[QUOTE=PunchedInFac;23705425]apng support.[/QUOTE] Crashing with APNGs. I'm getting so many PMs about my avatar, so I think this is a good place to tell people there's a way to stop it. Opera > Settings > Quick Preferences > Enable Animated Images Unless it crashes when they're trying to read this... :ohdear:
Search field in the address bar.
[QUOTE=Akasori;23729261]Search field in the address bar.[/QUOTE] I think I hate that the most. If i type yahoo without the .com part, i want the browser to automatically find yahoo.com and take me there, not bring up a google search result list for yahoo.com. :downs:

Just type in the goddamn domain suffix. It's not like all URLs end in ".com".
[QUOTE=butters757;23717950]I like how Chrome has separate processes for each tab/window, so if one crashes all the other tabs are still open.[/QUOTE] ^This
I don't know what is it called, but if you type the name of a website in the URL and hit tab, it will then search that website with the phrase you enter after. So if I wanted to check something on Wikipedia, I would just type wiki, hit tab then type what I wanted to search.

decent autoscroll is all that's keeping me from switching from firefox to something else [editline]07:13PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Maccabee;23720484]Incognito? It's called "Clear recent history".[/QUOTE] it's called ctrl+shift+p start private browsing

Firefox doesn't

This will be my favorite feature for whenever someone bothers to implement it: Stopping the page from auto-scrolling when loading images. It should get the size and just make a blank spot then fill in the image as it downloads.
I don't use Safari, but I've always loved its Activity feature
Can't pick. Speed dial, mouse gestures, 'block content', closed tabs trashcan, sessions, all the SPACE, or Turbo. It's good to be Opera. Only bad thing is those damn APNGs, and I can fix those by turning off animated images, blocking the picture and turning animated images back on.
Adblock, plugins that save any streaming media. By the way, is speedial just a gallery view of favorite pages? Because there's a add-on resembling the safari version that lets you view open tabs that way too.

You can give it a background and change the size, it's got a search bar near the top that you can set to Bing, Google, Yahoo, Ask, Amazon, and a bunch of other shit. I have my grid resized to 5x4. :iia:
Chrome's Omnibox!

I hate opening threads, and the page jumps around as more images load :frown:
Probably tabs. My web browsing experience has never been the same since I installed Firefox 5 years ago. Its not uncommon for me to have about 40 tabs open, across 2 PCs if I'm working on something.
I have that issue, I currently have 12 tabs open, when I go to school (stupid IE 6 with no tabs) it's so painful to browse..

Lots of red boxes though, and it doesn't work anywhere near for every image. I guess sometimes it can't know what size to use unless the image is fully loaded. Should definitely have the view jump along with the page stretch though. [editline]08:34PM[/editline] You can of course get around it completely (also in IE, dunno about others) by having the page not display until fully loaded. But that takes an assload of time.
For Opera its a tie between Speed Dial and it's amazingly quick loading times.

Tabs/Bookmark Toolbar
Chrome having seperate processes with tabs, and spell check. I'm not going to corect any of the speling I have wrong in this post, jsut to show you how much is realluy helps. I meen, I'm usually a really bad speller, but with spell check, it's a whole lot easier to nt mess up so much!

And if it isn't possible because of some technical reason, it should at the very least stop downloading images you've already scrolled past or download them in the background and then push the top of the page up to insert them.
