I fell for that too, they changed the default "alt ctrl t" to "alt J" !!?! for the transfers window, and 0 and 9 doesn't zoom in and out. Go to settings and change them all back in advanced and keyboard shortcuts... If you're not entirely sure i'll talk you through it for ya

My inline find doesn't work either annoyingly, not sure if its a bug or an ommision, i can't actually enable it in opera:config its gone!?

Still doesn't look like it will match Google browser sync unfortunately. Bookmarks is a good step, but GBS does my cookies and history as well. That speed dial page looks very swish though, I like that.

I'll give it a try, I used to flit between Opera and Firefox.

Damn, i'm going to convert you one day! Spell checker is on the way there is one called Aspell but i wont lie its not a patch on the FF and IE7 its not inline you have to run it and i think its clunky...
Opera's History/Bookmarks are saved in the roaming folder so i can't see why it wouldn't be easy to implememnt a similar thing for Opera but nobody has bothered yet (damn 1% of market share!)

Mouse gestures really tip the scale for me like sync does for daz, FF just can't get gestures as tightly integrated which is a shame. Once they become second nature you won't be able live without them and you'll be annoyed windows doesn't use them in its GUI explorer!

I agree with the bookmarks quote, also trying to select more than one bookmark to delete for instance without navigating to the webpage is a nightmare. Bookmarks and the whole Panel thing isn't very well thought out, needs sorting out really, not sure if that will happen though...


Pim, pimp, pimp. Tell me how you get on Feek, you should love it though

I've flirted with Opera over the years but personally I'm sticking with Firefox. RSS is handled by www.bloglines.com. Newsgroups I never use. Torrents are handled by my HTPC running Az 2.5. Mouse gestures I can live without. Bookmarks are synced with del.icio.us. My passwords are backed up into 1passwd which are then safe in Keychain and backed up into .Mac. Not to mention Greasemonkey for website addon scripts, Adblocking plugin, the webdev toolbar, EXIF plugin, and so on. Opera is a great browser, it is fast but for me it lacks certain things I'm now used to with Firefox extensions n stuff. How is adblocking on Opera? I've never got it to be as good as FF's Adblock extension. I do love an ad free web.

That's a point, the ability to simply right click an image and block it (ie adblock) is very important to me, is there anything like that and other fully automated ad removal tools supplied or available? I only realised a while ago that some of the websites I visit at home are full of adverts but they get stripped out by adblock.
