Hi TT, this has nothing to do with your post, but wanted to say thank you. I had a problem with my WP.com blog, went to the WP.com forums, found an answer you’d posted to a similar problem, tried it and now I’m happy. You know your stuff!
Hi Jacqui,
Thanks so much for letting me know that what I posted was helpful. You just made my day.
I use Opera as my main web browser, I really love it. I do run into a few compatibility issues here and there though – then I just switch to FireFox or Chrome. I use Google as my main search engine, because it’s simply the best.
I think the main reason people who use IE also use Bing is because that’s what the default for IE is. If someone is using IE as a main web browser, they’re probably either corporate users or users who aren’t extremely tech savvy. Either one of those people are going to usually stick with the defaults, thus: Bing.
Opera is a reliable browser with some great add-ons that I have used in the past and may use again in the future. Currently, I prefer using Firefox. Yes, I agree that those IE users who use Bing tend to do that simply because it’s the default for IE. Overall I find IE browsers do not hold a candle to Firefox and Opera.
I used FireFox for quite a while, then it gradually became heavier and slower. It’s definitely lightened up quite a bit, version 5 is very nice. I have grown to love the shortcuts and add-ons in Opera though, so I’ll stick with that for a while.
I can’t bear Bing, in fact I think I’ve blocked it in my browser! :)
Really? I don’t use Bing as often as I use Google but I don’t block search engines.
It just annoys me when it suddenly appears. Just an idiosyncrasy of mine, I suppose.
I too am eccentric so I understand where you are coming from. lol :D
