    I have been giving Opera 11.11 a bit of a spin occasionally of late. It's been a long time since I used Opera regularly. It has some good extensions & an adblocker that really works now. NotScripts runs pretty good on it too. I think that this is the best version of Opera yet. Its portable has finally replaced SeaMonkey on my smallest thumbdrive.


    The Yahoo! Mail beta is a bit buggy sometimes so it's nice to be able to open a browser in mail 'Classic', as I do when I use Opera.

    You should check out the original Swedish version of Wallander on BBC iPlayer if you can. It's far better than Branagh's & I actually prefer reading subtitles!

    Opera's a respectable browser. I just wish it didn't have so many issues.

    It has hugely improved though since I used it regularly back in the #9 series days. Admittedly there are still a few page rendering problems (sometimes resolved by simply reloading the page) & then there is the great toolbar disappearing icon fandango of course. I always think of it as some beautiful innovative exotic sports car that just isn't totally reliable. It's great to drive, often way ahead of the competition, but sometimes some of the instruments don't work & occasionally it just breaks down altogether.

    at the moment i'm using IE9.

    it was a very tough decision choosing between the top 4 browsers.
    my top 2 picks were Chrome and IE9 because of their sandboxing, speed and a better output when saving webpages as PDF.

    Most issues have nothing to do with the browser, but with the fact that some website-makers don't comply with the official rules internationally agreed on. It is just a matter of market-share

    Just switched from SeaMonkey to Firefox over the weekend.

    Lots of work switching over 5 computers but I think it was a good choice.
