Is Opera worth the install?

Hard Drive C: · 06-26-2007, 07:51 AM

Are there any pitfalls to downloading Opera, and if so, what are they? Also, what are some or all of its good points?

I'm just curious and I love to try new things.

I have just downloaded the latest version and it is fast and has a nice speed dial feature. Does not have all the addons that Firefox has but still nice in its own right.

i have been using it for about 10yrs
own mail program
d/load manager
voice if you want it
current version 9.2 the new version 9.5 is in the pipeline which looks like blitzing every thing else for speed and a number of other new features

I have been using it along with Firefox for a while now.
Depends on what i feel like using.. but lately i've been using Opera more.

I like its Speed Dial feature, its block content feature too and how fast it starts up and loads pages.

Pretty good.. you should try and see how you like it.

I like Firefox the best, but Opera is great it is very fast.

The SpeedDial feature is great.

The best part of Opera, to me, is the integrated torrent client! It's definitely worth it!

I love opera.The only thing I've seen that it doesn't do is work with Yahoo Mail Beta.

It does for me!

I use Opera the vast majority of the time - sadly there are sites that require the use of ether IE or Firefox.

Opera is quicker and the speeddial is so cool

there is a new updated version released

Yeah agree with those about the Speed Dial. It appears they are giving Mozilla a run and all are now giving IE a run. Safari however, even though in the beta stages is quicker than either.

Only problem with Safari is it is for Mac more than windows but I look for a lot of that to change.
