Hum... Opera update seems to only see 10.10... Have to go to their damned website and download from there :(


Edit: Looks absolutely brilliant!

Speedy: I use Hydra IRC but it's nice to know opera does have it. :)

863203 2010-03-03 00:19:00 Whats not to like - it had tabbed browsing years before anyone else did, It works fast, has built in email client and (basic) bittorrent client and seems to get very good safety ratings.
Beats me why it doesnt have a bigger user base.

The only thing I dont like about 10.5 is they moved a 'panel' icon from the top of the screen to the bottom. If you click that icon it pops out a sidebar where you can cehck you mail/history/bookmarks etc. Seems dumb to have it lurking down the bottom of the screen now. (I did find a way to move it to the top - but it seemed like a dumb default location to move it to the bottom of the screen)

It also has preview tabs, which if you vertically resize the tabs, it will show you the pages on those tabs. Other browsers don't do that.

I quite like it. If it is not to your taste you can easily change it with Opera Skins (my.opera.com).

Yeah an interesting feature. Not sure if I like it coz it takes up a fair bit of screen real-estate, but the "live mousover" previews are certainly nice :)

863206 2010-03-03 03:00:00 You need a new monitor Chill.

It does not seem very stable to me. So far I have had it freeze on me twice (within the 30 odd mins I have used it) - with gmail.

Other than that I am fairly impressed.

863207 2010-03-03 03:02:00 Ok, now I am un-impressed. You can't drag a tab to the speed dial anymore. That's pretty lame, IMO. Cato (6936)
