Ok, so a couple days or maybe a few days ago, I asked if Google Chrome was worth the time. A lot said that it was, but also, many said Opera was better. Solidruss suggested that I download both (Thanks solidruss :oops: ) and I did and put both on a trial period of a few days. I ended up hating Google Chrome, but I loved Opera. The interface was so clean. Now I ask, how do YOU like Opera?

I DLed chrome the other day and I'm still not even sold on that over firefox. I prefer the traditional layout of FF.

I really really dislike Opera because it comes cluttered with features I don't use, the interface takes up too much screen real estate, and it's not as fast as other options like Chromium or Minefield.

FF is still my main.

And I take Chrome over Opera any day for some of the reasons Neon-Tiger mentioned and others I don't feel like mentioning ; )

Kind of off topic, but does anyone know how to make Chrome keep my page settings like how zoomed in I have a site?

No I mean like Ctrl+ to enlarge everything on the screen. For some reason my Chrome doesn't save the zoom when I exit and revisit the page.

I like Opera (just tried it yesterday for the first time), but I prefer FF. I find it strange that each new tab is like a new wiindow (at least, it appears as such in W7 with different windows of the same program is grouped together). I also like having the links to sites I go to often under the URL bar, rather than having to go to bookmarks. Speed dial is allright, but that only helps when there is a new tab.

Hmm weird. I can't reproduce your problem here, but I'm using Chromium dev builds, not Chrome.

I've been using Firefox for years but I've been looking for something better... FF keeps ****ing crashing for no reason and doesn't restore any of my pages. It really pisses me off. I have Chrome, I think I'll start giving it a try.

For Opera, how do you set it so when you open a new tab, it goes to your home page instead of the Speed dial thing?

Firefox is better. It has so many more extensions, and some that I could never do without.

You could use a custom new tab button. . .

I don't like Opera. It performs pretty poorly for me when compared to Iron/Chrome (obviously far superior to IE/FireFox though), and I hate the "speed" dial... that takes upwards of a minute to even load....
