But surely atleast one should be easier to use than the other .....I urge you guys to check the IE vs FF you tube video survey

I use FF3.

There are many reasons to it.

• Plenty of Add-ons
• Availablity in Linux

However I'm impressed with Opera too, mainly due to its unique hard-to-beat features.

At the same time, looking forward to Chrome's stable/future-rich release.

10 reasons why you should use Fire Fox



1# Speed

You can setup FireFox to be even faster than opera by following a Firefox speed up tutorial: Speed up Firefox

2# Speed Dial

Use this addon to get speed dial feature: Speed Dial

3# Widgets

You can install Google toolbar to get most of the widgets in
Opera: Google Tool Bar

4# Wand

For the Magic Wand feature use this addon: Secure Login

5# Notes

To store Notes use this addon: Net Notes

6# BitTorrent

BitTorrent feature of Opera is useless and have lot of bugs. But you can get the same feature using : Fox Torrent

7# Display modes

For changing display modes use: Default Zoom Level

8# Quick Preference

You can also get Quick preference menu using: Quick Preference Button

9# Mouse Gestures

For getting mouse gesture feature use: Mouse Gesture Redox

10# Session saving

Session saving feature is also available in FF using: Session Manager

You have to download lot of addons to get each of Opera's built in features. But the addons are much better than the built ins. Besides Opera don't support many websites.

Hi Vishnu,

Thank you for your time searching equivalents.

I've been using FF3 happily without any of the add-ons mentioned except an add-on for mouse gestures (I use FireGestures) for it. I use other add-ons for other purposes, though.

Still I use Opera occasionally mainly for an add-on (Ravi Shankar's Quotes) which is not available for FF. I do use Opera to test my own web development work.

Thanks and regards,
Pothi.

My pleasure !. I don't use most of them either. I was an Opera fan before. But couldn't get some websites to work. Java or some other scripts is not fully supported. It's the same with multimedia. Opera is an AIO browser with lot of features. But if you evaluate each of it features you will find it's not good enough (eg: browsing, bittorrent, emailclient etc). It's not good for a particular use.
