Firefox.
Although I only say that because I use Firefox and have never even tried Opera.

You're welcome for no real imput to your question :)

Firefox seems fine, no real bugs apart from that glitch where it sometimes deletes all of your bookmarks.

Opera Web Browser is the best. Opera's tabs system > Firefox's tabs system.

I used both back in the day and gradually shifted to Firefox (only). I honestly dont know why though, maybe cuz Opera gave me an AOL feeling oer somthing. I've also been trying to get back into IE with their tabbed browsing but its not working out as I hoped.

i think that firefox is much more faster and more easier to access becaused you can open links much easier and zoom out and in easier compared to IE

I've tried Opera...pretty nice browser, but Firefox is just the best... Anyways, anything is better than IE.

What do u mean by this?


He means that, using Firefox, you can zoom in or out the text of a webpage easier than in IE. Just press CTRL+ to zoom in and CTRL- to zoom out

You can do that for Opera Web Browser as well. and some of the Num Keys have preset zooms. E.g. * = normal zoom.

ive been using firefox for a while and i love it. Ive never used opera and never heard of it up till today, so i might check it out. Ive also never had the bookmark deletion prob, but theres minor problems when using this site on firefox, mainly when replying. And can anyone tell me what the hell that thing is next to "Getting Started" on the firefox toolbar??? A horse? A dinosaur? i have no idea

Opera is the fastest that I've tried. Very fast. But I still use Firefox just because it's more compatible with webpages, and I love the extensions you could add to it.
