The browser ballot from BBC Click

March 8, 2010 · by Espen André Øverdahl

A few weeks ago we asked you to send BBC Click a video and let them know about your browser of choice. We're not sure how many of you sent in a video about Opera, but we're very happy with the one they picked, so thanks to whoever made it!

A funny part in the 5 minute segment comes from a girl who says she uses Safari to browse the Internet, because she forgets to download Opera.

Anyway, have a look at clip and let us know what you think as a comment.

Actually, there were couple of funny ones there. That naked IE guy in bed? What the heck? That's a total turnoff for IE.

IE User: "I use IE cause it's the best"

FireFox User: "I use FF cause it's the most customizable"

Chrome User: "I use Chrome cause it's the faster"

Opera User: "I use Opera cause it have this characteristics: Opera Turbo, Opera Link, Opera Unite, Multi-Platform, Standalone Widgets, Tabs Thumbnails, Several Skins, Full and simply customization, Panels, Dragonfly, 100/100 Acid Test, Integrared Download Manager," .... 10 minutes later (expresing Opera's features).. "And IT IS THE FASTER!!!"

GO OPERA!!
