Re: W3Schools stats

whoa there buddy. "Everything is built in already."

Like the web developer extension I use? Like the gmail notifier I use. Like the bugmenot context menu that allows me to pull an anonymous password with a single right click and selection?? Like complete graphic FTP browser and my trusty Lorem Ipsum creator?

And these are just the extensions I use. Now, you may not find these neccessary for proper browsing, but I have grown to enjoy and use them, so no, Opera does not have everything it would ever need. But nice try.

Opera has no need for extensions cause everything is built-in to opera. The only thing not built-in is the opera adfilter, same as firefox adblock, which can be download here »www.monroeworld.com/operafilter/. And just by going to tools>appearance you can change opera's layout to look how you want it to look.

I just disliked it's layout I guess.

The biggest reason I love Firefox is due to all of the great extensions that are out there.

I would say its inability to render things correctly, even in Opera 8.0, but Opera probably thinks they are rendering things correctly, even if the site only looks like it's intended to under Firefox, Netscape 6+, Mozilla, and IE 5+.
The skins in Opera really annoy me. The banner ad is a absolute deal breaker and there is no way I'm paying for something when there are free and also better alternatives. They also set up the keyboard shortcuts in weird ways that bother me, such as the inability to shift+arrow to select text.

What did you hate about it? Especially with its speed and all of its great features.
