Opera Software "With Opera recently releasing their web browser completely free of Ads, it is a good time to let the truth be told. Not only is Opera faster then Firefox in all performance areas, it is much more secure and more compliant."

Opera is /defaintely/ faster. My 800 mhz 256mb ram laptop crawls under firefox. Tabs take AGES to open, forms react very slowly. Opera takes ~1 minute to open the 70 or so windows I have and then remains insanely responsive. Every now and then it'll take the GUI time to catch up, but even then I can queuing up keyboard commands and mouse clicks like crazy and within 4 seconds the queue will clear out. Firefox just blocks, stops responding, doesnt queue anything, freezes.

Opera is the only way I can web browse, literally.
