Strong Enough to Sing the Big Boys Off the Stage?

April 26, 2011 · by Espen André Øverdahl

PCWorld likes Opera and we like PCWorld.

We say: Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, but:

"Coke or Pepsi? Kirk or Picard? Betty or Veronica? The great battles of the marketplace tend to be duels, and few people gripe if you leave out RC, Sisko, or Cheryl Blossom. The "Browser Wars" are no different, with "IE vs. Firefox" having replaced "Netscape vs. IE" long ago, and other options are often forgotten. Opera has been one of the strongest alternate browsers for a long time, and it was my browser of choice prior to Firefox."

This is how the latest PCWorld article about Opera kicks off. It's definetely an interesting read, and we can highly recommend it!

1) Royal Crown Cola
2) Janeway

Certainly a pretty good and short writeup.
