hmmm looks interesting.  Anyone trying it?  I'm on Firefox and love it.  It'll have to beat that for me to move.

Opera has been around for years and its a very good and fast browser. I have used it abit before but i never liked the ad-banner, and paying for a browser is just retarded.

I use it on my wintel now.

Is it worth looking into?

I used to be an Opera user till Firefox came out. Opera started to become bloated and slow while Firfox was quick and slick.  But Firefox will bog down incredibly when I go to use it after it's been minimized for a while.
So I'm trying Opera again and so far so  good.  Firefox let's you manage cookies easier while Opera let's you see em ALL (much more than Firefox IMO) if you select the option to ask what to do with it each time you get one. and no more pop-ups at all. Lately it seems some websites had found a way around Firefox's pop up blocker as I now get them sometimes.

Yup, I use it every day. Works great, but it is abit "bigger" than safari so i use it mostly for banking and other office use.

On my wintel it is my standard browser.

I use Opera.  I prefer it to Fire Fox or IE.

"Adblock extension"

Sweet!  I got that running now and it fixed one (of only two) major issue I've had with Firefox. Thanks
