I have to add one point. Proxomitron. Free program. Essential
software that prevents pop-ups. Bypass button for connecting to banks.

Opera has a menu to look like IE for pages that require IE.

Mr. Blake, I respectly disagree. Yes, you are right if you are
writing a review. Then one needs to investigate all the browsers.
However, for the average person this is a waste of time. Just
download Opera, spend some time getting the settings to your liking.
This takes time. You will find that Opera and Proxomitron will meet
your needs. If you find you have a need, or find that Opera does not
work well enough, just send a message to news.opera.com.

My advice is for the person who just wants to use the Internet is to
ignore Blake's advice, download Opera, get familiar with it, and
enjoy.

Anyway, what does Firefox have that Opera does not have? Why give
advice that will waste people's time?


I have two points. I use Maxthon, and I like it better than *either* Firefox
or Opera. I used to use the Proxomitrion, but stopped, because I found that
other popup blockers worked more easily.

The essential point is that what *you* consider best is not what we all
consider best. I don't tell you that what I use (for web browsing or
anything else) is necessarily the best for you; please don't tell me (or
anyone else) that your choice is necessarily the best for everyone. You have
a right to your opinion, but you don't have a right to insist that everyone
share your opinion.
