Opera under Edgy

[Cyraxzz]

Anyone else getting lag from it? Firefox 2.0 is quite stable for me.

I actually use Swiftfox 2.0, which is even better, and Opera only for compatibility issues: I can access some websites through Opera, but not through Firefox, I wonder how, since they are equally standards-compliant, as long as I know...

Nah, opera is more standards compliant than firefox is. But, on the flip side, it is proprietary, doesn't integrate as well with linux as FF, and doesn't have the same scope of extensions, despite having a prospering community.

Actually Opera is much more standreds complinent.

Also I used it a little and it ran perfectly fan (other then a lack of polish)

I've actually been getting a little bit of lag with it on edgy sometimes. Still use it though and it hasn't bothered me enough to figure out why.

I though I'd add a little to this thread.

Since the folks at Mozilla at taking their sweet time fixing the recently announced "Password Disclosure Bug", I switched to using Opera 9. I've tried it before but really couldn't get use to the interface. After using it for a week now, I really have to say that I'm *really* digging it.

I highly recommend Opera

Yuck, Swiftfox is non-free. Why support software that takes away a freedom its parent gives you. The right to redistribute. Thats why its not in the repositories.

I find Opera is bit slow to start up, but once it is up, it works just fine.

Well, sometimes I get quite pragmatic, and if it works better, then I just use it (especially when my system gets deadly slow - at this point I think usability matters more than the right to redistribute something), and as it's been pointed out on another thread, the developer gives the source code freely to anyone who wants it, and I think it's also fear enough.

And by the way, I found Flock to be much faster and less resource-hungry than both Firefox and Swiftfox, the only problem being that it's based on Firefox 1.5 and not all the FF extensions work.

My two €cents.

There is only a less than one second speed difference between Swiftfox and Firefox,it isn't worth it.
