i'm using this browser now, and its MUCH faster than anything i've ever used... and contains more features than you can swing a stick at... built in rss feed reader, notepad, bookmark managing is alot easier, mouse gestures, the ability to zoom in on webpages (great for those 1px differences), a top 10 most viewed urls dropdown for quick viewing of sites...

thats just what i've discovered so far... this may even make me switch from FireFox, the only thing I hate, is the crappy styled form boxes (they are abit windows 95 for my liking)

I really like opera, but like jay said, i'm one for aesthetics and it just doesn't have as sleak and interface.

i've been using it alot today, the main reason i love this browser is the fastness of the loading of pages... but the "magic wand" remembering password feature is SO annoying

I like Opera, nice little dinky browser, use it for testing my CSS in, have to agree with Jay there are a few nice features, not sure about the speed. I still use Firefox though, just so you firefox rox guys dont lynch me

Sorry to go off topic, but why Jay did you post the same thing twice

because Opera refuses to let the fast reply form on topics on P2L work.. it just HANGS for ages, even though its posted it, so i click multiple times in fury, only for it to double post..

The thing is you need to configure it to your liking. And for you sleek interface lovers download one from the site!

There's one huge feature (i think) that firefox HAS to have..

Ever click on a link and it's supposed to open in a resized window? well, Opera keeps it as a tab, but shows it as a window. It also allows you to control one tab through another, which firefox doesn't...
