Opera 9 Beta

Actually site specific preference is extremely practical ~

I already use Opera but i'll wait for the RC of 9 before getting that :]

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Please.

Don't try to say Opera is anything like an adware program. Its the best browser available.

• Biggest thing that bothers me is how it can't assume desired website like Firefox. If I type in "Pedro's Tracker" in Firefox's address bar, it will google that and take me to the first result, which would actually be btmusic.org:2710. Opera can certainly wrap www. and .com/.org/.net around a single word, like if I entered "gamingforce", but it doesn't have that same functionality as Firefox; it will google the false address and take me to the search results. I have become quite accustomed to this feature in Firefox, especially for websites like btmusic.org:2710 that are somewhat of a chore to type manually.
• Search engines next to the address bar. I want more, I want them in the order that I want, and I want to be able to delete them when I want.
• Don't try to open and run my torrent files. uTorrent > you
• Doesn't have Adblock + Filterset.G, which makes my online experience 99% ad-free.
• When I use Opera to save a webpage, it only saves the HTML. Sorry but I need the images and CSS as well.

There are a few technical advantages Opera has. RAM usage, HTML/CSS rendering, security. But in a strange way, I value useability over these kinds of features.

I guess you're just bad at using Opera? In the address bar type "g pedo" and it will google pedo. You can just click once, don't be lazy.

My Opera doesn't have a search bar anywhere on it. Opera is considerably more customizeable that Firefox, so i guess you never tried removing or adding more?

Opera doesn't try to open my torrent files. Did you bother opening the "options" in Opera or what.

You can get both adblock and filtersets for Opera. Adblock is a seperate system, it isn't a Firefox exclusive feature.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

My Opera 8 has 0 search bars, its not an Opera 9 exclusive feature.

Also, if you don't want to bother digging through "advanced options" then of course you'll have complaints. If you expert it to work exactly like Firefox without changing anything, then what do you expect? Its not that easy to switch, but theres no point in listing negatives if you're not going to try to make it useable for you.

Its definately harder to use with Opera 8 rather than firefox, and i guess Opera 9 has it built in, but its not FF exclusive.

Anyway, if you're used to Firefox then theres no real point in switching to Opera unless you feel you need to.
