Back to the Opera?

    I started using the opera when no one knew about firefox.
    After IE it certainly was a fairy tale.
    Tabs, search, frantic customization - configure as you like, but the download speed ... Otpad ...
    I became a fan of the Opera. Registered on all its Russian-language sites and forums.
    Watched all updates. Well, in general, everything is as usual.
    Sometimes some sites didn’t display properly in it ... but it was rare. (BUT IT WAS ... the precipitate remained)
    Then I ran into the problem of integrating Reget ... but I found a plug-in ... (but the precipitate remained)
    Then I found DownloaderMaster - who made friends with Opera with ease and forgot about reget and sediment.

    Several years passed ... people started talking about Fox. "Super Browser" "Great and simple" "A bunch of opportunities" and all that ...
    I didn’t even look at him. Well, what could compare with my "charm."
    Then I tried using the M2 Opera mail client. At that time I used The BAT and honestly I was not very satisfied. This is a slow archiving (I did not understand what it was for). And I got to work with IMAP.
    Crossed on M2 and was amazed at the speed. These are just ferari from mail clients. And with IMAP there are no equal at all. I really liked their filter system, it just had to be understood. In general, joy knew no bounds.
    People continued to talk about firefox. I was up to the bulb ...
    Winter came ... (joke)

    As work progressed, it became necessary to organize all contacts competently. First strike. This is an address book in M2. Horror. The scarcity simply disappointed. I was desperate.

    Put Outluk. In principle, everything is correct. But to wrest the hands of their Microsoft programmers for such an organization of settings. The speed of work with IMAP - also somehow left much to be desired.
    And I still could not get rid of some strange sensation when working with Outlook ... I don’t even know how to describe it. There is no such ease as chtoli. He wore it like a stone around his neck.

    Spring came. It's time for blogs and startups ... as well as fast and comfortable web surfing.
    New releases of the opera all pleased and pleased.

    And here. My very good friend (he, like me, is a software addict - he has such a disease, and also “sat” at the opera), tells me:
    “- Put firefox! ..
    ” “Why ?! - I tell him.
    “There is a ScrapBook there,” he replies.
    I quickly looked at the forums what kind of beast this ScrapBook is. I set myself an Obook. And he continued light surfing.
    But, the fact that my friend put Fox, I recently rested.
    And I did it. Downloaded it. And installed.
    I launched it. Opened Yandex. Pretty fast. Jumped on the tabs. Everything seems to be fat. A captivatingly simple interface. I climbed into the settings. Everything is neatly laid out. Even more beautiful than in the opera.
    I wanted to customize it.
    And so. Some scanty set of buttons. And the most important thing! I couldn’t make the tabs down. Horror. My hand immediately reached for uninstallation - the thunderstorm of all programs. But something stopped me.

    I returned to the opera and continued surfing.
    Summer has come.
    I meet a friend of the software lover.
    -- Hi. - he says. “You know that all the power of firefox is in plug-ins ...
    ” “Yes, but ...
    ” “Try it ...” he said and left.

    I went to the firefox plugin forum. And I couldn’t get away from there.
    There was everything that was missing for me.
    Indeed, all the power of firefox in its extensions. But I want to note that this is also his weakness.
    On the Mozilla website, I succumbed to advertising and installed Thunderbird.

    After Outluk, of course, breathing became easier. Pleased with working with IMAP. (but before M2, of course he could not keep up). Most of all I liked the interface. Clean and tidy.

    But we are talking about firefox.
    Over time, I began to notice that loading this browser was somehow slow.
    Some extensions clashed with each other. And recently, and generally he began to fly out. Which is generally unacceptable to me.
    Of course, there’s one reason for all this, it’s a bunch of extensions.
    I remembered about the opera. But I was breaking like an addict ... the extensions captivated me. and how easy it is to deal with them.
    I chose for myself the most useful and necessary. Others derailed.
    But the precipitate remained ... :-)
    Of course, on the machine I have the whole golden three browsers.
    But I'm surfing with Fox.

    And here I am again at a crossroads.
    Will I get back to the opera or not ...
    (By the way, ScrapBook was very bloated, a good thing.)
    What I miss in Fox is the basket of closed tabs.
    And the fact that, when restoring a session, he again starts to load all the pages again. When there are a lot of them it is very annoying.
