So, any Opera users?

Basically, my belief is that browsers should be free. Why pay for something you can get for free? And those ad banners would bug the hell out of me after about 5 minutes.

What version do you have now?

Oh and I found out some other people in my school use Opera too, a big surprise, considering that everyone else I know either uses IE or Firefox.
Version 7.23
 
I tried Opera, I think starting with Opera version 3 or 4. I tried 5, 6, and 7, but never really took onto it. I tried Mozilla, Netscape, and a few others, and never really liked them either. I found Firefox, and absolutely love it. I probably won't try Opera again, so even if the next version is the best ever, I'll never know, unless Firefox starts sucking. That's too bad, because I really wanted to jump on the Opera bandwagon, but I just never could. I need my browser to be 100% reliable for work, and it just couldn't get there.
 
7.21 on Windows and Linux. Avoided it because I thought the adverts would be annoying, then my university put it on the public workstations and I gave it a go. Now I find myself doing mouse gestures if I ever have to use Mozilla or IE. And tabs. Can't live without tabs. (okay, Mozilla has them, but can you open new ones in the background by right cliking a link and making a tiny mouse movement?)

Occassionally breaks in Windows, but it offers to reload the last session when rerun and IE breaks in Windows anyway. Don't think it's broken in Linux yet. Unintentionally introducing my friends and family to it. (-What's that? -Opera, it's a web browser. -What? -Like internet explorer...
spot them using it a week later).

Actually, in Mozilla, you can set your middle-clik or two-button click to open a new tab.

BTW: Nice story about the family members & frineds :lol:

Useful to know, thanks.

Now if only OpenOffice spreadsheet was more stable I could get to work promoting that too.
 
I've been happy with 7.23 I've yet to try mozilla.
