Darth Wong Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 How popular is Opera? I mostly use Firefox and Konqueror, myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
{BBI}Nexus{BBI} Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 0.62% percent market share. Forth behind In-you-get Explore me, Firefox & Safari. Source: http://marketshare.hitslink.com/report.aspx?qprid=0 As a broswer it's fine. I've just done an upgrade :) Thanks for the info Gayle.

supermario Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Darth Wong I'd say Opera is the greatest browser on Windows. For linux i'd say Firefox, everything seems to work better like "FLASH." OSX, i'd say El Camino even though its FF on roids. Nexus, how is 9.26 handling say youtube videos, i'd get grey/gray screens if i clicked on another tab and came back to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gayle Posted February 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Flash 9.0.115 won't work in Opera 9.26- you have to get 9.0.48. I've heard that it does work in the 9.50 beta. By the way- Flash 9.0.115 also doesn't work with the Konqueror web browser! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Success with flash and java on the 9.50 betas comes and goes... still work to be done. ATM Flash is broken and Java is working. And yeah, Firefox is a better browser, if you don't mind browsing MUCH slower and using double the RAM you normally do using Opera... :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reiver_Fluffi Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 if you don't mind browsing MUCH slower and using double the RAM you normally do using Opera... :P I'm pretty sure this is a non-issue to most, unlike compatibilty with Flash and Java :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Batson Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Opera 9.50 beta 1 is my default browser. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 ... and the current Opera 9.50 beta (build 1834) is simply brilliant! Flash is working perfectly, java is a tad slow but it does work, video and audio streaming is working just great ( using gnome-mplayer plus gecko mediaplayer), no crashes, no quirks, no slowdowns, no... Whoever is not convinced, may stick to his compatibility worries... :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgano Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Opera tip: If some typefaces on some sites show up badly, then try to uncheck "Enable Core X Fonts". In Opera adress bar go to opera:config#UserPrefs, edit, save, restart. I just learned today. http://forum.mandriva.com/viewtopic.php?t=86267 (Did not have problems wiht this earlier) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Opera user... Brilliant browser, I've always found it far more responsive than firefox -- though Firefox 3 is definitely a significant improvement. But more than opera 9, I want the mobile version! It'll be awesome, and should resolve all the problems I have with mobile browsing now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
