*goes off to Opera Support forums*

You mean "goes off back to firefox" right? :P

Both actually - :worthy:

But I'm going to stick with Firefox :) Probably because I've gotten used to it, but its a lot better than Opera imho <3

I'm sick of the reload button wasting my bandwidth :D :doh:

@Donna - Upgrade to what? I thought I already had the latest version :huh:

Opera is my 2nd fave browser, after FF, and I got mine ad-free when they did that serial code giveaway anniversary special or something.

I've heard rumors Opera was coming out with a new broswer code-named "Merlin" that uses some Google services. Anyone else know of this?

:P Opera is not compatable with the rich text editor in IPB V2.1.1 shame, hopefully they'll fix that soon.

From Asa Dotzler, Firefox Developer:

Today I read, that the CEO of Opera wants Opera to become #2. "Our goal is to become the number two browser," he said, as part of the press roll-out around this new "free" message they're pushing.

I've always been partial to the #1 spot and have always believed that's where we're headed with Firefox. I wish Opera all the success in the world at achieving their goal and will be happy to see them achieve that #2 browser spot -- right behind Firefox :-)

If you enjoy coding, you'll have nearly every browser anyway...I don't have the Mac ones of course
