Why I choose the Opera browser

BATTLE OF THE BROWSERS on tesnexus.com

Re. Opera unable to login to certain websites

In order to enable login, your website needs to have its site preferences edited. Otherwise, If you have Opera's number 1 rated security features turned on, which is the default settings that install with Opera out-of-the-box, you'll need to permit some websites to save cookies and also think you are using Internet Explorer or Firefox. (Because your webmaster, like other webmasters in interspace, doesn't want to be bothered with the smaller "market share" Opera holds.)

Websites like these are what have kept Opera an internet contender, when in fact, it is THE MOST SECURE WEB BROWSER. PERIOD. THE FASTEST. THE SMALLEST DOWNLOAD FILE. AND IT PIONEERED TABBED BROWSING. I've been using Opera as a single-window, multi-page tabbed application on my desktop since 1998. It NEVER opens a second, third, fourth, and so on. . . page, unless you ask it to. Firefox tries to copy that feature, but it doesn't REALLY work. Popups still open new window clutter. Internet Explorer 7 claims to incorporate tabbed browsing, but as usual, Bill Gates pulls another slick trick and IE7 doesn't even TRY to work.

And little OPERA, the best browser in the world gets sheep-dipped.

So here's what you do: If any website won't allow itself to work in Opera, just right-click and select "Edit Site Preferences" from the popup menu.

In the dialog that follows:

uncheck "delete new cookies when exiting Opera"
allow all popups, or open popups in the background
enable JavaScript
Mask as Internet Explorer, or Mask as Firefox

The order and wording of these items may differ according to which version of Opera you are using. Also, there are other options, but they don't seem to be relevant to this issue.

Reload the webpage that you've just right-clicked on, and amazingly, you'll find that you are able to use Opera with all of its infinite resources, immediately, on a website that pretended to be an exclusive servant to the Mozilla dragon/dinosaur.

No, I do not work for Opera. I used it when it was free, with the stipulation that an advertising banner ran inside the browser's toolbar (not on the webpages) and when I one day received some disposable income, I ordered a paid subscription, just to thank them for the privilege of allowing me to use their product free for so many years. (The following year, they released the full version without cost, so now it's free for everyone).

So please, don't get fooled by Firefox and Internet Explorer. They record every keystroke, and it is my guess, keep them stored on their servers. And one day, when the Commander-in-Chief figures out how to spell the necessary words to write a new one of his "add-a-scripts" to the constitution, those brave CEOs from Google who refused to hand over their "user search history" records to the US Party, will become acquainted with waterboarding, that controversial technique used on suspected terrorists. And they will spill their beans. And you and I and everyone who has ever "Googled" someone will become sitting ducks.
Whereas Opera keeps few records, by default, unless you bypass their security and use the above mentioned settings globally.
