Last weeks poll had more votes in it than I can remember ever seeing in a poll. Almost 150 people voted.

While the Official OCC Polls will not always be related, or even have something to do with technology, I wanted to continue this week.

As many know, I am a fan of the Opera web browser. I know we have a few other die hard fans as well, but I wanted to ask the same question I asked about Firefox last week. Have you ever tried Opera? Yes or No. I'm not asking if you still use it, only if you have ever tried it.

Remember, this is not to debate what browser is better. If you wish to do that, please do so in the Browser War threads.
Browser Wars - Windows
Browser Wars - Linux


OCC Polls will run for about a week, and then will be closed.

I tried it, but since I didn't want to have to buy it to get rid of the banner, I stick with firefox. Besides firefox has a cooler name >_>

I tried it, but that was well over a year ago. Personally, I found it to be better than IE, but not good enough to pay for

Opera is simply the best web browser.

I tried Opera and liked it, just got annoyed with the nagging banner. If I were going to pay for a web browser, I would go Opera.

Opera works very well for me as does Firefox, I'm stile evaluating both to see which I will keep, they are both very good browsers. :D

I have loved Opera from the first time I played with it... I don't get pop-ups I don't want, I use mouse gestures instead of buttons as the norm, and now with the 7.6 beta... Well, just look...

Posted Image

NOTE: I did not modify Opera, Gmail, or anything else in regards to how I got this to work... I just have my browser identify itself as Opera instead of IE (otherwise the buttons don't work) :)

EDIT: I linked the pic instead because it was too big
