Though the fact that Opera is lighter. Stuff loads way quicker on FF. Maybe becuase i havent used it much. The only reason I use FF is becuase of Downthemall, who doesnt like 200kb/s dl +

I like firefox better. It has a fuckwhat of extensions (Including adblock, the secret device that makes firefox own all other browsers), and a nice amount of downloadable themes. I haven't given Opera much of a chance since its bookmark importer is sorta borked for me, and I dont wanna rebookmark everything.

I would use Opera if i found a way to activate the tab bar... or download a seperate one. The widgets are really usefull and it's overall awesome...

Eh, for me the tab bar has always been there at the top of the page. And I started using opera more than 2 years ago.

Also, the add/popup blocker on opera has been there for at least 2 years as well. It's one of the reasons I chose to use it so long ago.

Opera is great.

i'm using opera for a while now, and i am considering to go back to IE.

I went IE - FF - Opera and stayed at Opera, still very happy. ^_^

I likes my Opera.

Opera has pretty much everything FF has and more, exept it isnt as well known. It has its on version of adblock integrated in, just right click on a page and select "Block Content...".

I find it loads everything faster than IE or FF, and that FF displays tables incorrectly where IE and Opera display them correctly. My only qualm is that google doesnt allow IM'ing in Opera via the web interface for gmail (the feature's been restricted to FF and IE).

But FF has Adblock Plus, with block-list subscriptions, so you never have to see the ad in the first place. Does Opera have this?

Opera has extensions too, but I havent spent a week or two browsing Opera site to see just what exactly there is as there's too many.

If it wasn't for extensions, I'd use opera instead of firefox, because it's so much faster. However, FF2 has improved performance wrt FF1.5 and the addons... can't live without them.

Opera doesn't have close to Firefox's adblock functionality, no, but what it has, it has without needing any configuration.

What it has over Firefox is more features without needing time to configure those (including installing extensions here), faster render times, widgets and a Bittorrent client.
It doesn't have a "killing ur memories lolz" feature either.

As for the original question, neither. Use K-MeleonCCFME. Or Camino, if you're running OS X.

Firefox!
I don't use opera and don't intend to do so in the future.

Anyway you should give them both a try and use what ever feels better.

You can just disable GIFs, Flash and audio in Opera (and reenable them quickly if you need them), few ads remain after that. You can whitelist websites so e.g. Homestar Runner doesn't get blocked (just a right click and a few checkboxes to tell it what you want to whitelist). I even disabled cookies and use the whitelist feature to get them for sites I want to use them.

i'll be honest the trashcan is probably what did it for me. Opera all the way. Plus in all debates its always said to be fastest (no idea where its @ now the new IE is out though). And the green skin i have for it is all shiney <3

I'd have switched to opera by now, but I'm too addicted to StumbleUpon

Opera is the closest to fully standard compliant too, being the only browser that correctly displays a lot of the tests.

I think I'll stay with firefox. I love my extensions, can't live without em. Plus, I haven't ever encountered an error in Firefox that isn't caused by NoScript. That is one of the things I love, coupled with AdBlock, and my various other little addons.

This is good, but very few web developers test with opera. Very few seem to test with FF too...

Slackers.
