IEEE1394 writes: "Ever wondered what other Internet browsers are available outside of Internet Explorer? Opera 6.03 from Opera Software boasts itself on being 'the fastest browser on earth.' Does it really live up to its claim of being unique and being fast? Is it the wild child of the browser family and can it ever surpass Internet Explorer as the browser of choice? Let's find out." Funny, IE isn't my browser of choice ...

  1. Unfortunately... by jgerman · · Score: 2, Redundant

    and to my constant shame, IE is MY browser of choice. For the most part it is simply the best (god I feel sick), I prefer Opera for the features, but for rendering web pages, IE is it. Maybe if I got off of my ass and started looking into anti-aliasing for X I might feel different. As far as Opera is concerned, I really like it, and have had few problems other than rendering quality, though now that I think about it, Opera under Windows may blow IE away.

  2. IE Required? by Kettleboy · · Score: 1, Redundant

    I use Opera at home. My online bank says that I must use IE or NN to do my banking, Opera won't work. Inside Opera, I pick the option that disguises Opera as IE and presto-chango, I can now use all of the online bank services.
    I suspect other web sites that reject Opera could be similiarly fooled.
