What browser do you use and why?
-
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.
-
I am still using Opera 11.64, because that's the latest version to work properly on the sites than I use.
- WAV Files still play Test Page
- The skin.ini format still respects Minimum Tab Width, so more tabs fit on the tab bar
- PageDown/PageUp still scrolls the text by a full screen so that I don't lose my place when reading long articles

I'm currently leaning mainly on Firefox (26) with a few extensions, with occasional revisits to my Opera 12.14. Opera had unsurpassed configurability and capabilities for how I browse, but that's no longer the case since the Blink engine arrived. I'm still looking at browsers, however, since nothing 'new' quite satisfies my needs. It seems to me that there's a solid market out there for highly configurable, standards-compliant, secure browsers - but perhaps not large enough for a "free" browser to be economically feasible any more. :unsure:
-
Opera for many, many years. I loved that browser. But since it went to the wayside, I switched to Firefox.
-
Presto of course. What else? (I guess I don´t have to explain why?)
At the moment I still see no reason to change? As long as the web cooperates I will stick with it.
Maybe Facebook & Co. with their endless-sides are working better with other candidates - but I don´t need or use them. So that is not important for me.
Blink (all versions) I use just to stay up to date and can give support to other users. Not really for daily work, because no one can beat my beloved Opera-Presto-All-rounder.
-
Opera 12.15. I will have to change at some point as the web becomes unusable, but for now it still works and I can't find a browser I prefer.
The change to Opium left me utterly dismayed. It is any company's right to choose what products to sell, but it is clear that the demographic Opera now wish to serve doesn't include me.
So, still using Presto

Zajrzałem tu bo jest pani pierwszą osobą którą znam z My Opera. Trudno mi się tu poruszać bo nie znam języka.
W sprawie przeglądarek jestem zupełnym laikiem ,co mi ustawili to używam .
Przeprasza jeżeli zakłóciłem spokój w rzeczowej dyskusji. -
jest pani pierwszą osobą którą znam z My Opera.
Jest tu już parę osób z My Opera ;).

I used Opera,soley, since around 2000 2001. Rarely used anything else.
They abandoned linux early this year. Well… there may have been a minor update in the spring. 12.16 anyways. I still have it and use it occasionally but am moving to other browsers.I use Firefox mostly. Great security/privacy with the right extensions. Setup for specific pages.
I have Chromium but find it awkward. Will try it on a website that gives Firefox trouble.
Qupzilla is awesome for surfing. Very fast. I have it setup for a specific set of pages.
Midori and Slimboat are also installed. Find them guite streamlined as well with distinct features.
Each browser has its strong points.
-
Opera 12 and now also FF which resembles classic Opera more than Chromium-based Opera 15+
-
With my recent move to Linux I am still with Opera 12.16.
It is still also on my last Windows box. I occasionally have a look at Opera' Development branch, but have yet found no reason to switch.
Chrome is a featureless memory hog.
FireFox (SeaMonkey) is just soooo clunky (compared to Opera).
Midori works OK but I need more than it currently offers.I have done a lot browser hopping over the last few months and have not found Any Blepping Thing that can match Opera 12's functionality. Others are probably correct 11.64 was the pinnacle of Opera's development.
-
yo tambien odio Chrome, no me gusta, yo en mi uso Opera 18 y Firefox. que asco cada vez va la cosa peor.
-
I use Opera Developer + Opera Mail. My most favorite browser ever was Opera (Presto), especially versions 7-10. But I decided, if I will have to move to another browser anyway, I would rather do it quickly. So I'm on Opera-Chrome now.
-
I used to use Opera 12.16 up to about a month or so ago. When I had to replace my old machine with a new one, I knew that my days with the Opera browser were done. The new versions of Opera are not worth the bother. So, right now Firefox does the heavy lifting on my new machine. Internet Exploder does the stuff Microsoft can't seem to do otherwise and that's about it.
Presently learning to live with the idiosyncrasies of Windows 8.1 and its touchy habits, at least Firefox offers familiar habits of its own.
-
I tend to use Chromium more often than Firefox on my Ubuntu setup.
Chromium for speed, Firefox for everything else.
-
I just use a jellybean phone, with Opera classic primarily.
The update for G.Chrome is 74Mb, Lol. I currently hesitate to have an app over 700Kb, so there's not much hope for Mountain View there. Getting silly amounts of cache aswell - it'd be quicker and easier for phones to barely cache anything like in the old days.
