    "IE 7.0 and Opera 7.7 ratings? When did Cnet hire Morons?"

    by internetworld7 on May 21, 2005

    Pros: Fact: Opera has a better security track record than both IE and FireFox! It also by FAR has more features!

    Cons: Show me one and I'll run down my street naked!

    Summary: You gotta be kidding me! Old and outdated IE with all of it's security issues and the fact that a significant update and feature addition hasn't been added since it was released receives a 7.0 rating! Mean while, the new Opera 8 having a better security track record than IE, Firefox and Netscape, not to mention the fact that Opera had more features and is simple faster and more user friendly than any other browser period recieves a megar 7.7 rating!!! Somebody has definitely relapsed at Cnet and needs to go back into rehab or at least give me some of that good stuff you all are smoking!

    Compare how Opera renders HSN.com vs. IE and then compare your (duplicate!) results to Firefox. Opera's redering engine, though nominally faster than Firefox, isn't as good. What? You still wearin' clothes? ;)

    "Like Firefox, Opera offers tabbed browser windows"? Give me a break. Opera has been supporting tabbed browing since years. The reviewers are incompetent to say the least.

    Someone may prefer FF or Saphari or other browser before Opera, BUT
    If someone says Opera and IE are equal, than he is either joking (bad for a serious magazine) or insane. By such rating, you degraded that article.
