It is not slow. It is faster than most. But it is a real RAM eater. You can easily get the RAM usage to 500MB in a short while.

You can't customize it the way you want it. It doesn't behave like a program designed for Windows (I mean, things people expect to happen, just don't happen)

Lots of usability issues are there. If you need speed and security, use Opera. If you need to be able to customize and better support for third party software, you Firefox.

Ooh! Is Opera speeder than FF even after FF is tuned? U said tht Safari is faster but... nah! not here! So I'm cool with FF...

Opera was crashing constantly on Vista x64 and I guess it was a problem with my profile. I deleted the profile (I could afford to do that since it's only 1 day old :D) and it hasn't crashes eversince.

Can some Opera fan suggest me an adblocker which can block not just the urls (which is inbuild in Opera) but ad frames as well? The content blocker doesn't seem to "catch" adframes :(

U DELETED UR PROFILE! :lol: :shocked:

    ;) ;) Opera is faster than FF, I mean not in loading time. But in rendering webpages.:D :D

    You know why IE is the fastest to load among browsers? It load some of it's stuff at startup so when you actually want to open IE it has less stuff to load.

    Opera loads lot faster than Firefox as well. TBH, my Firefox profile is much much bigger than Opera's...


    However, IE is separate from Explorer in the case of Vista, so your argument is not quite valid there. Hell, Vista prefetches EVERY program you use :D

    Wow! that might need a hell lot of ram. :shocked: :shocked:
    Thankfully I'm not using vista.
    It uses what you have, and free whenever you need them for something else. Even XP prefetches a lot.

    Looks like I have many things to learn. But I'll never go vista, not too soon. About XP I've edited the startup and services through msconfig. The only icons displaying in the taskbar now is ZoneAlarm and Network. ;)
    My linux habits demand XP to be hacked and polished out, so it will work the way I want. I'll go on experimenting with XP on my desktop. But I still couldn't bring myself to change the OEM version in my notebook.
