As it works, if anyone else wants this link, pm me and I'll get it to them.

I'm of to bed now so I'll get it done tommorow.

--- Quote from: worker201 ---I just downloaded Opera for Fedora, and I have a few observations.

1. Yes it is smaller.  But in order to view source, you have to set up an external editor.  So it doesn't have a source viewer in it.  So that was weird.

It's simle really.  Every OS already has between 1 and ten thousand text editors.  Why make another one.  Of course with Linux, there are three thousand text editors, and everybody has their favorite, so why not let them use it.  Linux is ALL about modularity, right?

--- Quote from: worker201 ---2. Found a bug already.  If you go to http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/ with both Opera and Firefox, you will see the problem.  They have a JavaScript designed to deal with Mac IE.  Firefox responds correctly by ignoring it.  Opera just prints the script at the top of the page, above the content.  Also, it doesn't run the menu function properly - the menu mouseovers are not cleared when the mouse moves on, making the whole page unreadable.

Opera IS fully standards compliant.  It's merely the sites use of non-standard code.  Try validating the page.

--- Quote from: worker201 ---3. The transfers tab is kinda nice.  So are all the extra preferences.
--- End quote ---
Yes, yes they are.

--- Quote from: worker201 ---4. It isn't open source, and it costs money.
--- End quote ---
Coders gotta eat.  And what difference does being open source make it?

--- Quote from: worker201 ---5. It uses Qt, which I don't like.
--- End quote ---
Would you prefer the ass-ugly GTK?

--- Quote from: worker201 ---6. The web developer toolbar extension, which I have grown to love and depend on, is not there.
--- End quote ---
Boo Hoo! Opera isn't firefox!

--- Quote from: worker201 ---7. How convenient that it just borrows all the plugins (Java, Flash) from Firefox/Mozilla, instead of having its own!  That's sorta cheating, really.
--- End quote ---
If it's already there, why not use it?  Do you need multiple copies of the same binary?  Sounds like opera being smart to me!

worker201:
Well, that was a fairly thorough rebuttal to my objections.  However, I couldn't help but notice that most of our differences are based on personal taste.  And nobody should be getting in the way of that.  I like gtk, you like Qt, and everything is okay.  I like my extensions, you don't, that's great.  I think open source software is worth sacrificing a few questionable features, you don't, and that's fine too.

How about this?  I'll make a big donation in time and money to the Mozilla project, and get them to dig on this transfers tab thing, so I get the same features and the source is still open.  At that point, Opera's benefits will have drifted away, in my opinion.

MarathoN:
They'll probably just make more benefits.
