Tried it yet?
Any comments from anyone?
Much nicer looking interface
Wand passwords, can't get that to work properly, may just be me.
Not sure about Opera Turbo either
Also doesn't seem to play flash ads until you click on them.
Despite stating that it works better with Javascript heavy sites like Facebook, it completely fails at working with the Edit Profile section of Facebook.
Google Maps: you can now drag a route to change it, but there still isn't a right click context menu. I don't know if this would be a Google fix or an Opera one.
Oh and google maps do seem a lot quicker
Playing with it now, shows how much press it gets as I'd not even heard about this before checking out engadget! Seems failry quick, am i right in thinking you don't seem to get as much screen real-estate as firefox, for example I can have bookmarks open in FF & browse well but in opera it seems to take up so much room, I've removed the panel but cant seem to get a clickable bookmarks icon on my toolbar only a drop-down one?
Given the way flash ads on Hexus were killing browsers a couple of months ago, this sounds like a positive development to me ;)Quote:

haven't tried 10 yet but that's not the case in 9.Quote:

Its the panel with bookmarks/widgets etc on it that takes up too much space, you can hide it at the side then click to bring it back but I don't want to do that.
I want one button on my toolbar which opens up my bookmarks at the side, with opera I don't see how to do this. I either have the panel hidden & open it then open bookmarks or I have a button on my toolbar which gives me a drop-dwon list of faves rather than opening them in the sidebar. :(
have you tried http://my.opera.com/community/forums/ or http://operawiki.info/Opera?
Thanks Buff, especially for the Operawiki link :)
Nope, only having a play with it so can't be bothered to look into it too much! It's a fairly standard thing so if it is possible then it's fairly un-intuitive :(Quote:

well it's horses for courses - I never use any of the side panels at all which maximises the browser window.Quote:

Alternatively if you can remember the start of the url just start typing that in the address bar & Opera will retrieve it from your bookmarks :)
Now using Opera Mini on my mobile as well :geek:
