I have only liked Opera on my old Blackberry Phones. Now on PC I use mainly Firefox and occasionally Chrome, on my Mac I even use mainly Firefox and sometimes Safari or Chrome. As far as IE goes... NEVER.

I tried Safari but it didn't allow me to use the features on the T-mobile website so I got rid of it.

issues with adjusting the size of the page for every website I went to
Sounds like a POS to me, I've never had to adjust screen sizes...

The super speed of the browser makes up for that minor issue

I don't get the issue of adjusting the screen for each page. The other browsers have the same issue. At least in Opera I can do the adjusting with a single key. I'm assuming we're talking about zooming in and out. Opera was the first browser to do it well. The others took forever to catch up.

NEVER for IE? I was a big fan of IE from the late 90s to the early 2000s. What did you use during those years if you never used IE?

I think it's all a matter of intent for use and personal perspective.

I never have a problem related to the browser itself painting a screen. I guess super speed (whatever that is) is in the users eye....

Hopefully one day in the future you will present FACTS rather than your personal observations on the differences to make an adult case on why Opera is so vastly superior to all the other browsers...

Q: Well just how fast is Opera?

A: Wow man, it's super speedier than all the other ones.

Q: Can you explain why no-one else other than yourself experiences constant browser freezes?

A: Because Opera is better...
