Firefox vs. Opera vs. Internet Explorer

I saw the funny picture series over at Operawatch and thought that you would like to join the laughter. It is a rather visual comparison of how Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer would look like if they would be transportation vessels.

Judge for yourself.

You find Firefox listed as a big Barbie vehicle if the browser is used without extensions and as a fully armed Humvee with extensions. Opera is depicted as a fast car that would fit perfectly into the next James Bond movie, while Microsoft's Internet Explorer is depicted as a carriage. Things do have changed in the meantime and I personally do not think the comparison is fair anymore. Back then in 2007 though it was probably accurate enough.

    The author’s delivery is all wrong. You convince people by making good arguments with evidence to back them up, not being an asshat with strong opinions and a condescending tone.

    I love IE and will never even try Firefox or anything else. No need to change and I will continue to use this fine product without complaints.

    I use either Netscape or AOL. I think they are the best.

      Maxthon is not a browser, it’s a shell for IE and thus fails immediately.

    No doubt Firefox is the best but it stuck sometimes specially searching on GOOGLE and YOUTUBE. Chrome is also good.

    Fire Fox ***** 5 star
    Opera *** 4 star
    Chrome *** 3 star
    IE8 *** 3 star
    Safari ** 2 star

    Oh, and btw: I ignored the sarcasm in the 2nd pic on purpose, since even ignoring the useless add-ons, Firefox has more and better features than Opera, despite what Opera fanboys say.

    Funny… and accurate. Opera is faster and better than regular Firefox, but the point of using Firefox is the usefulness of its extensions, which makes it the most useful web browser ever.

    Opera is like a Ferarri, it looks cool and fast, but there ain’t an ashtray and it falls apart after 10.000 km.
