    "GREAT BROWSER THE ONLY ONE I USE FOR OVER A YEAR NOW"

    August 31, 2012  |   By musicman4you

    Pros

    It has everything I need and more than I will ever need right out of the box.It has never crashed on me in over a year so it is very stable.

    Cons

    No cons for me and I think it is a little faster in this new update.

    Summary

    I love Opera and it is the only Browser I use now and have used in over a year.I'm glad I don't have all those problems and issues that people are having with Firefox and Google Chrome.Firefox was the best way back in the day.The last version of Firefox I liked was 3.5.6 but it has gone downhill every since and those rapid release updates are not helping out.Anyways Opera works great for me surfing,buying etc.Not sure if Google Chrome is all that safe on Privacy.

    No surprise you have an old machine - what are you going to do when Microsoft no longer supports XP?

    @Several9920 Hey I just clicked on your Reviews.I noticed you didn't like Malwarebytes or Avira.I like and use both of them also along with CCLeaner,SuperAntispyware and SpywareBlaster but I don't work for any of them.I also use an older version of ZoneAlarm FireWall.

    @Several9920 You are crazy.No I don't work for Opera.Im just a happy user and yes I tell people how much I like it.I don't have the problems with sites you have.Im on XP and Opera works better for me than Firefox or Google Chrome.Firefox was the best back around version 3.5.6 and 3.5.8.Yeah I like Opera.Call me a Fanboy if you want to because I am a Fan but thats crazy thinking I work for them.LOL.I think Opera is very underrated and better than Firefox or Chrome.Thats my honest opinion and Im sticking by it.Think whatever you want.Thats fine with me.LOL :-) Oh they are in another Country and Im in the USA and work for them.I have heard it all now.LOL

    Opera is crap. I am beginning to think you work for them. When i had Opera installed i couldn't perform simple tasks like checking my email, Not to mention certain pages wouldn't even load correctly. Opera does work for some but certainly not for me. I read the reply you left me months ago, But i decided to click on your name to read other posts and sure enough another gloating Opera browser post left by you. Opera is overrated at best i think you have some affiliation with Opera based on your posts, Nothings that good.
