Re: new to opera
Well ultimately it comes down to personal preference. If you prefer Firefox then use it!However I feel that Opera is the superior browser overall. There have been far fewer security vunerabilities when compared to Firefox and Internet Explorer. Not only that, but Opera loads web pages far faster then any other browser.
It's got a clean interface that makes the most of the tabbed interface feature. It can be customised to your heart's content and is fully skinnable.
Opera 9 beta has introduced widgets too. Although so far I have to say i'm unconvinced. They are a bit gimmicky and pointless to be honest - not in the same league as Firefox's extensions.
I am not knocking Firefox, it's a very good browser.

Re: new to opera
i know IE's got more security holes than a pack of polos, what do you reckon to netscape or is thatcrap too

Oh, you mean Nutscrape
It's terrible
I was an avid Netscape user up to version 7.2. It was a very good browser. However version 8 is just a bloated skin for Internet Explorer. Needless to say, all of the security vunerabilities in IE are inherited into Netscape.
My advice: Leave it well alone!
Re: new to opera
Firefox is open-source. I helped review and suggest changes in the code for the download manager (still not perfect I know). For me, Opera proprietary while good. Firefox is just a bit foxier.
Never trust a program you don't have the source code for.

Re: new to opera
i think Firefox should ditch their download manager and start again. I'd like to see it incorporated as a tab, much like how Opera's download manager works.
One thing I really like about Firefox is the way it handles RSS feels. I can lay them all out across my personal toolbar and access the feeds from the drop down menu that appears when you click an RSS feed.
Re: new to opera
An RSS feed is a live bookmark. If I choose to bookmark an RSS feed, a bookmark folder is created under the name of the website. In that folder will be bookmarks that get updated and changed automatically. Hardware Forums has an RSS feed. I don't have to visit HWF to see if there are any new threads. Instead, I can just look at the HWF feed for any new threads!
If you are using Firefox or Opera, click the orange RSS button to accept the HWF feed
Re: new to opera
i agree about download manager, but what does RSS mean ?
Re: new to opera
ok, sorry, An RSS feed is a live bookmark or favuorite but what does it stand for ?Try re-reading my last post
Re: new to opera
RSS = Really Simple Syndicate.
It uses a special XML markup which updates itself every time there is new news, threads or just about anything. HWFs uses it to provide new thread alerts. In firefox click the orange icon in the address bar in HWFs, and save it to your bookmarks toolbar, or your bookmarks menu. I have it in menu. Then click it (or hover if its in menu) and you'll see a list of new threads. It updates itself every few minutes, you can manually update it by right clicking>reload.
