I've got Opera 7, but I'm not real impressed with it. I'm using Mozilla 1.3a right now.

Also using free browsers to further other mega-corporation aims. I'd rather support the little guy, thank you (and you get what you pay for )

Of course, I have a whole long theory about why supporting alterna-browsers is good for the web, but I think I"ve talked about that before.

I'm with Marc, Mozilla is my default, if Opera did go ad-free I would switch but can't see it happening. Mind you, wasn't Netscape fee based in the begining?

All I can say is I will NEVER pay for a browser when there are free, ad-free alternative available (Mozilla, IE).

That links feature is in v6 (maybe v5 too). It was more hidden though, tucked within the view pull-down.

Working on getting v7 now.

Now have 7 full version - seems the same as beta 2.

One new neat thing is a "links" panel on the hotlist, which just lists all the links on a page. Don't know how useful this will be, but it could be good for poorly desinged pages that don't make the links obvious enough.

I've got beta 2 right now at work. Some cool little ehnancements, and bug fixes etc. You can drag and drop any link now which can be a little annoying if you're not expecting it. As always, Opera's user interface features are far ahead of any other browser.

I don't understand why there's a problem with standards support -t here seems to be only a short list of exceptions from the specs

I've been using the beta version of Opera 7 for about two months now. Its actually quite a good broswer, but in the end I end up using internet explorer.
