“Opera is one of the free opensource Internet Browsers”. You´re wrong. Opera is closed source.

Opera IS NOT an open-source application. It is a proprietary browser developed privately by Opera Software.

I have Opera installed on my machine. I used it for a while, because I screwed my Firefox. Kinda like it (Opera), ’cause, somehow, it loads faster, except that it doesn’t play videos on Youtube or Veoh well. Then, I reinstalled Firefox. Things are back to normal again. So, I switched back. Still, Opera is a better browser than IE.
