Moving to OPERA 10.5! Thursday, 25th March 2010

Now I am ditching chrome, firefox, safari, to switch to opera!

It’s just simply fast, and it passes the acid 3 test, with 100/100.

The only thing I hate would be the strict rendering of the pages – if css is broken, it will break the page. But alas, it’s the dev’s problem.

Speedwise, it’s the best. Also native css3 support (anything that is standardized) is just awesome, check some special effects on chrome/opera/firefox, and you’ll see the difference.

All hail opera :D
