>>17278926>>17278945Well that's the most straightforward reasoning I've seen. A few years ago Opera used to be bad with sites that had a lot of or really complex java for some reason but since around 9.5 or so I've never really had any problems.
The thing I like about Opera is how easily I can arrange all the buttons and options to exactly how I like them to be set up, so I can have it really streamlined. I haven't even figured out how to get the tab bar to the bottom of the screen in Firefox. (incidently, if anyone knows could you say so. It would be handy when I'm on other people's machines. [yes I'm actually anal about tab bar placement])
The Opera community I can't speak for, I don't even know anyone else who uses it. But I wouldn't be surprised if they're douches.
I guess Firefox's big benefit is all the add-ons you can get but I've never seen any compelling enough to switch.
