Sullen for no proper browser to use these days.
IE is troublesome, being carrier of or conspirator with malwares, I dare not use it.
Firefox, too slow on launching, I can’t wait.
Chrome, Flash cannot be disabled once it’s installed, shall I be forced to watch those overrunning advertisement on a page only contains some text I want? No.
Safari, forced font rendering, not fit for screen, we browse on screen, not on paper!
So I always use Opera, which can turn on/off Flash easily, even load/unload images as my will. This make me can surf through the sea of garbage and advertisements, catch those precious text exactly and fast.

I have been using Opera for so many years, but recently, I am getting in trouble with it. For more and more complicated web applications emerges, Javascript, the slowest, most inefficient language is abused everywhere. I can not turn off Javascript any more as before. And Javascript was the weak point of Opera, from 8.x to 10.5, always be. Opera’s Javascript engine is the slowest one among browsers.
Though We can condemn those shabby web composer who are using new features unsupported by browsers and writing slow code exhausting users computer, but we cannot avoid them, which are more and more there. We can only reckon on browser with fast engine and smart handling.
But Opera made me disappointed. I just planned to succumb to the slow launching of Firefox, using Firefox more and leave Opera those pages not need of Javascript. I already began to use other browsers.
Yesterday, I gave a last glance on Opera’s official site, but to me surprise, I found there’s a new version, and there’s a line of “”
That’s what I need, that’s what Opera should have done months ago, great, I got it , at last.

The new UI is quite in style.
At once, I downloaded and installed it. Wonderful, most problems resolved. I can visit Google smoothly, I can use applications, I need not wait, and there’s hardly 100% CPU usage on Javascript. Everything is good. Without hesitation, I uninstalled all previous Opera, 9,x,10.5, and removed Chrome, Safari from my computer, I need them no more. Firefox remains, but seldom used, just for reference.
I feel I’m lucky being a user of Opera for some years, and my choice years ago on Opera, the smallest browser, now the fastest, is right.
