I just downloaded Opera to try it out because you guys were raving about it. WOW! This thing is fast. It is surely limited by my pitiful 6Mbits DSL connection...not the computer in any way!
Wonder why it's not more popular?:confused:

I am surpriced that Chrome got overrun by Opera 11.52. I think that I will be migrating to Opera very soon. It is as fast as Chrome, but does not track ones footsteps on the web. It has extensions, it can manage and syncronize your bookmarks through Opera Unite...
What´s not to like???
EDIT: Please note that I ran these tests while crunching on my Aticard. Did not wanna suspend one minute of crunching....LOL
For the record I installed Opera two days ago but not sure if I like the layout. For Pale Moon I've recently noticed strange, as in not so good, behavior. Every now and then while I'm on the forum, someone's avatar will appear in the middle of the page footer. And apparently Pale Moon hates some websites. They take forever to load but I think it is because those sites are optimized for IE. Yuck! So I have switched back to FF. Need to check into Opera's security features/plug-ins. If it can match FF I may start using it.
I tried Opera as well and I also did not like the layout. I currently have Palemoon and Firefox installed. I just upgraded to FF 8.0 and it seems to be working very well. I had trouble with crashes on previous versions of FF but 8.0 seems very stable so far.
I got stuck in a discussion on a Danish forum yesterday...The subject where browsers of course.....Anyway, one thing lead to another and while I surfed around Wikipedia I found this:

I just figured I would post it, as I find it very informative and kinda interesting...
I've been using the latest version of PaleMoon x64 as suggested by F$, and have to say it is quite speedy! Hasn't given me any issues. I liked Opera, but it had some slight issues with placing text and things in some forum software that in the end just wasn't worth it to me.
I too gave up on Opera. Just didn't like the interface and the way it did some things. I did have a problem with PaleMoon being incompatible with one or two FF extensions. I will try it again after their next major update.
I'd never use Chrome again, I've had a couple of issues where virus's use chrome.
Never again.
