Opera uses less resources than firefox; both memory and CPU usage. So, in low memory systems Opera performs better(Its from my experience @ college lab :-P ) Still I promote firefox and its clones like iceweasel and icecat as its free and can further be enhanced using addons. In my system I have more than 4 browsers including iceweasel, Opera, IEs4Linux, Konqueror, Epiphany, etc as I need to check my web designs for browser compatibility. =================================        .--.         |o_o |       |:_ /  |      / /     \ \     (|        | )    /'\_   _  /  `\    \___)=(___/ http://maheshmohan.wordpress.com മഹേഷ് മോഹന്‍ എം.യു ================================= On Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 6:58 AM, Syam Krishnan <sya...@gmail.com> wrote: V.

Opera was / is a pioneer and a lot of celebrated features that we see in today's browsers (tabs, for example) were introduced by Opera. But in the beginning, they had these ugly Ad banners that made using Opera a not-so-ejoyable affair. It was after version 6 or so that they made it a freeware (free of cost, of course). Firefox enjoys all the media attention for being "free software", while Opera, still being far superior to IE (and even Firefox when it comes to web standards) is little known. Except for the power of extensions (addons) and flawless malayalam rendering, I believe Firefox is inferior to Opera. (no flames please..). Syam -- With love and regards, Tvm.
