Opera

A browser superior to Internet Explorer and its creators, who favor proprietary "HTML" over the W3C's standards.

Opera is better than Internet Explorer. Actually, snail mail is, too.

Opera

Fastest browser and lightest one I know of between IE7 and Firefox. People seem to underrate this browser, it's less than 8MB yet manages to hold a bittorent downloader, email client, magic wand features, and endless customization to the interface along with thousands of widgets and themes (skins) you can choose from on their site. Most stuff Firefox has or just added, has been intergrated with Opera for years.

Opera > Firefox > IE7

Opera

Though it only owns about 20% of the global browser market share, it's quite possibly the best browser available. Unlike Internet Explorer, it's secure. Unlike Firefox, it's fast. Unlike Safari, it actually works. It meets W3C Web Standards, and got a higher score than any other browser on the Acid 3 test.

Opera is the browser of choice, by Jesus Christ himself.

opera it

To add dramatic impact to a sentence by singing it like an opera.

Trying to get attention at a bar, Theresa: "Can I have 3 vodka's please". No response. Dawn: "Opera it". Theresa: "Can I have 3 vodka's please" sung at the top of her voice in an opera style = instant attention & service.
