Ah nice. Downloaded it earlier off Filehippo.com but didn't pay much attention to the changelog.

This speed dial is really a nice feature. Once again Opera is miles ahead of other browsers.

How's it bloated!? Opera is one of the nicest browsers I've used. Its fast and has lots of useful features!

Thanks for the heads up, I'll be upgrading shortly

Just installed it again...... and i'll admit its much nicer then when i last used it, so i do stand corrected, it looks and runs a lot nicer now.

speed dial is very nice. firefox is already in the bin, and the quick launch icon has been replaced with the new opera one

Isn't there a Firefox equivalent extension? Not flaming just saying FF can also do this, although not out-of-the-box as it were.

daven1986 · 12 Apr 2007 at 20:33

yeah there is a FF extension BUT FF 2.0 runs like a dog, pauses everytime i open an OCuk link, but opera is very fast and is a pleasure to use

I would use it if they fixed the password bug.

Quick Opera question - does anyone know how to make it open a new tab when you middle click on a Bookmark (a la Firefox)?

Cheers,
Matt

Hi All

I normally use FF 2.0.0.3 but thought I would give Opera 9.2 a go.

Having used it for a few hours today it does appear to be a little quicker than FF and is a good alternative.

But, I really don't like the quality of the display.

If you compare, for example, the BBC main news website the quality of text is not as good as FF particularly if you 'zoom'.

As I use a 24'' monitor I normally view at 110% or 120% and this really shows up the difference in quality.

Images can appear faster than FF but again I prefer the higher quality FF appears to offer.

Is this just me/my monitor/my graphics card?

Anyone else notice the difference?

t31os · 12 Apr 2007 at 23:22

I'm not binning firefox yet, and have no problems as the ones mentioned, but i do like the new opera.

To me though, Opera isnt any better and neither is Firefox, though Firefox is what i'm use to, so i'll mainly be using that.

Its not a contest, they're both good browsers.

daven1986 · 12 Apr 2007 at 23:23

i find the text the same, if not better in opera.

to DanMc07: what password bug?

I have a 20" display and can agree the Ghecko rendering engine is far far nicer if you have a quality gfx card for 2d and a quality screen for text display!
