• Why, thanks!
• I emailed many hours ago & still haven't got a reply.
• Oh, I see. Duh.
• Thank Melinika, she sent me the link.
• Thanks, guys!
• OMFG. Thankyou. Now if only Opera would stop crashing ten or more times a day, that would make me ecstatic!
• Now what do I do? I don't adapt to change well. Moderatur pleaz hope me.
• It's ugly and different and I feel strange. /shiver /foetal position
• there.. there's so much.. so much space! So this is what agoraphobia feels like.....
• Posting from Opera... I give it a whirl for a few days, but I don't see a whole lot to convince me that I should switch. P.S. thanks tracicle.
• I put off doing this all day, and then decided to try it before bed. Verdict so far? Ugh. The design's cluttery, the space is poorly utilized, and worst of all, I couldn't easily figure out (and haven't at all yet figured out) how to change the tabbing options, as when I hit for a new tab it actually opens that tab. Maybe that works for some people, but I read MoFi, MeFi, LJ and I click out tabs and then work my way through them afterwards. I'm not really in the mood to change my browsing habits. But, er, thanks for posting it here because it made me decide to give it a shot, and it was interesting to actually use Opera, which I hadn't before. But I'll stick with Safari (which I adore) and Firefox (which I just find a bit off on the Mac).
• Thank you!!
• Why Opera over Mozilla?
• I use Opera all the time. It's just faster, and does tabbed browsing (yes, I know firefox does too, but damned if I can figure out how to change it) and I like it.
• livi, try middle clicking on the link - it opens the tab in background. (assuming i've properly understood your concern)
• War3zFilter!! Oh noes!!
• How do you tell opera to go to the furthest right tab (rather than the last tab you opened?) I too am giving it a week. There are bunches of little cool stuff here. Yes, I'm missing some great firefox extensions, but greasemonkey has been broken...so it's a perfect time to try. First impressions: Jesus it's fast.

• Second impression: It posts twice as much as one of those lesser browsers.
• OK, I thought I'd give it a go. It installs nicely, it registers nicely, it runs nicely. But when you tweak Firefox's speed, there's not much difference in speed. I'll keep it (it was free, after all), but I doubt I'll use it much.
• And (now posting from Firefox), the page doesn't refresh when I subit a comment, which can result in the user jabbing the button 100 times to get that darned comment on the *filter.
• Gracias, muchachas!
• I used Opera for many, many years before switching to Firefox... It wasn't until there was a mouse gestures plugin that actually worked as well as Opera's. Even then, I miss it a bit, but now things like Greasemonkey mean that I'll never go back. WTF, Why do I feel guilty for switching web browsers!?!?
• Opera is my backup browser. I WANT to like it. I always root for the underdog, but I just like firefox better. Opera will work on some sites firefox won't, so it is my number 2 fall back position. There is so much that Opera does out of the box, it can be intimidating. The only reason I use it first is that it easilly arranges webpages into column so I can compare two websites without having to adjust the window size manually so that one takes up exactly half and the another takes up the other half. Of course, I only do that a couple times a year, so I don't fire up opera that often.
• As much as I hate to admit it, the AOL explorer, from AOL (they actually did something good!) works really well. It's better than Opera, and the tabbing works very well.
• buck09: Opera is capable of running many Greasemonkey scripts. P.S: I haven't tried it personally.
• thank you, tracicle. imo, opera is a sweet browser to which mozilla owes several ergonomic debts.
• Will the registration code I wrote on a PostIt still be good should I decide to install Opera later this week? I've used it before and after a couple of weeks went back to FireFox, but I do miss auto-resizing the browser screen. If anyone can tell me how to free myself from horizontal scrolling in FF - eyestrain be danged! - it'd be much appreciated.
• I run scripts on Opera - like the "see deleted mefi threads" script (sometimes fun). Is that a greasemonkey script?
• Late to the party and I missed my free code. Damn. Oh well, I only use Opera for testing websites anyway; Firefox is my browser of choice. (Because it can run off of a flash drive and I can use it anywhere and don't have to open IE just because I'm on some other person's computer who isn't cool enough to realize how awesome other web browsers are these days.)
• I've got two free codes you can have. Say the word & I send ya one. (finally got email back from the automated response thing that I tried before monkeybashi's link)
