Is it on any specific websites? Which version are you using? (the beta not being a good idea, since it's still more than rough around the edges).



The only real issue I've had with Opera is using it to change settings on my router, since the router isn't too happy about the way it loads pages and I find I have to wait a bit after the page has loaded to do anything or it won't change settings (the wait, presumably, is the extra time it would have taken other browsers to load the page ). It's also less than forgiving on poorly written pages.

Not using Opera might help.

Opera here.


Hang on, I'm posting that from Firefox . Well, Firefox is better integrated into Linux, so when I'm not running Windows I use it instead (unlike IE, FF isn't awful enough to warrant the effort of fiddling around to get Opera running!). The betas for Opera 9 look great though (although I'm not entirely convinced of widgets...). If they went open source it'd be much easier to use on Linux, but it's still far and away the best browser.

At least there is one other sensible enough to use Opera, besides me.

I think we can all agree on which is the worst.

Firefox because it's safer, faster, and more convenient.  Sometimes its a pain in the ass for media and these forums, but it's worth it because I can't stand IE.

Mozilla is great, but has one disadvantage: when visiting sites which play media on it, you always have to download the plug-in first, which is a bit annoying.
my personal preference is Netscape, and be it only for the inbuilt AIM-feature

Which internet browser is in your opinion the best? Personally I use Opera and like it very much. I haven't had any problems with it so far.
