Maybe thats because I use the user agent emulator in opera:config, but then I'd have to place the blame on the site developer. Also, remember the Opera-MSN fiasco? While most of these sites probably DO support Opera, they block it via the user agent. <BR/><BR/>Ok, you got me with Meebo. But that was until I set Opera's user agent to emulate Firefox. Again, thats probably laziness on the developers part. (Example: Would you hotwire program not to work on Windows 2000 even if it did?) I must admit though, I do like the fact that there is a <B>modern</B> OS/2 port of Firefox, while Opera only has version 5.12 for OS/2.<BR/><BR/>Plus, while I highly doubt the average end user will care about this (unless your a geek, of course), Opera seems to be more standards compliant. Firefox 3.01 gets a 71 on the acid3 test while Opera 9.52 gets an 83. Plus, a public developer test build of Opera actually got a 100 on it, but it didn't fully pass the test due to performance issues.<BR/><BR/>And continuing the comparision of Firefox (3.x) vs Opera (9.5x) the security features while act the same internally, the Firefox 3 malware warning seems more polished. I do like the review though. Kudos for not perferring one over the other due to "licensing restrictions", but I don't like the fact that you personalized it with "I can't edit full-day events in Opera! Winner: Firefox, and, ultimately, Google Calendar is important enough to me that Firefox might just win overall because Google app's don't run adequately in Opera. ...", but then again its a personal review on your blog.Johnnoreply@blogger.com
