Yes it is preference. But there are plenty of Firefox users that bash Opera as well as IE. So why is it so bad that my opinion of firefox is not that high? Why is it fair for them to do it but not for anyone to say anything bad against Firefox?
Yes firefox is open source. Opera isnt. But that is where security comes in. Anyone can get the source code for firefox and start to rip it apart and find flaws. They cant do that with Opera can they? At the same time you have that many more people looking at the code to find these flaws and get them patched. So it is a good and bad thing all at once. But Opera is offered for free. So that is a plus. That you can have either or both on your PC.
Dont get me wrong. I have firefox installed. I just hate seeing all this bashing of 1 thing over another. You asked how it was better. I stated it. I made valid points to my arguement. Now you say that i was harsh. But yet if i didnt make the comparison like that you would just say that i was a avid Opera fan and never liked firefox. So i had to do that to show my point.
Also being Open Source does not make a application better.
