Download.com being the favorite site I had a routine set up. Check the free latest ones out there, work on it, like them: put them , don't: discard. Out of such heap came products like Opera, Avant, Free Download Manager, Spybot Search & Destroy and many others. I got instant likeness to Opera seeing the speed with which the pages were being displayed and the ease with which the cookies and spam can be deleted and controlled. Before this I was working with Firefox.
Everything is fine up till now i.e. with evolution of web 2.0 technology. Here are the prime reasons why Opera is not for me
No 'StumbleUpon' bar. I don't know when they will get this extension.
Can't open Yahoo! Mail beta as it loses it's aesthetic sense.
Firefox allows you to have a IMDB Search engine just by clicking on the extensions available. Here you would have to download some exe, open it then do some code and stuff.
Some problem occurs when I try to blog as somehow the lines go beyond the vertical bar that appears to the right and invariably I would have to save it as draft and continue working on IE.
Even if these were my personal problems coming to my professional reasons I use MSDN Forums a lot. They appear so much out of sync. I mean this website is not yet compatible with Opera I believe.
Some of the reasons I preferred opera were its paste-and-go facility, background tab functionality and it's Speed Dial which I used less frequently anyway. All these functionalities and many more exciting add-ons are available at Firefox shop. Well it was after having a real bad experience trying to post a forum using Opera I decided enough is enough...and I repeat : To Hell with Opera , no where near FireFox and lacks themes, add-ons and evertyhing that makes Firefox the top of the lot out there...
