Security, browser, cleaners and optimizers, archiving, office and designing apps are essential to me.

lol ... blame Opera, not me 😃 I am disgusted as well but based on this article I have decided to give them more time before I go for the final decision about Opera ... I will stay with 12.15 for the time being

Yeah, for instance Foxit PDF Reader seems slimmer than AR but from a pdf reader I demand the in-built office PDF previewer which works flawlessly in AR, cannot say the same about Foxit.

I think Opera will be ok once they start putting in the features the browser is known for. Right know 15 is a work in progress. I'm trying it out in what they call opera next, and it seems pretty decent. Time will tell. I like a fast browser. Marc

I now use built-in pdf reader in Firefox. Removed Opera.

Its just a shame that Firefox is getting progressively worse with each new build 😞 Its currently using over 1gb of memory on this PC. Shocking memory usage for a browser, Chrome isnt much better. In fact I dislike all browsers 🙂

@ Rakanisheu, Have you heard of Pale moon? It's a spin off of firefox and maybe a little more secure. Here's the web site, you can check into it for your self if ya want. Marc

I too. When Opera released their Next 15 I was decided to ditch it off my PC but a problem arose, which browser then. I hate Firefox from the very beginning, Chrome is updating often like an AV its definitions and becoming bloatware with each release, IE not from the principle and other I call them "alternative browsers" didn't impress me too, so ... I will stick with Opera 12.15 for the time being and will closely watch how new Opera develops, then decide.

There are spin off's of the big browsers, and some of them aren't too bad. You got Slim Browser which is like IE, Pale Moon or Ice Dragon which are firefox Comodo Dragon which is Google CoolNovo which uses chrome and IE for page rendering. That's just to name a few. All these browsers claim to be a little more secure then the originals, and some might be. Worth reading about them to see if there might be something else you might want to try. Marc
