Using Opera vs Firefox

[DavidS]

If you are just after a speedy basic web browser then try Google Chrome.

Fair enough, but Opera is anything but basic.

I have google chrome and find tiles useful. However, I have duplicate tiles and wish to delete surplus and generally manage. Whenever I try to get help, just get asked to download GC again.

The easiest way is to download this version: Opera@USB : EN : download your free version of mobile Opera:. If you are already using opera you will want to copy across bookmarks, password settings mail contacts etc, and this Update Opera to Version 10.x / Opera Backup - English - Opera@USB tells you how to do that.

I only now use opera@usb now, even at home: it's just easier for me to copy stuff across to keep things synchronised (although Opera will do most of that for you through opera link, it doesn't transfer contacts cookies and password data).

Firefox is great browser and fast. Opera is actually slower than Firefox. My internet is supposed to be 5Mbps and Opera only runs at 2.4Mbps while Firefox runs at 4.5Mbps on both Windows and Linux.

This was always rubbish: the current version of Opera, 10.6, is QUICKKKKKKKK
