My gripe with Opera is that it's less supported by sites than Firefox...

It's been a while since I've come across a site that caused problems with Opera. There have been sites where I thought I was having a problem but it turned out to be shoddy coding and so didn't work in any of the browsers I have installed.

I will give Firefox credit for one thing Opera doesn't have--and probably never will have--and that's the plugin to disable flash. A bit of a pain when you come across a site that uses flash for menus etc. but handy for disabling those flash ads appearing every where.

Oh and another thing I like about Opera is its zoom function. It zooms the entire page, both text and images.

Off the top of my head the ones that bothered me recently were the Yahoo coupon for free ice cream (displays in Opera, doesn't print), and Gmail in general. Launch.com doesn't work either, IIRC.

Some Flash plugin detector scripts don't recognise I have it installed -- more often than not I just end up skipping those sites.

I wish Gmail supported Opera. That is my big frustration.

Of course, Opera is perfect for me because of it's ability to save sessions. If I have to restart my computer, it's nice to know that Opera will go right back to what I was looking at, usually at the same spot in the webpage. That, if nothing else, will tie me to opera for a long time.

I think there's a Firefox extension that allows you to do that as well. Someone on LJ was mentioning it the other day, but I haven't checked it out.

I just want to say, for the record, I suspect the guy in Best Buy was more enthusiastic than informed. The wireless adapter he sold me is not on the TiVo list.

But I will try anyway.

Sadly, the first guy I asked, the one who acted like he was in charge, handed me some sort of wireless modem, and then insisted my TiVo needed a phone line to work.

Thanks for trying, though.

I know Mozilla has the ability to save the last location without the need for an extension or plugin.

After a few short weeks, DH and I have cancelled our Vonage account. There were just too many glitches -- the inability to act like a touch-tone phone for several different automated menus was very frustrating, the conflicting customer service information about when, exactly, our phone number was scheduled to transfer was infuriating, and there were just too many complaints from DH's co-workers and interviewees about static and clicks on the line. (For personal calls, it probably would have been ok, but for a home office where phone interviews have to be recorded, quality really matters.)

I know ND has had a much better experience with them than I did, so perhaps it's a regional thing (or possibly the fault of my internet provider), but sadly, the regular old phone line just turned out to work better. (I'll miss you, voicemail emails!)

Yeah, my line gets fairly low usage, so I've not really noticed any problems. Voicemail emails do rock.

I considered it, but multiple extensions look like a pain. Also 911 calls the 911 business office and does not give your location. I understand why there is not real choice on that; but being able to call 911 in an emergy and they immediately know where you are calling from strikes me as a real safety plus. (And having anyone with caller id also know where i'm calling from does not strike me as enough of a safety minus to balance it.)

Does that mean that if you have ID blocking 911 can't crack it?
