Although I'm not quite an opera guy (i like mozilla better!), but I like the "Opera Voice" where it can read and do your commands.

Opera also passes the "Acid TEST" for being CSS Standards compliant. It was only the second one to do so, Konquerer being the first.

I have used Opera for a few years (got it when you had to pay for it) and I have never looked back. It is standards compliant and has all the features you need built into the sidebar: RSS reader, access to emails, download manager, IRC...

I also do the same as jlhaslip, using Opera (or Konqueror on my laptop) to check my page designs, then applying various hacks and fixes to get IE to do what it is supposed to.

I use Internet Explorer, Firefox, Netscape navigator and opera . but I prefer Internet explorer for submiting private informations and doing businesses and transactions for it's security, and if I go to download websites and websites that have lots of images and photos in there pages I use Opera for them cause opera looks fast with this kind of websites.
so, every explorer have it's work

I've been using opera for about 7-8 years now. I'm so used to browsing in opera that I'm a bit biased towards other browsers (not ie though - it really sucks). Event though I really like opera I think it need to improve in the following fields:
1) When developing a website (on localhost) opera has a tendency of storing the pages in cache which caused me a lot of headache initially as the pages were not updating as i changed the code. (this problem has been reduced in the latest versions though )
2)The torrent feature doesn't download at a good enough speed. (If anyone knows the solution to this plz share)
3)Widgets are mostly useless.
4)Issues with some sites.(google pages etc)

btw I really liked the new speed dial feature.

I'm definitely for Opera, but I don't like the torrent feature at all. It's too slow, not detailed, most of the time doesn't perform nearly as well as a client [like uTorrent], it's missing a lot of the features I like to use, and so on and so forth. Also there's no way to tell Opera to use a different torrent client by default. I have to copy torrent links and have uTorrent grab them. I think this feature should be removed, at least until they can get a more definite solution. But then again, I'd feel weird leaving my browser open all night downloading torrents. Dunno why...

BUT, that's my only real issue with Opera. It's got a ton of other great features that I'm suprised other browsers haven't copied yet, like mouse gestures, the search shortcut, voice control, etc. And it's still faster than every other one.

Well here's a way:

1) tools>preferences>advanced>downloads

2) uncheck the "hide files types associated with opera" box

3) then find application/x-bittorent>highlight it and click edit

4) select open with default/other application

There is a solution for the websites that were not designed for opera. If you are browsing the internet and you get a website that says you need IE or firefox for it to work, ( the web designers didnt do anything about it so opera did ) all you have to do is right click on the website and select edit site preferences then go to the network tab and in the bottom you will see Browser identification and a drop down menu with identify as Opera selected. All you have to do is change that to identify as internet explorer or identify as firefox which ever you like and now the website that was giving you an error will work. I go this problem when I was trying to access my online account on ny school website but opera wasnt supported, so i tried this method and now i can access my account from opera. try it and let me know if it works for u

Well its right that opera has got torrent support but i like to use internet explorer instead of opera.I am currently using internet explorer 7.0...its fast and tries to match the speed of opera.I used opera once ,but I had some problem while I was trying to open some sites using opera,therefore I switched my browser to internet explorer 7.0...this explorer just rocks as I can every site with this

But I still want to use opera instead of internet explorer ...This is because it has torrent support and more to offer..but with opera there,s some script error and therefore I cannot use opera

Never used Opera, may start using it thought. Although it is torrent supported, internet explorer is windows supported, which the majority of us have a windows. I would say internet explorer is probably better, but as I mentioned I haven't got Opera. FireFox is the best out of all the browers though, everyone knows that.

Opera vs IE 7..
Then win IE 7

Opera is not for me Im using Mozilla Firefox and I hate Opera for some reasons and mostly for reason
that Many webs are not shows good at opera and they are not optimalized for it. Then I love IE because when I have
bad script at site he all time find it and I can repair it bu Firefox and opera Ignore some little script faults..
IE 7 is comfortable and there are good security ways now and updates. And I hate opera for that torrent support

I'd say Internet Explorer over Opera, just because I'm a die-hard IE fan

Most websites aren't made to be compatible with Opera, which would be frustrating to actually try to browse in piece.
