Which is better? Firefox or Opera?


Icedrake

Recommended Posts

After using Firefox for many years (since version 0.8 or so back in circa 2003), I recently switched to Opera 9. Wow, what a difference. Pages definitely load a tad faster and the GUI is more responsive. I also like the skins better, and love the fact that it has a built-in mail client. :D

GCNbball8 was a name from the first forum I joined - Gamer-Talk.net...It stood for Nintendo Gamecube - baseball - 8 (for May 8 - my birthday)... that site died, and has been reborn as D-pad.net, but it really isn't running.

 

I switched because it fits me more, and it is my Gmail acount (minus the s).
