I switched from Firefox to Opera on Linux. Opera is faster (especially cold start), has great support for high resolution screens, support for touch input, access to Chrome extensions and built in flash. The best browser for Linux IMHO.
- Mithaldu 11y agoYou can get all of that as well by just using Chrome. Opera 15+ is just a fork with a bunch of custom changes.
- jacek 11y agoI know. I just don't like Chrome's UI and it's heavy integration with Google. I am trying to rely less on Google. I have switched to a different email provider, DDG is my default search engine and I use Owncloud for contacts, calendar and files.
- Mithaldu 11y agoGood reasons. Just be sure to keep an eye on things due to the upcoming purchase by Qihoo.
