Reason #1: It’s fast

My main problem with other browsers like IE and Netscape is that they are terribly slow. Slow to startup, and slow to render pages. Netscape is especially slow at startup, taking over 15 seconds sometimes even on my Pentium 4 2.4ghz machine at work. IE is a little faster, but I still dread having to wait for it to open up when I test web sites with it.

Opera on the other hand takes only a few seconds to open, and that includes the time it takes to tell it whether to start with the homepage, where you were browsing the last time you used Opera, or to open one of your saved sessions (a session is a list of sites that can be opened simultaneously in different tabs).

Once the browser is open it is immediately apparent that pages render extremely fast, especially when viewing a large table of tabular data like a spec sheet or financial data.

That’s right! Opera is the bast browser, and it’s norwegian… hehe…
