I'm in. I've been using Opera since March and I'll never go back to IE. I've never truly used Firefox, either but with Opera I don't think that matters!

I can see why people like it, but i think the main turn off for me was the lack of a recognizable bookmarks toolbar like firefox has and the fact that the tabs toolbar was up at the very top

why didnt it work?

let us help u get it working so u can uninstall firefox

the thing about ur turn off is to the way u want it

let us know when u install Opera we would be glad to help

most welcome for a Club Opera VIP

I was hoping there was a club for Opera users!
I love Opera and use it exclusively except for the few sites it has issues with in which case I just use Internet Explorer. I can't stand Firefox personally, but OPERA IS THE BEST.

I'm using Opera 9.5 now and LOVING it.
