I've used it for years. Non-exclusively, though, just for special purposes, like browsing certain types of websites. I like some of its features. And I find it takes much less resources from my system than firefox. I've never had to restart opera for being sluggish, and that's with like 10 or more tabs open and a few hours of browsing. Sometimes firefox gets so sluggish I have to 'killall firefox', and if I've had a few tabs open, even closing them doesn't make things much better. Admittedly, since I disabled a bunch of extensions I didn't use, things have got better. That said, I agree that AdBlock is absolutely missed when using something other than firefox. -- ~vi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
