Seems obvious in retrospect

I’ve spent a large chunk of this year, so far, using IE7 betas and Opera 9 as “primary” browsers. I very recently switched back to Firefox for various reasons. Loving the fact that most of the sites I use work so well with it, but have been getting close to a rant about “sluggishness.”
Then I saw this article on Javascript Speed Tests. I think I see my issues now.
(Hey Rich, check the comments in this digg article for a tip on how to “move” tab bar in Opera)

Thankee for the heads up.
And as soon as it renders pages correctly I’m THERE.
But why is it that Opera renders the dreaded Acid2 test, that only opera ever touts because only it renders it… but it won’t render actual websites that people go to? I don’t get it… it’s so good it’ll render this hypersensitive test right… but so good it won’t render pages everything else will… splain it to me Lucy!
Ugh, you’re killing me.
Writely + Opera = a url titled “http://www.writely.com/?action=unsupported_browser” even if I have Opera pretend to be mozilla or IE. It knows. No writely with Opera.
Google Calendar + Opera = Read only. Can’t do anything but look at the calendars.
Google Spreadsheets + Opera = Barf as well.
Zoho.com the online office suite yields: “Sorry! currently we are not supporting your browser version”
Opera is fast, but it’s not rendering sites yet. Lots of things are faster if you don’t want them to show you anything. From yesterday’s post on my blog… those three sites are sites I use.
Now that you’ve shown me how to customize Opera to work like Firefox I really like how it looks… now if only it would do something, like render a web page. *sigh*
I’m not denying it’s the fastest thing out there for displaying the much touted acid2 test… but that’s… about… it.
