Opera displays webpages incorrectly. Well, guess it's a giant bug! Gonna go back to Google–
No, no, no. Many web developers don't care about Opera. THEY JUST DON'T CARE. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Firefox are the most popular browsers. So if something's wrong, they say, "IE's wrong? Whoops, gotta change that! Chrome got that right. Wait, is that one correct? Nope, I gotta add -webkit-. IE still got it right. Firefox... all fine!" or something like that. WAIT, THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT SAFARI EITHER!?
NVM.
Opera was the first browser with tabs
Yeah, I know this doesn't have ANYTHING to do with performance. But I'm just saying Opera was second to introduce tabs after InternetWorks in 1994. Opera's preview release with tabs was released in 1996, and the actual non-beta release was made in 2000.
Opera is as bad as ****
I don't think so. Opera is very awesome and whoever said that probably didn't try Opera, just cross-browser testing or something like that. You know what, OPERA IS PRETTY AWESOME FOR WINDOWS, MAC, AND LINUX.
Opera is as secure as the shut mouse hole that the cat obviously cannot see (yeah, that didn't make sense)
Wrong. Secunia reports Opera has 1 unpatched vulnerability as of... oh, 2009. Clearly Opera has stayed on top of its security, while Internet Explorer has not (AAAH!), Firefox has not either done very well (YIKES), and Safari has been doing pretty well, but not as good as Opera. Actually, never mind. Safari hasn't patched any out of the 3. In 2009, here are the number of issues compared to the highest they ever had before 2009.
Internet Explorer's highest: 41. In 2009: 40.
Firefox's highest: 13. In 2009: 6. (not 1 yet?)
Safari's highest: 3. In 2009: 3. (WHAT?)
Opera's highest: 8. In 2009: 1. (yay)
So yeah...

Technology Myths: Security
You've heard it. HTTPS, passwords, Wifi, what else? But some things passed out there aren't quite correct. Let's start with one issue.
Use different passwords for every service.
I think I would not like to memorize 20+ services for many services like Facebook, Twitter, Lumosity, Google, Myspace, Linkedin, Pinterest, Reddit, Github, StumbleUpon, Yahoo, Microsoft, Digg, Apple, My Opera, Parallels, vBulletin, Forumotion, Wikispaces, Wikipedia, Spotify, Paypal, etc.
HOW DO I MEMORIZE THEM???
I recommend you do reuse passwords. First choose a password to cover non-important things, like accounts on Parallels (unless you're a heavy web developer), vBulletin, Forumotion, Wikipedia, and whatever seems unimportant for you.
Next choose a password for moderately important services, like Myspace, Pinterest, Reddit, Github (unless you absolutely NEED TO GET THAT OPEN-SOURCE PROJECT or are working on a GIANT REPOSITORY), My Opera, Apple (unless you LOVE OBJECTIVE-C), Microsoft (unless you use Hotmail, Skydrive, Skype, and all that primarily), and StumbleUpon. It's all there.
Finally, choose separate passwords for more important accounts. Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Apple, Paypal, etc.
Now if you have trouble, use a password manager. Many browsers supply you with a password manager (Chrome, Firefox, IE, Opera, Safari), but I recommend a global password manager, that is, to cover your whole computer, like KeePass, 1Password, or Keeper. Even a basic Ruby/JavaScript/Python program should do with hashes/objects/dictionaries (if you're geeky in programming). So yeah.
Download Tor to browser anonymously.
I do not need more megabytes of my computer taken away! Most modern browsers (unless you're using some crappy Windows XP machine) support private browsing/incognito browsing. Opera, Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and IE all have it. Plus, Google Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer have Do Not Track. For Opera and Safari (?) this is an extension.
Yay, let's download Do Not Track Plus! Or Ghostery! BOTH! =) And oh yeah, don't forget Adblock Plus.
Uh, really, you only need one of them, not all three. Lifehacker says something about all three, but remember Adblock Plus is really all you need plus private browsing.
Those are only 3 myths. There are a lot more you can find on Lifehacker.
HAHA! THAT WASN'T A MYTH! You fool. I can only find 3 myths at the time.
