so I upgraded to Opera 9.5

It crashes on Yahoo Mail Beta using -- err -- Vista

(It worked before I upgraded)

Anybody else having this problem?

(I mean Opera 9.5 crashing, not using Vista )

*let the flaming browser wars begin*

Just kidding...I haven't been able to test the latest versions because they didn't release 64-bit binaries for Linux. I will use it when I need two different sessions on a website at the same time, but I prefer Firefox with all the available extensions. I would take Opera over IE any day though.

Uhm, I've downloaded

Uhm, I've downloaded it...simply for web design purposes. I've never been a big fan of Opera for the simple reason that it seems so built up and a bit complex for me. I'm sure it's quite easy to get used to and be familiar with, but I think it's just my laziness getting the best of me. I personally use Firefox because I love the simplistic, light theme I have and everything I need to use is within my own lazy reach.

I'm probably not the best critic of web browsers because I don't use them as much as others and I'm not very critical of the things most people notice, but I think this version of Opera does seem much quicker in most cases (that was one major drawback for me before). I'm one of those people that uses a browser to visit websites. The end.

But I'm glad they are making improvements. I'm not a big fan of that dark theme though.
