| Speed | Embed in windows,it loads with them.That means that it's in part runing in the main memory.That's why the speed is fine. |
Firefox doesn't load with windows so his execution is a bit slower.But in action FF is fast and fluid,so in the term of speed I got noting more to add. | Opera is the fastest then the all three browsers when it's the talk of site load,but not that fast for it to have a good advantage for a mark. | 1:1:1 |
Quality of previewing websites |
The worst of all three browsers.But many sites are only viewd by this browser.hm I'll be fair and say:you don't hold on to standards. Tumbs down | Firefox is the browser who sticks to standards and in that point of view FF rulz.Being good in FF can show all the bad coding or deregaularity's that are on a web site. | Opera uses it's own system for viewing a page witch is very good,but specialy its good in zoomin a page.A bit "unstandardy" as Firefox. | 1:2:2 |
| Tabs | Doesn't have tabs in 6!but in v7 they did it.Nothing to say much about is. | Can open in other windows and tabs,-as wished.All is accessibly by keyshortcut's so you have full freedom. | Here you could also use tabs and separate windows.Combining 2 ways is a little "messy" then in Firefox,but it makes surfing easy and pleasent. | 2:3:3 |
| Popup killer | It has one , but it works like you don't have one.it does it function but only it comes on the Service pack 2 in winxp. | We can control popups,and even there's a option that makes a site not list in the popup bloker . | It's not that powerful, but it does the job done and right. Happy to have one on Opera. | 3:4:4 |
| accessbility | It's not that alive but it's possible.More are used the alternative ui with their sys.Choise of alternative ones are very nice. | Absolute champion.For fireofx you can download a whole lot of extensions and plugins, can't imagen Firefox without it. | Opera wasn't talking much when realeeasing the 7 and 8 versions it's fine but they could do a better job. | 4:5:4 |
| Security | Internet explorer is the one browser that has the most many "holes" and that's going for years now.Patches aren't released fast. | Firefox had an security issue awhile bac but the programmers reacted and fixed the thing.This is a very secure browser. | Opera is also a secure browser, safety there's not many security bumps whitch will compromise your surfing. | 4:6:5 |
Printing, paragrafs etc,"squizzing"pages. Absolutly catastrofic. |
Firefox does printing well. You can zoom on a site turn off/on margins. | Opera also has a printing option but it's not that well made like in Firefox . | 4:7:6 | |
| Adjusting User interface | In IE without tweeking programs there's no possiblity to change the the UI. you can only change the task bars. | Thanks to a very big number of extensions and addons firefox can adjust to it's limits,that's one of it's best quality's and advanced users know that. | In Opera you could change many stuff ,begining to design to the elements positioning. | 4:8:7 |
| Help with Downloading | For every file you download there's going to be a special window.If the transfer is broke we are sorry , install a download manager. | Downloading files in Firefox is advanced then the one in IE but it could be better.Luckily the download can beresumed after a transfer broke. | This also isnt a download paradise,but atleast you can pause, disable, continue a download. | 4:8:8 |
