And after a time, just can't take it anymore. Where have all the good designers gone? The only thing Opera has (in aggregate) over FF or others is it is very stable - still not perfectly stable. FF crashes all the time, probably because it is so feature rich and the massive development is not well controlled (well?) A small view of my issues with Opera: 1. Miminal help on the Web. People who use Opera seem not to be detail oriented. sorry. 2. I can't drag & drop urls to the desktop or to anywhere in XP. 3. Tabs are unusable. Can't control them. I click and nothing happens. Then Oooops! it works! I open in a new tab, the page loads but there is no tab. Can't close the window, can't figure out where the tab is. click click click on tabs and nothing. Many times only the first few tabs show but the blank area to the right can be clicked and you can get the differnt pages. Should have learned the violin! (no frets, no seeing) - I could go on, but the tabs are pretty unusable. Why? No idea. I have Opera 9.64, XP sp3, 4gig ram, 3.5mhz processor - dual 24" Dell flat panels. Incredible dual HDMI head GForce graphics card. I used FF for many years. If it had the stability of Opera I'd be a happy camper. FF is so feature rich -a great add-in community. It could use some nice features that are in Opera but visa versa too. a wash. (awash?) I often have 15 tabs open in each of 6 or so windows. Of course each browser has great features and missing other essential features. It would be nice if they looked at the other browsers and took notes. IE, as anything from MS, is only as good as competition forces it to be. & once it has enough dominant market share, they no longer care about what they offer. Only for cultists. I keep trying Opera. And after a time, just can’t take it anymore. Where have all the good designers gone?

I actually started doing that from linux, i dont remember witch wm it was from, but i am guessing its been around for a while now. One solution could be to put your taskbar like that, and not use any tabs within the browser. I have been using opera for a long time, and it is a very fast browser. As long as you dont have that many tabs open, or the site youre in doesn't have to load from images from lot of domains. You can fine tune opera, but firefox is much more rich in addons. I recomend Opera on any mobile or low power operating system, its just an amazing browser. But if you have to fine tune it, its not my pick for the browser of the day. well i gotta tell you, ive used the taskbar like that for the longest.

The shortcuts are very useful too. There are many people who like Opera than IE or FF. I was never a fan of Firefox. FF is boring - Nothing new. el mismo,
