Why Opera Is Better Than Mozilla

October 2, 2004 By Ian Bell

Robin over at Iceteks has posted a short editorial explaining why Opera is better than Mozilla. Our personal favorite around here lately has been Firefox.

Quote from the editorial:

“Why Opera is better than Mozilla There are several reasons why I think Opera is better than Mozilla. These reasons are probably all personal, but hey, I can’t help that. First and foremost, I like that Opera comes with a lot more features. Now I can just hear everyone going: “Yeah but they’re probably all useless.” I don’t think that’s true. Take the “continue from last time”-option at the start-up. Sometimes I do that, sometimes I open Opera without any pages opened (another option), sometimes I continue a session I saved earlier. I really like that feature. Another one of those features is the built-in IRC client. If I need help with Opera or just want to chat, I can go to the Opera IRC channel and talk to people (don’t expect official support though). So, the features are not all useless. Oh yeah, before I forget, Opera has a pop-up blocker too. “

Colin at 1:01pm 30th October 2007 Yes, but remember, those are add-ons, not built in. True, but opera offered it first, is what he perhaps meant.. point being Firefox is the best browser for a reason, because only n00bs use it, Opera is a more difficult browser to operate because it is not built for people who just use the web to go on Myspace.com or update their websites, it's MEANT for people who've been using the web for years. Firefox is just too n00bish, if you want to look like you know something when you screenshot your desktop, that's what Opera is for.

Chatzilla....

" Oh yeah, before I forget, Opera has a pop-up blocker too. "

Even Microsoft are on that bandwagon.

This is a poor argument on the behalf of opera really. Not that i disagree with the overall statement but i doubt anyone's been converted by this.
