Without a doubt OPera. IE appears slow even on a 512kb/s connection whereas OPera seems to be very fast even in dial up.The most significant difference lies in the rendering of both the Browsers.The only advantage IE has the label "Microsoft" attached before it.But I think people both users aswellas developers have realised the potential of opera and atleast a competition has started.Lets see what microsoft comes up with.

Opera rules the net.

sajal · 27-11-2003, 05:24 PM

I think Opera is fantastic, but I will still stick with Netcaptor for my browsing pleasure

svenkat83 · 27-11-2003, 11:30 PM

Agree with everyone.
Opera is "the" best according to me.
But still many sites are IE optimised.I don't know why?
There should be some standards in Web that doesn't bias towards any browsers.

Wizard · 28-11-2003, 12:33 AM

Hai ....The MyIE 2 is a different browser ,,,,It is not that Internet Explorer,,,I know very well IE sucks....but this browser is pretty decent....

Jus give a try,,,,

i have switched overfrom IE to land at myie2
and i liked it very much

it supports all pligins and is quite fast
loading and replying 6 posts took 45 mins in IE
here it takes just 15 mins

sajal · 28-11-2003, 05:53 PM

MyIE, Netcaptor, AvantGo etc are all based on IE only, they use the same engine and can't never be fast in terms of speed; yes they have better usability and userfriendly interface and some more extra features, But with the total different cores are likes of Opera / Netscape / Mozilla etc

Nishant · 28-11-2003, 09:23 PM

tell ya guys... IE is sa best.. nothin better dan this

GunshotSilence · 29-11-2003, 12:33 AM

well netcaptor is basd on IE completely and even requires IE to be installed.
but myIE2 is totally diff. or separate.

and hence faster

i havent used opera

Where did you get that idea?

MyIE is totally based on IE core and if anyhow you can uninstall IE [Which requires quite an expertise

], you won't be able to run MyIE2.

I am using Avant Browser from http://www.avantbrowser.com.
It's free tool which uses IE's engine but makes it very fast & stitching between two pages is very easy in it.
I highly recommend it.

it_waaznt_me · 30-11-2003, 01:50 AM

MyIE2 Rules... you wont get Ad hunter , auto scrolling and all those goodies anywhere for free... And hey .. but beware of UCmore & Ebates...

Opera consumes a lot of memory and takes a hell lot of time to boot up .. this was the major reason why I gave it up .. Netscape -- Does it still prevails ..???

nirubhai · 02-12-2003, 02:32 AM

Well, MyIE2 would be a better option to IE. But not for Opera 8)

Where performance(or speed) is the issue there is only one browser & its Opera!

At some time of my browsing,
I have opened 40 windows(web pages) in Opera simultaniously!....
That too WITHOUT CRASHING THE SYSTEM
Can you imagine this?
(My PC is P-II 350, 128MB RAM with 7200rpm drive)
IE would crash even if I open & close it for 40 times due to its wellknown bug, it doesn't frees all the resources after closing. It will easily show the 'System is running low on resources, please close one or two windows......' message if you are browsing very fastly, visiting many pages.

Have you ever bothered to check the thread priorities, processor usage & resource consumption of these browsers?
Opera manages all this smoothly than any other browser.
You can check out it with the 'Resource Meter' & 'System Monitor' in 'System Tools' or whatever tool u like!

Finally,
Opera wins
Rules the net

Masters use Opera.

Victims use IE

billboardhunk · 04-12-2003, 11:46 PM

Opera is the best... But wish every site supports it the way it does for IE

Jatin · 05-12-2003, 03:02 PM

Where is the option of Mozilla Firebird.
I have played with all the browsers and finaly selected Firebird.

Wizard · 05-12-2003, 04:26 PM

Hello....I thought both are the same ,,,so didnt give it as a choice...

Reply

Jatin · 06-12-2003, 07:02 AM

NO
Both are not same. Then why there are two browsers on http://mozilla.org
Both have their own engines.

I dont know much about the difference. I am only a user and feel that Firebird is the best

Jatin · 11-12-2003, 05:37 PM

Avant, MyIE2 & Crazy Browser are just a pluggin for Internet Explorer.

abdulabby · 01-01-2004, 04:14 AM

Opera rocks. Browser like myie2 and slimbrowser use ie as the base. So its just the features that u r getting but u dont get the hot as hell!! speed of Opera.
Opera really rocks!!
Other browsers eat the dust of Opera

TheMask · 01-01-2004, 02:59 PM

after hearing so much about Opera, i thot i will give it a try. i looked for the file in the Jan Mindware CD. there is one, but it says Trial. so, is Opera not a freeware? just curious...

[deXter] · 01-01-2004, 04:36 PM

No doubt about it- Opera RULES!

abdulabby · 01-01-2004, 07:55 PM

Yeah and just in case opera crashes with even 40 pages ,it always present u with the option of starting from where it crashed the nxt time u start it. No other browser provides this option.
For such great features some ads is nothing. Opera is freeware but shows ads.
Hence Opera rocks!!!
