Default Falling in love with Opera all over again
I am playing with Opera 7.11 and I am in love. I gave up on Opera back at version 4 because even though I loved the interface, it had issues I couldn't ignore. This latest version solved all the old problems.

I don't know how I ever lived without mouse gestures! They make surfing so much easier that it's not funny. It's sort of like when the scrolling wheel first came out. Once I got used to it, I hated mice without a scroll wheel.

I even made the jump to making Opera my default browser and replaced the IE icon on my XP start menu with Opera. Life is good.

One thing I noticed is that there is a debug stylesheet that is really helpful for showing screwed up tables when I am working on my board or other sites.

I miss Roboform though Opera's built in form-filler isn't quite as good. Roboform was wonderful for creating new accounts at sites because I was able to configure it with my default password of choice.

I haven't been able to get into Mozilla. This is a sad thing because O'Reilly sent me a book to review on developing applications for Mozilla, and I just cannot seem to get into it.

Now, the New Rider book on speeding up web sites is a much more fun read and they should have their review soon

Can't you turn of the forum filler in Opera and still use Roboform, or doesn't it work with Opera? You could still load it with Windows and do it manually using Roboform, couldn't you? I would die without Roboform.

Roboform doesn't work with Opera yet. Only with IE.

Avant Browser is the best hands down. 99.9% of anything that works with IE will work with it, and it has tabs, mouse gestures, built-in popup killer (a pretty damned good one at that) and more. Also, anything that should open in a new window opens in a new tab, so it won't clutter the taskbar.

So, BOOYA!
