Title: N/P: Anyone use Opera?
Post by: Nem on May 09, 2006, 08:58:25 AM
I have just started using Opera web broswer. It is a lot safer than Internet Explorer and and a lot, lot faster than FireFox. Does anyone know how to import my bookmarks/favourites from FireFox and IE to Opera?

Does it not come with a wizard to help you?

Pro's: Its much better than anything else out there. It leaves all your favourites sites open in tabs, even if you close them or turn the computer off.

con's: None yet.

I think you can set FF up to behave like you describe Nem (ie keep the contents of tabs).

Opera used to cost money or have an ad banner in but they changed that recently after doing a deal with google (similar to FF). This is why it never caught on as well as FF - no one would pay to switch from IE, but lots of people woukd try FF for free and stick with it. They've changed that now so there is no really big downside to using it.

Threads like this should come with a "technological idiots warning" stamped on the front so that monkeys like me wouldnt open it.
