What browser do you use and why?
-
I use Chrome. Reason being that when I switched to a Mac Book Pro and OS X a year ago, the only solution I could reasonably live with was Chrome.
Opera was too slow on the Mac and M2 was out of the picture due to a corporate MS Exchange policy (Outlook 2011 :-/).
-
I'm using Chrome and Firefox at work, Chrome on tablet and smart phone, and Chromium at home on my Lubuntu Linux laptop. Chrome and Chromium I use because of easy to use synchronization, thus making it easy to continue browsing on another device. Firefox I use especially for work related issues. For example Moodle learning environment works best on Firefox.

Desktop: Opera developer (professional ties)
Android: Firefox due to ad-block extension. Slightly painful though as even without ads it is slower than Chrome and Opera with ads. -
Opera Stable/18 is my browser […].
I use Opera on my Android too, but it […] on that tiny screen, cannot log in/open here, vivaldi.net. That's a pity.That's what it looks like on my Android device using Opera 18 – quite nice:
I use Opera 18 for Android there on the phone, though I habe to admit, I probably do it because of sentimental feelings towards Opera; I find UX (eg arrangement of menus) and features (eg addons) of Firefox a lot more intriguing. :whistle:

The day I heard Opera was switching to Chromium, I switched to Chrome to get used to a Chromium-based browser. Been using Chrome stable (have Canary installed too though) ever since. Haven't switched back to Opera as their hasn't been any reason too (no tab features for example). I'm also liking that Chrome supports h.264 and all the other media goodness. I no longer really have to worry about compatibility. I still test Opera Dev though.
Used Opera Mail 1.0 with Chrome for a long time, but recently switched to Thunderbird (stable). Opera Mail preferences UI is buggy and incomplete and was never fixed. There are some long-standing bugs that were never fixed. And, there's no hope for new features. Besides, I can do just about everything I want in Thunderbird with tags + filters + saved searches + custom views. And, Thunderbird supports a lot more things (IMAP QUOTA, Read Receipts, IMAP Server-side Searching, Aliases/Identities, Distribution List, encryption and signing (via Enigmail and GnuPG), vCard etc.).

Oh, thanks for your confirmation.
I can log-in with Opera on Android now. It seems that was the temporal log-in issue. -
Hello,
I am still getting Opera (Presto) uses as it remains the browser that works best for me, Mail, Note, Buttons & Actions, configuration menus …
-
Opera 12.14 (since 12.16 does not allow setting default search engine to startpage.com), Firefox for any problem sites. Not even looked at O18+ and doubt I will.
-
I'm using Opera 18 on my work computer cause Opera 12.xx was completely crashing it (it's a Mac Pro). The weird thing is that on my MacBook Air, Opera 12.xx works fine, so I use it on it.
I'm trying to stay with Opera cause I'm a loyal fan, and Opera 18 is fast; I like the Speed Dial and Stash for pages I want to read later. I prefer to check my email on the website instead of having a mail client (though I'm willing to try a few of them to see how it goes); I don't miss bookmarks because most of my reading is on Feedly and I save the articles I like there; I can install Chrome extensions on it; I do miss Opera Link though.
In any case, Opera 18 is working for me now

I'm using Opera 12.16 on Windows XP, the latest portable version (Opera@USB). This works best on my old laptop, and when versions change I don't have to install anything anew, I just replace the folder and keep the profile. However, on certain sites (WordPress being the most annoying), the fonts change dramatically on Opera (the webfonts issue), so I use Firefox or SeaMonkey. I think I stay with Opera mostly due to speed and the decent memory usage.
On my smartphone I also use Opera for Android. Hard to tell why. I guess I'm an Opera fan… I'm using it as my main desktop browser since version 6. -
Where to start?..
Windows 7:
Opera 8.54 just for mail at home. Just because!
Opera 9.24 for mail and RSS at work. Latest not crippled interface of M2.
Opera 12.15 for general browsing, Unite apps (mostly sharing).
Firefox Aurora or IE for hard cases of incompatibility.Android tablet:
Opera Mobile Classic - primary
Firefox, Opera Blink, Maxthon - secondaryiPad:
Opera Mini - primary
Safari - secondaryNokia 808 - Symbian Belle:
Opera Mobile - primary
Default browser - secondaryLong story to tell why I use Opera Presto in general. But in quick:
[ul]- ability to operate with dozens or even hundreds tabs,
- you ride the Web not otherwise.
[/ul]

Opera 12.16
And it's not going to get updated to the AU version!
I used to have the Chromified Next & Dev builds as my main browsers but they just aren't progressing fast enough to make them comfortable. Too many killer features are still missing while the devs work on extending themes and playing with media features.
-
First of all Opera 12.15 & 11.64
On webkit I like CoolNovo or SRWare Iron. -
I was an avid user of Opera up until the 're-launch'. Currently using a customized version of Pale Moon, mainly to avoid the Australis update that's about to hit Firefox! I have just about all my favourite features from O12 (via extensions) so life is fine.
-
Opera 18 and Chrome. I never thought I would become a Chrome user but increasingly I find myself using it since it works so beautifully with everything else. I don't want to give up on Opera, however, so I continue to use it about half the time.
-
Opera Classic for Android (Last Version) because it was the best mobile browser available. But then they killed it. :rip:
/edit/ I'll most likely migrate to Chrome since Opera has messed up their Android Mobile browser so badly.
-
Opera 11.64, didn't like version 12 and while there were frequent updates to 12.16, there are now several Opera next versions, but no updates since 12.16. I like the features of Opera 11, mail, widgets, link, unite, turbo when they were active. I call 11 the last working version.
-
Opera 12.16 on Lubuntu. Opera Mini on Android.
I have been using the Opera browser since 1997. I can't get used to Chromium. I like Firefox, but starting up this browser requires more time.
-
I prefer a versatile tool I can customize according to my browsing habits, over a dumbed down content viewer.
Opera Presto wasn't perfect but came closest to my expectations and still is.
Since I'm aware that Opera Presto's days are numbered I'll have to take a closer look at Firefox. -
I was big into Opera (from version 3, and 5 as a default browser) until they change in direction. :dry: Now I use SeaMonkey because I like to have everything in one application like Opera used to be. Plus SeaMonkey is still been updated unlike Opera 12.
