DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: Opera

Can we use an Opera browser in place of the Firefox browser?

lol replacing firefox with opera on linux distribution

interesting idea but...no way. Firefox is more popular and open source. I don't know if the opera license would even allow it seeing as versions of DSL are sold on pen drives etc.

There are three different versions of Opera extensions available through the DSL extention panel.

For older computers, the Opera versions that can be installed from the myDSL repository (Network and UCI sections, I think) are noticably faster than Firefox.

Just so you know.....

I recently did a comparison of FF and newer Opera on a p166 with 32mb ram.

Opera at first opening was 95 seconds....ouch!
Firefox was 75 seconds.....not much better

BUT

on second opening....

Opera was 35 seconds
Firefox was still 75 seconds.

Good info to know
