    Not a big shock

    Wonder when 360 will get one.

    Internet browsing on the Wii should be good (for a console) - use controller like a mouse etc.

    I WANNA WII :)

    Normal answer:

    Both have their strengths and weaknesses.

    Fanboy answer:

    Opera pisses all over Firefox. :p

    Thanks. I've always used Firefox. I love the speed, but it crashes sometimes. I've been thinking about getting Opera, but I don't want to sacrifice the soppesdly superior speed of firefox. Is this fear warrented?

    If you want more stability, Opera isn't the best choice.

    It's faster (in some respects) than Firefox, but less stable.

    Opera has various tools to use, it has a fit to screen width option and a very excellent zoom feature.

    Out in Japan in "Summer". Rest of the world not decided.

    I prefer Opera to Firefox - tis quicker and doesn't break my router (no idea why firefox does).

    As a matter of fact, the market inquiry on the xbx webby has some questions about what users want for browsing capabilities.

    Now all they need is built in ITMS, and they will beat Sony at Sony's game.

    Music and video's on demand ftw.

    Opera is a really good browser IMO. If it worked like Firefox, I would be using it. By that I mean in firefox I have similar bookmarks in folders. Just middle click on folder to open all bookmarks. Or click on single item to just open that.

    You can use the Open All Folder Items option in Opera.

    I use Opera and it's pretty good. Have problems with ads sometimes (on IGN they repeat themselves and I sometimes can't get into the site), and it sometimes crashes.

    But, er, apart from that it's fine. :/

    Its just not the same. I know its really really minor. But that one thing keeps me with firefox, even though I seem to find Opera (well the preview build for opera 9) to be the superior/faster browser.

    Iīm surprised by the amount of people who used the browser on the Dreamcast. It canīt hurt to have it in there at least.

    I've found Opera is quite stable. The only problem I have with it is that it is a bit of a memory hog, but then again I frequently have 10 to 20 tabs open at once and only have 512MB ram.

    How many tabs have you got open? I have 16 tabs running in Opera and it is using 140MB of ram.
