Opera Web Browser

[mbpark]

Hello,

I am using Opera, IE7 (for work), and Firefox 2.0 (I like 1.5 much better) on my laptop.

I also use Opera Mini on my Blackberry 8700.

Opera puts out a consistently working browser that doesn't need the hacks which IE needs, and which IE7 breaks .

The page magnification works excellently.

The CPU requirements are very low.

The supported platform list is very large.

The engine is small enough to be shoehorned into a Windows CE device, and can take full advantage of XP and 2003. I have not run it on Vista, nor do I care to.

In short, I really like this browser, and have started to use it for daily work. I've seen both Firefox and IE7 hiccup on many things which Opera doesn't choke on.

On my Blackberry, it actually renders pages very well. The Cingular browser has many issues and will often crash. Opera Mini does not.

I highly recommend this browser. It's small, quiet, does what you need, and doesn't eat memory like Firefox.

I didn't know about this feature--I like it! It's great for my shitty eyesight. (The corresponding CTRL/+ of Firefox just blows up the font.)
