Is anyone actively using this web browser?
I use version 7.50, usually have 6 windows open w/ around 140 separate tabs. Opening this many webpages takes quite awhile but once loaded it saves me time by not having to search bookmarks. Opera has worked quite well, most of my banking and credit card sites work fine, I have had issues w/ some streaming video sites in the past but since I don't use that feature much I don't know if the problems still exist. Occasionally I will go to the desktop where I keep all of my Opera windows and find that it has closed up shop, don't know why, its not frequent enough to bug me. Also I find the Operamotifewrapper stays active (and uses a little cpu time) after all 6 windows have loaded. I can kill this process with kde system guard w/ no apparent ill effect to opera
What is your opinion of it?
It's one of my 4 favorite browsers, and the most frequently used except for Konqueror
What would I get over and above the free version (other than lack of advertising bar) if I pay $39 for it?
Thats it as far as I can tell. BTW I use the text advertising (targeted) option, this is really not obtrusive at all and the adds are actually things I "Might" be interested in. HTH -- dh Don't shop at ZipZoomFly.com!
