10/25 Opera 9.5 beta is out, including the new link feature that allows you
to sync bookmarks across computers, including the mobile version.

\_ Why would anyone want to use Opera over FF? What features does
O provide that FF+extensions does not?
\_ I avoided using opera for really long time until recently when
I had to reinstall linux on my *old* laptop with only 384MB of
RAM. Just loading firefox (version 2, as the dist didn't
include 1.5) took up so much memory that it caused the system
to swap in and out constantly. Yeah, linux VM isn't the
greatest, but having a lightweight option is a good thing.
Opera 9.3 ran smoothly on it (as long as I didn't visit a flash
heavy site.)
\_ Hmmm, ok. Opera is good for low end machines, has less
bloat/features. I can see that. Thanks. |
