Possible.
I think it sucks personally.

Safari, that is.
Safari was not that good before, but safari 4 is really good, it's fast, has good features, most good plugins that I use for firefox and has some really need stuff that other browsers don't. It's very stable to, but it's not as good on windows as it is on OS X, on os x it's absolutely the best browser, but on windows i'd use chrome or firefox 3,6alpha
Is there a specific reason why the Safari 4 installer is 25.5Mb? Seems pretty huge to me..
I'm using the latest full edition of Opera, so I'll see what this is like.
Nice, its way faster and I'm liking the new speed dial and other improvements
Opera gave me the shittiest DL speeds (Opera's peak 157MB/s vs FireFox 820MB/s). I'm actually liking Safari now since I've been using it for about a day now, it has cool features. It runs almost as fast as Firefox, and it gets a little bit faster DL speeds than Firefox. What I REALLY like about safari is the top sites page. That's just plain old handy, not to mention a spiffy looking feature.

You do know speed-dial is pretty much the same as top sites?
And about the DL speed, I doubt you got 820[B]MB[/B]/s, more likely 820[B]KB[/B]/s, and I have never heard of anyone that have had that problem, nor have I had it myself.
It's very strange.
Heh, I have 36 (ok ok) speed dial tabs in an older weekly build, haven't got round to making sure they'll stay so I can update to this version yet.
I just started using Opera because of this thread and I have to say thank you! Opera is awesome.
We're in beta now?
Yeeeesss.....

Yes, yes, yes. I meant KB, not MB.
Allright for those who haven't tried Opera before and need to know where everything is here is a little miniguide:
[B]Downloads:[/B]
Latest stable: [url]http://www.opera.com/browser/[/url]
Latest alpha/beta: [url]http://www.opera.com/browser/next/[/url]
[B]Various FF addons and features equivalent:[/B]
[B]Adblock:[/B] Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Content -> Blocked Content
Should look like this just with an empty list:
[img]http://imgkk.com/i/0vTYan3P.png[/img]
I understand it lacks compared to Adblock, but it does the job.
[B]Weave:[/B]
I heard about this nice little thing that syncs everything you've got in FF called Weave.
And Opera got a nice thing called Opera Link. Can be found at [url]http://www.opera.com/link/desktop/[/url]
[B]Greasemonkey:[/B]
Greasemonkey scripts are really just javascripts made specifically for Firefox, but most of them works in Opera too.
1: Create a folder called "user_js" this will be where to put javascript files.
2: Go to: Tools -> Preferences -> Content -> Javascript options -> And on the bottom press "Choose..."
3: Select the folder you created in step 1.
4: Put javascript files in the folder
5: Restart Opera
6: Win
[B]Opera stock features and it's uses:[/B]
[B]Speed-dial:[/B]
The default homepage in Opera. You can add a webpage to each of the thumbs, and if you update the speed dial page, all of them update.
Bookmarks remade! If you for example check alot of sites for news all the time you can add them there and see when they have updated, just by creating another tab pressing update.
[B]Mouse gestures:[/B]
If you right click and pull your mouse to the left, and then release Opera will go back.
Pulling it forward will make Opera go forward, Pulling it up and then rapidly down will update your page.
Pulling it down will create a new tab.
These are just some! For more: [url]http://www.opera.com/browser/tutorials/gestures/[/url]
Huge time saver!
[B]Turbo:[/B]
Compresses images to reduce loading speeds on slow connections. Great for mobile Internet and people with limits on the bandwidth (Can of course be turned off)!
Great if you are on for-example a slow, or capped connection!
[B]Preview tabs:[/B]
[img]http://imgkk.com/i/RMWb1ATo.png[/img]
Can be turned off, of course.
[B]Faster:[/B]
At least according to Peacekeeper
[B]Speel Checkarz:[/B]
In Opera 10 Alpha and Beta.
If there is something I should add, or something you want to ask about Opera. ASK ME!

Yeah.
Don't need this in the newest beta though.
Only thing that's buggy it's in YouTube. When I'm watching a video and I wanna see more info about the video I press "More info" -button. But it takes fucking long to show "more info" about the video and the same happens also the other way around.
I hope they will fix it.

Strange... now it works perfectly again... :raise:

Very weird.
I never had that problem...
And that it started working perfectly again.
Maybe YouTube was messing around.
Cool, thanks for the link!
One question though, does Opera still disconnect you from IRC chats if the chat is inactive for 5 minutes?
EDIT: Yeah, it still does that.
EDIT: Does anybody else notice that on Youtube, when you click the HD button, you have to stop the page from loading so that it'll go into the larger 16:9 mode.

I usually add &hd=1 to the end of the link anyways so that the video stutters less.
This is pretty cool, however I'm sticking to firefox because I can't live without adblock, is there an equivalent in opera?

Check the mini guide on this page.
[QUOTE=LooperNor;15360830]I think it's unnecessary now that 2 is tested.
I belive #3 will outperform it just as well.
[editline]01:17PM[/editline]
Oh well I tested it:

Oh god this thread looks horrible with Turbo on.[/QUOTE]
Try a WebKit nightly. Chrome 3 is constantly updated.

What about Adsweep plugin? It´s quite handy and if it misses some ad, you can always block it manually. [url]http://www.adsweep.org/[/url]
[QUOTE=Kybic;15432982]What about Adsweep plugin? [url]http://www.adsweep.org/[/url][/QUOTE]
Didn't know about that one, but obviously it should work.
However you can also of course use the built in blocker, showed in my post.
A new update released some hours ago, I don't know what was changed, except the icon itself.
Now it looks awesome, fitting for a seven taskbar :D
@OP, you're bullet points are messed up haha. I might try this new Opera. But I like my current 2 browsers.
I think Opera's interface is atrocious, which is keeping me from using it.

I don't like it. Also, it's harder to see when i got a new feed message or mail.
