Opera Review


So yes, I decided to try out the Opera Web browser. So I thought "Why not make a review on my blog? I'm under qualified, have no life, and have only 4-5 followers with one reader! I'm a perfect for reviewing stuff!" So here you go.

At first it reminded me of Google Chrome, the one time I used it. So, while looking at the fancy-pansy new page I noticed two things. One, it has REALLY smooth scrolling. Two, there was a little hints thing at the top of Opera site telling me that I can search using the navigation bar, so I searched "Dick in a box." The Youtube video loaded (what seamed) faster on Opera, but that might have been because I'm not used to it. But something strange happened. The video, text, and links loaded and worked, but everything else came 10 seconds later. This only happened once though. Later I tried portal Flash, which loaded a bit faster, but played the same.

After that, I decided to check out http://questionablecontent.net/ and ADVERTISEMENTS ADVERTISEMENTS ADVERTISEMENTS. At least ad_block had a ready made list of things to block, but this only blocks certain ones, the rest you have to 'Add'. A nice feature though, is the little blue thing that appears in your navigation bar every time you load a page. It tells you how much of the page is loaded. There are also TONS of other cool things. But I don't like how it's set up. I like Navigation/Address, bookmarks, and tabs. Opera is Bookmarks, tabs, and navigation.

Still, it is better then Aol, and can have a decent fight against Internet Explorer (if you have a mod to block all viruses). There are WAAAAYYY to many fan-boys for Google Chrome, Safari, and Firefox that it is impossible to find a non-bias test. Even I'm not sure which is better I would recommend it to anyone. Now, I feel like I'm cheating on Firefox. I'm going to go look up youtube videos on kittens with Firefox 3.#'s . You can get it here if you want this browser.

Revolution (and Free Portal Link)


http://store.steampowered.com/freeportal/
(Good until May 24th)

But other then Valve being Epic, I have a Xkcd comic for you to check out over there. This Comic will be what we will follow from this point on.
I want to build a relation ship with you guys. No really. NO! Really.
But before I can build a relationship, I need a better community that I can have a relationship with. And the key to that is having content people will want to read. The issue is, all the content people want to read is bull crap to me, so we need to create something better... something that will make links be posted from the Blogosphere to the deep, cluttered servers of private websites. We need people to be chatting about us (in a good way) on 4chan. We want Links in the description on Youtube, profiles mentioning us, we want groupies, facekbookers, tweeters, myspacers, bloggers, cartoonists, black, white, Asian, from Americans to Canadians, Europeans to Indians EVERYONE. We want the gamers to say "Hey man, check this epic blog" while recording their walkthroughs. We want the tangled jungles of the forums to have topics about us! We can, nay... WILL be the better blog of tomorrow. Today!
Today yes Today! This is the beginning, of a revolution. Today is the day, where we being the fight to make asuperepicblog the best damn blog on the internet. We were once a blog with me talking about a power-outage in my neighborhood, but we will become a blog that thousands, millions, even BILLIONS of people will look at. The entire internet will be reading the words that flow from my keyboard. There is only one problem... What to write about?
Everyone has different tastes, but what is one thing that everyone will like to read? This, my loyal followers, is the only thing in our way. So post a comment, and change the blogs of tomorrow.
