There might not be anything wrong with Opera. Think about all the sites that only show properly when IE is used.

True, but this is useless to know: The pages still don't work in Opera, no matter whose fault it is.

Actually, this is what makes me wanna switch to Firefox occasionally -- lots of these cool and super-modern pages, like Facebook, don't work well in Opera. But whenever I start Firefox I go like "Ughhhh" and it's back to Opera for me.

I'm definitely looking forward to having working Google Chrome on FBSD -- it's my browser of choice on those systems that support it, Opera is the second for me.

Edit: Riiight. I clicked killasmurf's link to see his minimal desktop and all I get is:
You are using a browser that is not fully supported. Some features may not work too well, but you are welcome to have a look around.

I had same feeling when I was switching from Opera to Firefox many years ago.

Like which ones? I remember all these addons bloating Firefox even more, becoming a general PITA when you have too many of them loaded.

Nothing now, I managed to view your gallery, but it still keeps me warning that Opera is not fully supported.

Google doesn't seem to like Opera in general -- a few days ago I got an invite for Google Wave (totally useless toy, if you ask me), but I had to use Firefox, because it didn't work at all with Opera.

It looks like everyone is trying to push Opera away, and I hate to say it, but they are being quite successful.

Well, we can hope that it may Force Opera to release source... and let community fix it :D [small, but still a chance]
 
I don't know under which circumstances 'Firefox will take gigs of memory', but I've never seen it, and I'm using it with quite a number of add-ons plus Flash10. It uses 140M (RES), it never crashes or freezes my system, and it starts up in just a handful of seconds (even the first time). FUD indeed.
 
Its very easy to make Firefox take 400MB+ on our machine, juts leave it for 1/2-1 day and keeps browsing with it
 
it realy did that for me daily maybe case I use it for 8 hour without closing or restart t , it turn after one hour to freeze many time and taking mush of memory even some time I kill it from shell , this turn development to hell ,every thing not design I test it with opera it make my life easer thanks God that there something that I hope t will provide binary for freebsd case it make life easer for me and I hope it will make that for every one
 
for firebug simmiler tools take a look on dragon fly http://www.opera.com/developer/

and there thing called user script ( similer to greasmonky ) even you can use the former script I never try that
for cookie I think you view edit and view cookies throw option provided by opera
I search for web developer and I find plugin for opera but it kind of old
for other thing take a look at this it is kind of funny things http://widgets.opera.com/

I have FF on about 16 hours a day on my laptop. It never goes much higher than 180M (after 6 hours, it's a 145M RES now). And this is with NoScript, AdBlock, Flash, the works.

I don't understand why are you so fancy about Opera Binary....
Have you ever used pkg_add?

Try this:
# pkg_add -r firefox35

Guess what will it do?

You're an administrator, other people do different work (authors, journalists etc.) and after 8h I have about 500+Mb for Firefox, while blocking adverts etc. with Privoxy. That said, it sucks less at least at the moment. Opera has different problems, like a lousy JS engine in 10.x, incompatible with many pages.

DD, 32bit? Mine's over 200 MB RES and I just logged into my PC now to read forums.freebsd.org. :)

(64bit tho)

I switched from 32-bit to 64-bit recently, and the numbers appear to be virtually the same. I'm now at 156M.

Oh, come on, Oliver ;) My browsing behaviour cannot simply be defined by me being 'an administrator' (which is 10% of my work, and 1% of my FF use). I'm in R&D and innovation, I do research, I have hundreds of RSS feeds ranging from the NYT to Slashdot to ICHC, and everything in between ... and I read a lot of stuff in a day. Why my FF is magically well-behaved, I do not know. Perhaps that's the 'luck of the administrator'!

Firefox fears that if it misbehaves, you will come and edit it to submission. :D
 
How are you gentlemen.

All your base are belong to us.

You are on the way to destruction.

You have no chance to survive make your time.
