I've been using Opera for... 10 years? Ever since version 3.something. And I would never change back to anything else. If it doesn't work with a site (better: if a site is designed to keep Opera away) I just ignore that site.

i've got nothing against opera and i test the sites i make to be sure they work using it, but opera does interpret css rules differently from other browsers which means i have to make special conditional comments just for opera if i want the same appearance on all browsers. i would like opera much better if this were not the case. i will say though that it's much better than IE.

the only problem i have with gmail in opera (but it's enough to keep me from using it) is that when i click "open in new window" (which i frequently do, to have the mail i'm replying to in reference next to my reply), the "new window" cannot leave the inside of the current window if i slide it to the side, it will disappear under the edge of the original window. what in god's name is the point of that ??? i don't know what genius came up with that behavior but it drives me crazy.

I'm giving it a test drive..this may take a while, I've been using IE for so long. If this can keep everything separate on the USB drive I intend to use it. Wish me luck. (but if any problems with others on my PC using IE then it's gotta go. |

You can always right-click on the tab button (in the tab bar) and select "detach", that should create a new window at desktop level. Or you can go to Preferences > Advanced > Tabs > Additional tabs options and check "Open windows instead of tabs". Most things in Opera can be configured. |

the only trouble you may have using the portable version from a flash drive is it might be a bit slower, that is because reading from a flash drive can sometimes be slower than reading from an internal drive. since it's portable, why not try just copying it to a folder on your internal drive, if the slowness gets annoying ? it still won't be installed, and you can easily delete it if you want. but it should run a bit faster. and you can take a look at some of the extra features as well, like add-ons, on mozilla.org. just a question, what do you mean by painting ? |

i'm trying really hard to resist saying "i told you so !" hehehe... glad you like it. that's a feature i really appreciate as well. the painting is probably from browsing from a flash drive ; try placing the portable version on your hard drive to make it run faster.

I agree... just install it properly on the PC and don't make it the default browser. It will not conflict with the OS or IE in any way. BOb |

It works fine in IE6 and IE7. Maybe it's something not directly related to the browser?
BTW, I love IE7. Stop hurting my feelings, people! |
