Is anyone actively using this web browser? If you are, how well do you know it? What is your opinion of it? What would I get over and above the free version (other than lack of advertising bar) if I pay $39 for it?
I think the only difference is the ads, for the user. Makes a difference for the developers though. But there are two features of Opera that I like immensely: 1. If you have multiple tabs open, and you close the browser, next time you open you have the option of "resume where you stopped" so all those pages would be loaded instantly. 2. I generally can't reed the fonts in their default sizes in 1024x768 on anything smaller than a 17" screen. It's just too small. So I always have to enlarge the fonts (ctrl++ in Moz) three or so notches. This seriously screws up some pages, because the pictures, stay the same size. In opera you can set the size of the page (in %) and it scales everything. The pictures, flash animations, everything, so your page stays fine. Try it. If you like it, buy it. It's definitely on my "to buy" list. -- Kind regards Hans du Plooy Newington Consulting Services hansdp at newingtoncs dot co dot za
