MDI = Multiple document interface

Old versions of Office apps used to be true MDI, but Microsoft dumped that idea circa Office 2000.

There you go Feek

It's not insanely exciting reading though

. So try opera now, you don't have much of an excuse now mwahaha.

Will it sync my cookies and history as well? Only really mentions bookmarks there.

I'm assuming it does history, because i think it just copies the profiles basically, which include your history i think. I dont actually care i dont need it, just thought if you're bored and want to try opera there is more reason to do so now... Report back if it works too

I could use it between my home PC and laptop (not a major problem for me though).

I like firefox. Only thing that bugs me is the individual 'x' close tab buttons used to be on the right hand side, now they're on individual tabs. I don't like that, but everything else I like.

Safari is rubbish, bugs me.

I literally haven't used Opera in about 8 or maybe 10 years though. Maybe I should give it a crack. As it were.

Mouse gestures in opera means you dont reach for the 'X'.

You can middle click links (same goes for FF btw

)
Shift and left click links (possibly the same for FF)
Or
Hold the right mouse button down and draw an "L" - Which is whay i use all the time, once you use the integrated mouse gestures you (should) fall in love.

Going back/forward refreshing opening a duplicate page, cloing pages, password manager etc... All integrated into Opera and can be access via mouse gestures

Same here. I used opera years ago but now I figure 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' and I'm perfectly happy with Firefox.

And mouse gestures are useless for me

I never used them last time I had Opera and iirc I could set up my mouse for mouse gestures (Rings a bell at least) and it's never interested in me in the slightest.

I can't believe you don't like mouse gestures. They are so efficient, i wish windows used them

Mark · 13-05-2007, 17:49

I don't like using a mouse, never mind mouse gestures.
