When the Mozilla Foundation released Firefox v1.0, we asked "what your thoughts were on the new browser."

Now that Opera 8.0 has been out for a little while, it is our turn to ask the same questions about it. Have you tried it? Are you using it? What do you think about it?

Back in October, we asked "Have You Tried Opera?" We didn't get much response to that poll, but out of those that did 61.9% said that they had at least tried Opera. I'm sure that number has increased since then, as I've managed to convert a few of our fellow members. tongue.gif

As always, this poll will run for a week (ends Sunday). Let the voting begin!

I went with not tried it sticking with firefox, been testing the 1.1 trunk for a while now, and using the 1.0 branch for general browsing... I guess I could give Opera a spin, though...

Opera's okay... in windows, I stick with FF; but in Linux, I use 50%-50% Opera-FF, Linux FF is not as good as WinFF, but Opera doesn't change.

I tried it, and it was great. But still there are little bugs in it that made me switch back to Firefox.

I'm a little disappointed. I wish I'd stayed with 7.54. What I miss is the buttons in the menu bar that allowed you to minimize or shut off the window you were in. Now I have to use the page bar which cuts down my viewing window. And I still can't get the wand to work properly. I'm still sticking with it as my primary, mostly because I can start scrolling any page without clicking it first, which I can't get with other browsers.

tried opera and firefox's older versions, theyre great but the biggest part about changing browsers is peeling yourself away from the old one.

Have you tried using a custom menu, or making your own? o.O Heck, I prefer a mouse gesture over a menu anyway. tongue.gif

I'm not sure what problems you have with the wand, have you tried asking for help?

Thanks d3, I did try both things, the menus for 8.0 are limited. I've tried the Opera forum a while back, didn't do as much there as I could, I'll try again.
