I use Opera for my browser. The lessons are using chrome. Is there any problem using different browsers. I did some work with code academy and they had problems with different browsers. I am not a fan of chrome or google but I will use them if I have to. Thanks for any info on this. Paul Rodriguez

Since you're currently on the HTML stage, all of what you're currently learning is well supported by the major browsers. Though as you begin to learn CSS, you may notice that Opera is unable to support certain CSS properties.

I'd recommend having both Opera and Chrome or Firefox. If something doesn't look right, open it up in Chrome or Firefox to see if you've made a mistake, or if Opera simply does not yet have support for what you are doing.

Paul,

You are able to use whichever browser you prefer, though some things may not be exactly the same across all browsers, as with any website. In fact, when building your own websites or applications, you should always view your work in every browser you can get your hands on to make sure that, regardless of browser selection, every user will have a great experience with your product.

As far as lessons in Treehouse go, though, no: you are not required to use Chrome. Certain courses (like the one that details Chrome's Developer Tools) may require it, but otherwise you can use what you please.
