OT2 Browsers

Which browser is best?

I have been using Opera for many years.
I love Opera for its freedom from junk and ease of use.
Chrome, Firefox, and MSIE I cannot tolerate for a number of reasons.
Perhaps they can be customized to equal Opera?

Why am I in such a minority?

There was a time when differences between browsers was
a problem with much discussion here. Is that no longer the case?
Do all browsers conform to a standard for html(x)?

(you can, of course, ignore this thread)

Discussing differences between browser’s layout engines is a subject
fundamentally different from a (pointless, flamewar-inciting) thread about
which browser is “best”.

Also, differences between browsers in general are not specific to HTML, so
as you already know, the general subject is off-topic here. It is on-topic
in comp.infosystems.ww.authoring.misc instead.

It is impolite to start a thread knowing that it is off-topic.

To *a* standard: yes. To one standard: no. STFW.

That nobody has to read everything is no excuse for posting anything,
anywhere.

Learn to post; that includes, but is not limited to, learning to quote.
And get a real name if you want to have the chance to be taken seriously.

Most unfortunate question.

Why would you want that? If you like Opera, use it. If you like old
Opera (<15), and are concerned that its development has been ceased, you
could give Vivaldi[1] a try.
