opera vs firefox

[Esse]

The thing I like about firefox is it is fast and reliable and when I download something it has it's own downloading service and keeps it nice and organized. Does opera have similar things too?

 

[Pavlyk]

Yes Opera has it's own downloading servise. And it's much faster too

what do you mean by "it has its own downloading servcie"

is there a limit to the number of downloading tabs one can open in opera

i guess the more windows(tabs) you open in opera, the more mermory you consume, so the slower yoru computer should get

Opera has its own download manager. You can resume broken/unfinished downloads. It combines all downloads in one tab. I can open lots of tabs (with websites) on my 225MHz comp without getting any slower.

Ah Ok, I am trying out Opera. I like the custom stuff and a new look is refreshing. But what I don't like is the stupid ad on the top right of my screen. .

The freeware version of Opera has a built in adds banner in it. That's why I chose firefox over Opera.
