Well it works so what more do you want from a free browser? Well....

It's not Firefox and does not feel quite as good to use. You might find a site that doesn't display well in Opera but there is a menu option to alert the Opera team so that they can review the site and fix any bugs within the program if they need to. As a former paying user of versions 3 to 5, I feel a little annoyed that the program is now free but it has developed considerably since those early days. Don't bother with the mail and newsgroup parts of it unless you want to learn a whole new way of working, it's a very strange interface. I'd rather use Outlook Express, although I'm strictly web mail these days and Opera does display my mail providers pages extremely well.

My main use of Opera these days is to test my own web pages. If there are any problems then I go back to the source and make changes. I usually find that IE and Firefox have displayed something in a way that I intended but perhaps there was a better way of doing it and Opera had alerted me to that better way. Like all browsers it's supposed to be standard complaint but to what degree I sometime wonder. It will show up badly put together websites rather well.

However I look at IE, Firefox and Opera, Opera will always come third but for some it could be a viable option so take a look.
