I'm curious, never tried Opera. What's it like to work with?

I have used Opera for many years and although I have tried Firefox, IE etc I still go back to Opera as my default browser. I particularly like the speedial facility and the form filling and password functions are easy to use. Thoroughly recommend it.

I'm still finding my way round it,but have to agree,re the password bit,it says,after filling a password in on say,this forum,do you want to remember this p/word etc,then when i click yes,the next time i log on,i still have to fill the full details again! What am i doing wrong

I like it on my phone, but still prefer Chrome on the PC - and I've tried them all! Even Maxthon...lol.

Sorry it's taken so long to reply, just press ctrl + enter when in the password field and that puts it in. When saving passwords make sure you check the "Save for this page only" box

Chrome is my choice too - gave up on IE years ago in favour of Firefox, but every time the latter had an update , it used more and more processing power and hogged more memory.
I'me very old fashioned, and probably paranoid too (after picking up a 'bug' a couple of years ago which tried to inveigle my passwords out of me) - but now I never ask the PC to remember ANY of my passwords. It's a bit of a pain remembering them - but it helps keep my brain active

Can't stand Chrome because there isn't a separate search box
