linux-opera vs opera

[Anonymous]

Hi!

We have in ports linux-opera and opera.
What is different between this two ports, please? Is linux-opera faster as some users say? More plugins?

Thanks in advance.

Linux plugins can be used with the native Opera (source).

I dunno, I just use both of them so I can log into more than one account on the same webmail service. I guess opera(10.60) has private tabs now, though, so that may be redundant.

They run about equally as well & fast anyway.

linux-opera requires the use of the Linuxulator.

opera is a native FreeBSD binary.

Which is faster depends on the plugins that you use. If you need Adobe Flash, then you will have the Linuxulator installed already, and may as well use the Linux version of Opera. Then you get access to a lot more plugins. If you don't need Adobe Flash, then you can run the native version of Opera.
