Opera Browser vS. BB Browser

earthshaker78 · #1 12-01-2008 -

Hi,

I recently installed opera browser on my Sprint Curve and don't see how it could be more of use than BB original browser...

Am I missing something? Why do some ppl use Opera (just for looks)?

Thanks

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~
The recent os upgrades to 4.5 and beyond incorporated enhancements to the.BB browser which affected features and performance formerly attained only by using Opera.
Opera is still able to enable function on web pages that in some instances can't be attained by using the Blackberry browser.

I have the same question. I actually perfer the BB browser over Opera Mini. Whats the big deal with the Opera browers?

I have never liked it myself so this could be interesting to follow.

"Why do some ppl use Opera (just for looks)?" I use Opera mini only to edit a post I messed up on or if I need to make alterations to certain profiles I can't on the regular bb browser. However, once i'm done using it I delete every cookie possible; clear history because it is a huge memory hog. So, if you're into your themes and have about 10 of those on your bb and a lot of applications don't be mad when your messages and phone call log get deleted.

Other than that, it's a nice browser though I only use it for those reasons stated above nothing else. Once i'm done editing whatever I need to do I go back to my regular bb browser.

At this point and time, mini opera is a better option for me when surfing on my berry...mini opera renders the web more like a desktop web browser.

Long time mini opera user and have never had any trouble whatsoever with it being a resource hog...that title belongs to viigo.

Also with the BB browser, you can set the more user freindly start page with igoogle. Igoogle has more options for a start screen set up also.

Interesting indeed... Question... When you say "profile" alteration are you speakin bout, oh let's say for example myspace? I myself haven't recently gotten involved wit my page, mind you I have the BB app also but I rather enjoy viewing it via the desktop version... Would you say viewing it through opera is better???
