I think I like Firefox+ImgLikeOpera+AdblockPlus better than Opera Turbo. Speed seems about the same and I don't think there's an ad blocker for Opera that's as good as Adblock Plus. I wonder how much bandwidth I'm wasting by passing on Opera's code compression. I'm only displaying cached images so the image compression isn't helping. Anyone else tried Opera Turbo? - Grant
