Slow GUI, non-Apple look and feel

Feedback Type:  Review

Contributed by: Central Scrutinizer--2008 Tuesday, June 20 2006 @ 02:13 PM PDT

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 1-6 months

Recommend Product: YES

Using Opera on my Mac makes me feel like I'm using Windows. It's ugly. The GUI is dog-slow. Yes, there are many cool features, but at the cost of a slow application. Opera may render pages the fastest, but it's GUI really taxes older G4 systems.

I prefer Safari or Camino: both are svelt apps that integrate seamlessly with OS X's look and feel, and both are very fast at rendering. I guess I just don't miss those few milliseconds Opera saves on rendering html.
