Which is Better, Firefox or Opera?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the fat-lady-slender-fox dept.

Roblimo writes "Firefox and Opera are the two most popular cross-platform Web browsers. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Kris Shaffer tested them side-by-side on SUSE Linux 9.1, Mac OS X Panther, and Windows 2000, and decided that your choice may depend more on what you *do* with your browser than anything else, unless (as is the case for many of us) Opera is off the table from the start because it's not open source."

    The Jewish policy is the same. There are three sins which one should die rather than commit (idolatry, murder, incest) -- otherwise, saving a life overrides all prohibitions and requirements.

    Amaya!

    Years ago, at a W3C conference, I nearly got into a fistfight with the Amaya folks (they swung first!). I was the senior engineer on a GUI HTML editor project and they wanted to know why I didn't test the output on Amaya. I told them it's because "Amaya doesn't matter." That's when they started swinging....
