Nice to see you like it.
I've tried - honestly - to like Opera for several years now. I can't stand the GTK+ look/feel of Firefox and Opera is built with Qt. However, it just never quite works right either on Wintendo or Linux. For example, I've yet to be able to get it to do Flash or MPlayer in openSUSE nor can I do the same in XP/Vista.
Well, that's OK, I still can't get firefox to do java on 11.0 x86_64 without installing the 32-bit version. Konqueror handles the weather loops just fine. Neither Firefox or Opera can handle the following javascript applet: http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=SHV&product=N0R&overlay=11101111&loop=yes I'll check Beta 5, but I don't hold out any great hope. While the mail part of Opera isn't quite what thunderbird is, the lightweight feel and performance of the browser makes is a handy alternative to firefox and Konqueror. Firefox feels like you are driving a Sherman Tank, and Konqueror has such quirks as not even being able to handle the FCKeditor built into a number of sites. I like the browser. I'm still evaluating the SpeedDial page in Opera. At first glance, I really like that too. The thumbnail approach to your top-ten sites or so is pretty cool. -- David C.
