After using Opera for about a year on this site, all of a sudden it won't load anymore - have to switch to IE to get in.

Why not Firefox? Hell, anything but IE.

Well I used to use Firefox, but I switched to Opera instead. Internet Explorer remains the choice for the backup browser because a: some sites that don't load right in Opera don't load right in Firefox either and b: it has a much smaller memory footprint for a single window, which is handy when I have two different browsers running at once.

All better now. Weird.

Don't the ads on the free version of that make it, uh, less than desirable? Or did you pay for the full version?

BizidyDizidy · « **Reply #5 on:** June 12, 2006, 01:17:10 pm »

There haven't been any ads for a while now.

That's weird. I've used Opera off and on for the last month and haven't had any problems with OWA.

Opera 9 looks to be really promising. If someone ports Firefox's Adblock plugin to Opera, I'm making the switch.

I use Firefox almost exclusively, buth at work and at home. I have noticed a few quirks with OWA recently, but nothing enough to make me complain or switch.

The entrance doesn't show properly and the monthly minors tables don't show properly. If anyone uses Firefox and have seenthis and might know of some settings I could adjust, I would appreciate it, but it isn't something critical.

Just thought I would mention it in a nice browser thread.

I've had problems for a while with the entrance page as well, using IE. I can read the game story and NYCU, but the stats and things on both sides do not load. Since this roughly coincided with us ditching DSL here at home, I assumed that was why.

If you keep up with the security patches, etc, there's nothing wrong with IE. Personally, as an IT professional, and as an internet/intranet IT professional, I prefer IE to other browsers. I know it's a personal thing, but most sites are built for IE, and I prefer shit online to work without having to switch browsers depending on the site I visit.

Opera does have the "fastest" scripting engine, so it renders pages a bit quicker than IE and Firefox. I just don't have enough time to mess with another browser (I prefer Firefox for surfing, IE for 'working'). One IE-based browser I played with a bit was Maxtor - uses the IE engine, but allows tabbed browsing (I think IE 7 will offer this too) and a bit more customization of the browser.

Here's a speed comparison that someone did, if anybody's interested, or hasn't yet nodded off reading this thread.
