This article is written for Geddoe who ask for Opera infos and those who wants to know more about Opera browser. Many people arguing about the best browser and many people standing on their own choice [ like me choosing Mozilla - and lolifox - is the best and powerful browser ] However – the world is not colorful without difference – there are some people who look down on Firefox and choosing Opera [ like Geddoe and Master Li ] “well it’s their choice” OK let’s go to the comparatives and of course this is just my comparatives – not an official comparatives done by some kind of organization
