I was not trying to be to mean and being argumentative, forgive me. :( I would like to know besides the extensions for firefox problem why do you like oprea better, what does it do that's different, I never tried it? I've just read reports on them.

Opera can:
---Save your last activites...once you open Opera you can also check your previous activities and can also playback your fave sites...
---Manage and Save Sessions...example, You Openned 3 sites in One Window (Tabbing) then you wanna exit and you wanna see them again when you open Opera, you can use the Save Session menu....
---Torrent Tranfer....you can now Open Torrent Files in Opera
---Image Saving.....although you will always have to click right-click to save images, but Opera save the deafult extension name of the file unlike in IE and sometimes in Firefox
---Bookmarks....Bookmarking in Opera is much way easier than others....i can't exactly explain it but it's very nice and easy, just a drag-and-drop...and many ways to Bookmark sites....
---Opera used lesser Memory
---History...check out your History anytime...
---Customized View...you can Zoom in and out by pressing the + and - sign
---Password and Usename made easy, just click ctrl+Enter then you're log-in automatically, you can use it anytime in any sites, evertime i go here in BAF i just click cntlr+Enter then i was automatically signed-in...

many features are here in Opera, they defined Opear as '' for advanced Users'', although i still have to explore some other things here in Opera....

The torrent transfer and the customized view sound like a big plus...I want it be considered an "advanced user"! :( lol

you can always be an adavanced user....you can always try it...
by the way the Opera also have ''Autosaves'' sometimes you open a site, but once you close the Opera browser Opera will automatically save all the sites that you've last openned including the history in it, so you'll find yourself continuing your last activity....
unlike in other browsers, they just annoyingly brought you to their homepage so you'll always type and always thinking where were your last activity....but in Opera you can always stay relax, just close it out and then just open it again tommorow and then continue your last work...

Firefox has extensions like session mangaer and tab mix plus that does the same thing, but I am going to look into Opera and might try it.

Does Opera have alot of extentions that people can download like firefox?

i never tried to look for some extensions that Opera has...and i don't know even if they have some...

I will try to use opera to see if it is that good as keiichiroy says.
All browsers tend to eat more memory as they stay active or you install more extensions.
I have 83 extentions on my firefox and it doens't eat too much memory. (~50mb at startup, that is expected.)

I use Firefox to navigate with tranquillity in various sites, despite of using more memory. With the extensions it is still better.
In the case of the Opera, I only use to navigate in japaneses sites.
For me, each browser is a particularity to navigate due the visualizing of the pages and the behavior scripts codes (For example: Javascripts compatible with IE, Plugins and Objects).

Exists web pages that are not compatible with certain browsers.

In my Firefox the extensions that more I use are:
• Screen Grab! (Takes a screenshot in the browser - Java absolutely necessary);
• Adblock (Block sites address suspicious - For example: Ads);
• Web Developer (I use to active/desactive javascripts actions and meta-redirections for a safe navigation, but offer others options);
• CookieSafe (Block/Allow cookies activity);

Others extensions:
• HTML Validator;
• CSSViewer (View the CSS attribute inside of Firefox);
• IE Tab (Allows you to use the mechanism of exhibition of IE inside of Mozilla/Firefox);
• IE View (Allows the current page or a selected link to be opened in Internet Explorer);
• DOM Inspect;
• Talkback (Submit a crash report to Mozilla.org);

Almost forgetting, try type "about:mozilla" in your Firefox to see a phrase.

Change Adblock to Adblock Plus and install the Adblock Filterset.g

I found a really good article on opera 9 vs firefox 1.5
http://willlangford.com/2006/06/22/firefox-15-vs-opera-9/

only 2 i need are;
flashblock and adlock

a very nice article ssetbob7, hehehehe that's a reliever, anywayz i just use firefox to download streaming videos like in youtube and video google...the auther and i have almost the same observations about Opera...OPERA ROCKS!!!

I think both are good browsers and each has a strong side and all.
I stick to ff until some other browser show a better outstanding reason for change.
(like i did to ie -> ff)

and i also uses Opera to hack some images and other goods...hehehe just a little secret....

I don't see why people feel the need to install all these extensions into their browser. Maybe it is just me but I haven't felt limited with anything the standard Opera installation includes.

I'm not going to further argue the point of whether Opera or Firefox is better because in the end it is simply a matter of personal preference with minor technical advantages on either side.
