being a pothead is harder in the good ol' US.

I'm also surprised that this thread got so big, there's not much to talk about two different browsers. I'd hope we would wrap this all up in about 5 posts, but GodJonez and others made Opera sounds so... interesting.

[Clive]

Ha ha, woosh, and all that.

Im just playing with you fella, feel free to talk about what the hell you like, within reason. I was just looking for the cheap gag.

[FallenPsychotic]

Next thing you know he's going to start making fun of us for wasting our time pirating games...

[GODJonez]

Hey, does Firefox has the elite thing of restoring closed windows? I think it is the most intuitive thing in Opera that if you close a window (or a tab) as mistake, you can open it back. The page history and other things related to that window are restored also.

[smackdat1]

Opera is the excellentest.

riiiiiiiight, and great spelling there too.

You seem to have mispelled "right", You now have 100 less braincells.

That makes it a negative value... interesting.

Wow, a six-page long thread debating on what's better...Opera or Firefox.

I personally don't use either. I need IE capabilities, and Maxthon gives me all of the neat little gizmos and add-ons I need without sacrificing IE's reliability and compatibility.

I bet I'm not the first to say he doesn't use either...

[GundamGuy]

I just switched to FireFox, as in i switched in the last 5 min.

So far so good. It is much better then i though it would be.

IE's reliability?

[Clive]

Arf.

Well, Im still using Opera. In fact, Im enjoying finding out all its little quirks and gimmicks, and the differences between this and IE, whilst initially daunting, are undoubtedly to Opera's favour. Dont get me wrong, Im not going to hop onto the whole 'Microsoft is evil' bollocks (its not...computing wouldnt be where it is now without their input dispute their alleged 'monopolising'), but Opera does seem like a better option that IE, for sure.
