I'm a Lite-On user myself and i know opera can't download from that site.
What can i do if someone doesn't want to or can't make his page work under other browsers. Why are there pages with correct code that Opera has no problems with.
Recently a friend of mine tried opening an online store or something and the picture of the product didn't load in IE. Opera had no problem. I don't really know what the reason was. IE was running at default settings. True, my Outpost Firewall blocks ads but it blocks them in Opera as well and it didn't block this one, so it had to be the browser.
Concerning Lite-On again: that's why i still use IE for a few pages that are written by either a moron or made to work with IE better. My main browser is Opera and IE is secondary because only a very few sites that I visit require IE to be viewed properly. Since the time I spend on them is less than 0.1% why should I deprive myself of convenience and not use Opera. It saves me more time than IE would ever will by normal surfing.
I'm not THAT familiar with security flaws but there has got to be a reason for IE to be titled as more dangerous than the others. Opera and FF have flaws, that's normal. There is no perfect software but if i have to choose between two BAD things i'd choose the LEAST BAD. Let's say Opera is as full of holes as much as IE is (which is not the case and you know it), i'd still pick Opera because it has A LOT MORE features that i like and that make my surfing easier and faster. If you search the web i'm sure you'll find out that Opera is faster at opening pages if you haven't noticed that by yourself.
Opera my have some security issues and IE others. IE has more because it's the most widely spread browser. I think if FF or Opera were as popular as IE, a lot more flaws would be made known. I already said that. But i also said that is a fact that Opera is safer than IE. Safer by 0.1 or 10 or 10526%, it doesn't matter. It's safer. Even if it's by little. Like i said: it doesn't matter if you win a race by an inch or by a meter or by a mile. Winning is winning.
