and its STILL safer than IE apparently, lol,

yeah, im really impressed with Opera, i downloaded it with the java support, why, im unsure of, lol, since i dont use many sites that require the java plugin, its a really good sized browser, and has a lot of flashy stuff, the thing i like the most are the mouse gestures, really cool for the lazy guys with an old mouse like me :),

grtz sal.

117908 2003-02-05 03:45:00 Horses Hoof,
i reformatted a 486 not too long ago and tried to run IE on it. It kinda protested and failed miserably at most of the tests, so i put Opera6 on it, it slugged, but atleast it could run flash stuff, be it f-r-a-m-e- a-f-t-e-r f-r-a-m-e

There a few tricks that IE can run and opera ignores... this is why opera does the job quickly

The more I use Opera, the better I like it. The only thing it seems to do is load pages bit by bit, whereas M$IE6 tends to load it in one shebang. I am on dial-up, and find the way Opera allows you to surf the web - while downloading heaps of Mp3s is quite impressive

Regarding those security holes, they will probably have a patch for that just as quick as M$ would post for IE. Its only new, so there are bound to be a few found

It uses the Sun JRE (Java Runtime Environment) 1.4.

I haven't used Opera before, so thought now is as good a time as any to give it a go. It looks to me like it has a bit of a memory leak. I started it up this morning and checked the memory usage (around 14Mb). Throughout the day I have been checking, and it is now up over 100Mb. (OS is Win2k). Is this normal behaviour? ?:|

117912 2003-02-05 04:46:00 I've just allowed cookies,which has let me sign in!Been playing with Opera today.Seems to load Press F1 pages about the same as IE6,but it is faster on the web.I'm viewing this through both programs,seems strange! This is my first try of anything other than IE. Quite good fun. :-)
Lots of different options.

i'm looking for the actual ver number. if its 1.4 it will be something like 1.4.1_01.
