Install Opera 9.51 in Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron
Sponsored Links
After several months using only Firefox as my default browser, today I decided to install Opera in my PC. The version I download was 9.51 which currently the latest version from Opera. The installation process quite easy, what you have to do is download the file and double click on it, gives the root permission and soon you’ll enjoy browsing Opera on your Linux box.
Actually, if I had to choose which one is better, FF or Opera? Until I write this post, I still love Firefox very much, because Firefox has a lot of add ons which is helped me much doing my daily task, such as the tools I use to write this post is Scribefire which is already embedded in my FF long times ago. Opera looks ugly with the default font (I don’t know with Opera for Micr Windows).
For me, the main purpose of installing Opera is just as a backup, just in case my FF suddenly hang or goes something wrong, I still have another browser as an alternatives. What about you? How do you feel about Opera for Linux? Have another opinions? Share it here in my comments…. Here is the screenshot opera 9.51 running on Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04

I like Opera because it does not use so much memory and it is fast. But for some unknown reason it does not resolve DNS names for me. No proxy, every other web browser works fine, but in opera I would have to type every site by IP address…

I realise this post is old- yet, I’ve recently switched over to Opera Full time on Ubuntu 8.04.
F.L.O.S.S is great, Linux is great- but sometimes even closed source programs can shine. Opera is perfect example of that. I still keep firefox 3.0.7 as a backup. However- I never have to use it.
Firefox 3.0.6 crashed at least twice a day, Opera has only crashed once in the entire time I’ve used it.
Ladies and Gentleman; the proof (as always) is in the pudding.
