Is There a Perfect Browser?

October 19, 2004 by debbie T | Internet • Opera Browser

A few weeks ago, I was having issues with Firefox, so I moved to Opera full-time. After fiddling and fumbling to make Opera more user-friendly to my needs, I thought I found my perfect browser.

Well, a few little imperfections have been popping up:

Printing only a “selection” strips all formatting.
Cannot drag ‘n drop in text boxes. Yes, this is very irritating, especially when blogging. Opera also seems to mess up my Quicktag placement in WordPress. Opera inserts chosen tag at the end of the entry box, not where the cursor is located.
Opera doesn’t save form/text data.
Saving an image as desktop wallpaper is sketchy. It is supposed to work, but more often than not, when I right-click on an image, the setting is not available.

There is still a lot I adore about Opera, so I don’t think I am ready to give up on it just yet. But can there be one perfect browser for me? Something that could satisfy ALL my browsing needs? Wouldn’t it be great to take favorite bits & parts of each browser and create one excellent super browser? I could rule the Internet!
