[NoshRunner]

@scotty121400 opera 12 is stable now, so probably upgrade!

Opera is always the best, Chrome just has too much fanboys.

What amazes me about Opera is how fast and efficient it is considering just how much is built into it. The things Opera does out of the box you need extensions for in the other browsers.

I'm a long-time Opera fan. It kinda "grinds my gears" that many of Chrome's and Firefox's feature sets have been blatantly ripped from Opera, and Opera still doesn't get the respect it deserves. Opera has been innovating for years, Firefox and Chrome just ride on Opera's coat tails.

@scotty121400 Opera's hardware acceleration debuting at version 12 uses OpenGL, not just DirectX10, and over the way Microsoft's IE browsers do. Opera will have compatibility for OpenGL, and DirectX video cards, as well as old as possible GPUs with good drivers. To elaborate more, 11.60 is basically almost the same as Opera 12, the difference is one has GPU acceleration, the other doesn't, both have similar updated Presto rendering engine, and features now.

@scotty121400 Opera 12 is in experimental build with GPU acceleration. The most ambitious hardware acceleration to date as it tries to cover legacy GPUs as well. Opera 11.60 is a experimental build as well, but it mostly focuses on crash fixes, it has no GPU acceleration, that is slated for version 12, which right now focuses on getting hardware acceleration bugs out. Both are not public stable builds, they are for beta testers. You could download 12, but it's a experimental.
