Opera already knocks IE and firefox into a cocked hat. This update will increase it's superiority.

beta... I will wait for full version like ratbag... I use it EXCLUSIVELY, I don't even have ffox installed. I use IE, never. So I can't be using PRs all around

I tried out opera once and I found its interface to be cluttered and it just seemed like a bulky program. Besides with all the extensions firefox has does opera really have many if any advantages?

opera... bulky... does not compute

firefox seems way more bulky to me, i guess its the way you approach and understand it.

Does it have an equivalent to the adblock extension? Yes I'm aware it does block pop-ups but what about blocking ads?
