    My culprit with Opera, and probably for almost everyone that tried Opera but didn't like it, is that they may be the first to implement something new, but they always don't come any further than the pure basics, and pretty much all of their "features", for example the (completely worthless) adblocking try.
    If you don't come any further than a naked screen without any options for the things you try to implement, and you don't see them improving in newer releases, you know you're on a death trail, and switch to something else.

    Yes, thank you :) Now, I just need to remember how to get Opera to behave with my css and I'll be good to go.

    I understand that this add-on is similar to ones available for Chrome or Firefox. But the odd thing that I have experienced is that the download button often disappears in Chrome and that downloads don't always work in Firefox. But, so far, the Opera one is working just as it should.

    I also got my css to work although I had to do things that don't seem logical but who cares.

    Now, I have to remember about how to massage the urlfilter.ini. I had it going some months ago and it shouldn't be too hard ;)

    No objection, but still has page-rendering problems (e.g. FB Games)...

    I'm not surprised, it still has a lot of page rendering issues for most people. I think if their development team concentrated on fixing Opera's myriad little bugs & page issues, & less on introducing odd new concepts, it would be far more widely used. It seems to be perpetually in a beta state, & I'm still waiting for the release candidate. ;)

    That's one of the odd things about Opera &/or its extensions, sometimes it works perfectly where other browsers falter. o_O

    You can't have everything I suppose. Well, you probably could but you'd have to pay for it, & where's the fun in that? ;)
