Now that I have a Stumble button for Opera, I use it for just about all sites except Google Reader. Firefox works much better on it. Anyone have any tips for getting Opera to play nicer with Reader?

this seems to be a particular good build. i am using firefox 3 since some monnths. [with tree stye tabs (vertical tabs), stylish, stumbleupon, stop autoplay, scribe fire (blog editor), personal menu, organzie search engines, firegestures (allows opening of multiple links with a mouse stroke), autocontext, cs lite (perfect cookie controll), and some less important extentions] in firefox i miss operas popupblocker so much. and the wand. and the posibility to open windows in the background when they are trigered by a form's enter button (via pressing s***+mouseclick) i would still use opera, actually i do sometimes, and i would not even mind using two browsers for ever, if they could just use the same bookmarks (at the same time). speaking of bookmarks: opera's inability for right click context and drag and drop in the bookmark menus is the most important reason to make firefox my "first" browser. (the one which gets my up to date and complete bookmark collection) so i hope that one day the GUI toolkit gets more powerfull. as far as I know it is third party and Linux related or something (KDE?motiv?). opera can't change it, and linux stuff (open group effort stuff) is allways frigging conservative (sloooow) in evolution. love to opera

Fast, safe, reliable, but some pages can't display correctly.

At least this ugly piece of junk loads quicker now.

wand doesn't work!!! new passwords are not saved, old ones are not active! grrrrrrrrrrr

MHT files still don't tag, but if you write in .mht, it saves pages as such. Other than that, all seems good.....i haven't gotten into the digg craze/guess cause I save -everything- these days, so I don't understand that problem. Its destined to be the best,. Thanks to the Developers for the most customizable browser that comes with the ability to do most all your web-work in 1 package.

i'm confused how to rate this... This IS better than the last beta, which was oddly the most unstable of all the 9.5 builds I've tried. But it's only a few more builds on from the last release and it still seems no nearer to being released (at least it seems that way to me) - just an endless stream of betas that squash a few bugs and introduce new ones. I just wish they'd get on with it and release it

anonymouscowturd: I like the fact that Opera logs in using the supplied password before I have to choose if I want Opera to store the password or not. This prevents me storing an incorrect password. I can see if the password was accepted before I choose to save it.
Rated 50/50 by anonymouscowturd at May 20, 2008
The new Digg commenting system doesn't seem to crash this build which is good as it does previous builds and 9.27. Also Yahoo! mail drag and drop seem to work, but causes text selection when performing the drag. One thing i've noticed that does seem to be different is that now Opera logs you into a site before you've selected whether or not to save the password. This speeds things up i suppose but i'm undecided as to whether this is necessarily a good thing. @mharvey. Good point dude. I'm sold!

McAleck: Dude, I'd suggest you relax and keep it mind that this is a BETA/ALPHA-type release. If you want stability, use latest stable version, which is 9.27 if I remember it right. Opera > * FF is great, but O tops it in every respect, except for plugins.

This browser is as lame as the real opera. Where are the plugins? Has anyone been to the plugin page...I wonder why no one is writing plugins for this browser? Wait...I know, because its complete trash and 3rd party developers know its trash. I would give it more respect if it wasnt STILL slower than Firefox when the latter is loaded with running plugins. If the developers of Opera do not step it up and provide something innovative, this browser will never gain a decent market share. I give it a 2 because its getting better. ****** To the guy above, that wimpy list of plugins cannot hold a candle...and did you use FLASH as an example.....every browser should support flash.

Firefox is still faster :D

Remember this is beta software - its put out there to test new functionality and find bugs - not to rate it down when you find some.

@daddy_spank EPIC FAIL O_o Your comparing apples and onions! If they were both free most would drive the Ferrari as few can actually afford a Ferrari. However, both Opera and Firefox ARE free. One has exploded in popularity while the other putters along like an old 1980's Pinto that is in desperate need of permanent retiring! ----------------------------------------------- A decent browser but significantly slower than both Safari and Firefox 3 RC1. Also Firefox 3 is more stable, renders web pages more accurately and faster. If Opera is such a better browser than Firefox, it's kind of hard to explain why Firefox's market share is growing and will further explode in growth when Firefox 3 is final while Opera HAS YET to achieve a meager 1% market share! (^__^) LOL.

Yes, Opera does not have plugins, at least plugins like Firefox. It is my opinion that the worst thing about Firefox is plugins. Those optional things should be built into the browser. It seems every time Firefox fixes something in their browser (because of security problems or simply an update to make Firefox better), many of the Firefox plugins break. The Opera optional addons are a part of the browser and do not break.

doesn't support gmail v2. but it is very good and very fast.

@improvelence Plugins are for browsers that have limited functionality out of the box(yet somehow use way more memory and yes FF3 is still a pig it just isnt as big a pig as v2). The fact that there is a long list of plugins for FF to mimic the functions of Opera says something Betas look promising though I could care less about the digg crap but still looking forward to the final release EDIT @internetworld7 FF like apple are marketed better. That has nothing to do with them being good or not but the sh8 that people like yourself throw around is further proof of that.
