#1 I'm reading/writing this from Opera 9 now. Before version 8 it was almost there but not quite, but now it's just right. Get yourself some.

#2 Yup, Opera 9 works great for me dual boot on Arch Linux and Windows, I use one bookmark file for both.

Definitely the best browser going. Lightweight, many excellent features.

#3 FireFox die-hard here.

But I *LOVE* the Opera-man graphic. Thanks for the smile ya gave me.

#4 Works fine of Internet Explorer.

What is this "Opera"? Irrelevant!
Mac?--Irrelevant.
Liniux?--Irrelevant.

All will will be assimilated into the collecetive. Your computer will serve Gates of Borg.
Resistance is futile.

#6 My only concern with the Opera browser is that it might spontaneously uninstall if Fred puts his "fat lady singing" graphic into an article. I mean, when the fat lady sings, that means the Opera's over, right?

#9 Opera, not one full day out, already has a zero day exploit.
