Pros: Speedy--especially speeds up a dial-up service
Cons: Still has a few quirks
Summary: At first I used Opera only to speed up things up when surfing was especially slow.
Why didn't I use it all the time? Because of those all too frequent occasions when it made me want to throw my mouse through my monitor.
Why am I ... read more

Pros: Extremely well designed, minimum resource use. FAST!
Cons: Not compatible with some web pages, MS Java Scripts, and custom toolbars
Summary: I've Been Singing For Years I used to be a Netscape user. Netscape peaked, in my mind, at version 4.7. The newer versions were more advertiser friendly than good to users. This forced a switch back to my dreaded nemesis, Internet Explorer. That ... read more

Pros: fast. customize. not IE.
Cons: Quirky email. Not compliant with some sites.
Summary: The Internet has truly become a large part of everyone’s life the last few years. I remember way back in the early 90’s that “surfing” the world wide web was actually limited to under 100 web pages. And “browsing” was limited to ... read more

Pros: Works on almost any operating system, nice interface, skinable, compatible
Cons: Costs $30 for the ad-free version, not 100% compatible

Pros: ease of use, price($0.00), productivity
Cons: some bugs
Summary: When it comes to web browsers, nothing can even come close to the wonder that is Opera. What sets this free browser apart from all others is the fact that rather than getting in your way with interfaces and pop up adds, Opera instead CLEARS the way for ... read more

Pros: Light & swift. The zooming tool is fantastic.
Cons: Can present layout problems with some Web pages.
Summary: I saw that the more recent reviews of Opera were dating back to the version 5, so I thought I could give some new insights about it.
I have exactly 10 browsers/versions installed on my home computer (Netscape 1.1, 3.01, 4.7, 6.2 and 7PR1; MSIE ... read more

Pros: it's a free software
Cons: no one
Summary: A free software better than internet explorer and nescape!
The downloading of this navigator is simple taking into account the
weight file on installation(2.3 Mo). Opera is proof of the same modesty
in its material requirements, ... read more

Cons: Banner ads on free version, will take time to learn all your options
Summary: When I was a content editor, I most often used Netscape. I also checked my work in Microsoft’s Internet Explorer because it utilized different codes. Competition between browser companies has been fierce for years. It was enough to make the most seasoned ... read more

Pros: Ultimate customization, Quick, free
Cons: A bit of trouble with some scripts such as those written specifically for Internet explorer
Summary: So it all started when my room mate and I were searching for a new browser because iexplore just wasn't doing the trick, and he comes across this little freeware program called opera. So we install it and are blown away by how fast the connection goes ... read more

Cons: Doesn't support some types and is a bit erratic at times, has ads.

Pros: Small, speedy, customizable, mail/news/IM functionality, cross-platform
Cons: Crashes regularly, can't view many pages correctly, & quite quirky. Costly/features Ad-bar.
Summary: It is frustrating that I can't use Opera as a primary browser - I don't care for Internet Explorer, and Netscape is not very reliable, but both those monolith browsers are unfortunately superior. Opera is always *on the verge* of becoming the perfect ... read more
