Which is Better, Firefox or Opera?

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."

    As it turns out, the largest population of black jews come from Ethiopia. Therefore, it's entirely reasonable that an Ethiopian wouldn't eat food that wasn't kosher.

    Geez, some of the comments get tagged as flamebait when they are an honest answer. Fucking morons need to learn how to interact with others and realise when somebody is expressing an opninon. You are as bad as those damn bible thumpers which go psycho on people who aren't with thier certain group.

    save your politically correct karma whoring bollocks for somewhere more appropriate, like no where. each browser has the same use, web browsing.

    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.

    What a waste of a +1 insightful mod point. If you use Opera or even read the comments you'll see that many sites do not render properly. Meta-mod this please. They should stick to modding up comments they know something about.

    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....
