What engine does Opera use to render pages? Proprietary, I would think, right?

*btw*, been on 7.11 for awhile now.
*edit* just moved up to 7.23 - this is pretty cool. I've already noticed some cool functionality.

its nice, i use it...but the quotes dont indent for me. It sucks.

If Opera were free, this would be no contest.

But the stability of Opera and the feature it has make the price worth it.

Opera wins

opera is only 20$ with the school discount which makes it even better

How the hell do I decrease the font size in opera? Zooming the page out looks like shlt. IE and Mozilla do this without a hitch via the text size option. What's the deal with opera?

...and where's the damn Stop button?

...oh, and where's the fvckin' Edit button for the forum replies? For Christ's sake, what a POS Opera is!

Change font in Opera...Alt+P; Fonts; go to town.

You mean: Tools > Options > Extensions > Get new extensions

Yeah, that's swell, but you can't make the damn fonts smaller! That also doesn't answer where the stop button is, or where the edit button for this reply is. Uh, thanks for the effort?

Ah, I did finally get the 'Normal' font down to 15, which is fine, but that was a lot of digging to find the right one to tweak. I do on occasion, find a site with insanely small fonts, like Sears.com, and it's a simple matter to increase the text size in Mozilla, or IE. This would be a royal pain with Opera.

FireFox.

But I do have that latest beta Opera running and I really like it.

the "STOP" button is the same as the reload button, it changes when yolu are loading a page

i have a reply button in the forums and an edit button i can take a screenie for you

no idea about text size the default is fine for me

 

[Beller0ph1]

I like the customizability with Firefox. I can download only the extensions that I need.

 

[jimmyl930]

Although I run both, I like Firefox better. The extensions can provide just about all the extra features I need.

Opera had a small memory leak (7.11, at least), and also had problems with lagging my entire comp when it was downloading sites with lots of images (as in 2-3mb of images or something like that), the latter of which IE didn't have problems with.

We'll see how 7.23 does.

I had the same problem.
