[Internet] Opera Wins III

Webmonkey speed test;



This makes Opera, what, almost 4 times faster? Meh. I'll edit and post sunspider next.

[Internet] Opera Wins II.

There have been (in the past, as well as now) comments about Opera's lack of Facebook skillz and image loading issues. Well, suck on this bitches;


This page was loaded very quickly, and it didn't do any of that random 'page shaking' crap Gecko-based browsers (e.g Firefox, Flock) do. Also note that the chat and notification works perfectly, something even the latest firefox3rc sucks at.

Oh, and for you "I like AdBlock too much to switch!" and "Opera doesn't look right!" people, just look at the screenshot. No ads, and definitely a sexier interface than Firefox... Also featuring System Theme integration for Windows AND Linux AND Mac.

Yes, I use a Vista theme on XP. As much as I detest all things Microsoft, it makes NO F****** SENSE to press the damn Start button every time you want to shutdown your computer.

[Internet] Opera Wins.

Firefox 3 vs. Opera 9.5? As much as I hate to say this;

Opera WINS. Big time.

This isn't a formal comparison - but let's just consider these things;

* Cold Start Load Time Winner: Opera (by FAR)

* Warm Start Load Time Winner: Opera

* Standards Compliancy Winner: Opera

* Features Winner: Tie!!! Opera lacks features like the cool find and good spellcheck, but firefox is a real resource hog about it.

* Most Likely to be Supported Winner: Firefox (Though YOU can help change that.)

* Cooler Name Winner: Firefox (No contest. Opera is a pretty dumb name, no offense.)

* General Cool Factor Winner: Firefox (Now if Opera goes Open Source and gets a decent ad campaign...)

* Raw Speed Winner: Opera

* CSS/Javascript Speed Winner: Opera (by FAR)

* Page Load Time Winner: Opera

* Innovation/Integration Winner: Opera (it integrates very well with Linux with full static qt and gtk supported binaries - and it has it's own mail and chat and other cool stuff).
