Free Copy of Opera…why I’m sticking with FF

August 30th, 2005

Well, the nice folks at Opera decided to treat us on their 10th birthday by offering an ad-free version of the browser for free. I must say, I’m impressed with the quality of this browser. The interface is very nice, and it has some good features not found on other browsers. This may slide in between Firefox and Maxthon for my second place browser, but here are the reasons why it won’t become my default browser:

1) The Find Bar in Firefox is my absolute favorite feature. As much as I use it, I can’t imagine going back to popup find window.
2) The Web Developer Extension in Firefox is very handy…not sure I could do without it.
3) In Firefox I can add search engines to the search toolbar, so I can have Google, Yahoo, MSN and eBay all right there. Don’t think I can do this with Opera.
4) The SEOpen extension in Firefox is a lifesaver for me 4 out of 5 days in the week.
