I strictly recommend not to wait until you earn big sum of cash to order different goods! You can get the loans or consolidation loans and feel fine

I have been a big fan of Opera yet I haven’t used it extensively, primarily because many websites have poor support for Opera.

But I can add one feature which got me introduced to Opera.

Turn off Image downloads :- back in 1998-1999 I was connecting to internet using 14.4kbps modem from a third world country. Browsing was very slow because of image rich websites, through a magazine I found that Opera had this feature that you could turn off image downloads and keep the view of the webpage as if the images were being displayed. Secondly you could pick and choose which images to download by clicking on them.

This was a such fantastic feature that for the next 2-3 years I used Opera extensively but as time passed I had trouble with many websites being incorrectly displayed in Opera, at that time I blamed Opera for their laziness but now I realize that its the job of the website developer to make sure that the website is compatible with a certain browser.

Another feature which is far superior to the other browsers is the Wand for password management. (It still needs some improvement) but I still use Opera for this feature.

Now on my winmobile device, I only use Opera and love it.

I always thought OmniWeb on NextStep was the introducer of tabbed browsing. Can anyone vouch for that?

I’ve been using Opera for many years and WAS very happy with it.
You could select it to identified itself as Opera, Internet Explorer or
Mozilla (Netscape)
Up to version 8.01 it used Internet Explorer code, when set as Opera,IE or NS.
This meant that it would also run VBScript etc.
Version 9.62 switched to Netscape code when running in Opera,IE or Firefox (NS) mode. So any page with VBScript will no longer work.
Yesterday I upgraded to Opera 10.10.
No error messages when installing it but when I try to run it all I get is an hourglass then the borders of a window tries to open and then closes. (No redraw of window title or main part of window)
I’ve tried un-installing and re-installing it a few more times and rebooting PC. (No change)
My PC is running Windows XP, so if anyone is using it on Windows XP and can get it to work, then please let me/us know?

Who said that the next version will be better than the last version?

I don’t buy these “Opera is not compatible enough” stuff. On Mozilla boards, you can read : “this site doesn’t work with Firefox but it does with Opera/IE/Safari” as well.
No, I think it’s a bad strategy.
First of all, Opera has waited too long to get free. It started in 2005, with Opera 8, at this time Firefox already had 20% market share.
Plus, I think Opera is not enough “international”, it’s all about english. You’ll find a lot of non-officials website and forums about Firefox, with a nice community, but very few with Opera. All the news, the youtube video, the advertising, it’s always in english.
