Thanks - just downloaded it....

So - new hotkeys, and BitTorrent support. Meh, nothing too exciting to me, although the BitTorrent part looks quite nice, what with the maximum downloads and uploads speed and whatnot.

Now to find out what a widget is (in Opera-speak)

...... pity I couldn't get it to run though!


Debugging task for tomorrow!

Installed on 3 PCs... no worries. Seems much improved (again) and still very fast and lightweight (despite all the new features).. New content block is really nicely done, I like the right click on word to search feature (pretty handy) and the widgets are AJAX std so they're quite good too (i use widgets alot on dual monitor systems).
Oh, works fine with Vista too..

Still the best 'out the box' browser for me - although i'm no fan of the GUI default layout style [always a bugbear with opera] but that's soon changed - i hate messing round downloading bits n bobs that i just expect to be there.

I've been using IE7 on vista a fair bit and it's not bad at all (massive improvement on IE6).

Opera is just fantastic.

With a nice simple skin, and all the buttons arragned how you like it, it's the best browser by far.

I'm a big fan of 'operatic orbit' (skin) with large buttons - a nice tangy orange

Just realised that Opera keeps appearing in the taskbar... is there any way to get rid of it? (Tried looking through the options, but couldn't find anything, although it is probably there somewhere...)
