Opera vs. Firefox

Postby Edward » Thu 01 Jul, 2004 5:52 pm

OSNews has an article by one of their special contributors who compared Opera with Firefox. The article is three pages, but includes images of how each browser displayed a certain web page.

The article is here.

Actually, the author was pretty fair and balanced, and discussed the strengths and flaws of both browsers. He prefers Opera, but recommends trying Firefox to Opera users. Good article. :)

Opera is, more or less final, while Firefox is still trying to find its way from losing some excellent Extentions, which have not been replaced or updated.
