new features

-fit page contents to window width - good for ATOT, where people never bother to resize their pics
-a little icon on bottom right of page gives instant access to pages you have closed, and pop-ups that have been blocked.
-can now block pop-ups selectively (only block unwanted etc.)
-passwords can now be remembered for an entire server as well as individual pages. Good for sites like Yahoo where you enter the same password on many different pages.
-sleeker interface. Fewer buttons on the default setup. Buttons have been hidden away, with quick access by clicking on address bar or the eye icon.
-maintains a top 10 of your most frequently visited sites.
-now has speech recognition for commands like "Opera back" or "Opera scroll down". I haven't tried this yet. I need to get me a tiny microphone.
-lots of other tiny, but great, features. Like when you hit quote or reply to a page on AT forums, the reply window maximizes with the address bar hidden, so you get more room for your response.
-scrolling a web page seems much faster and smoother than in 7.23 and 7.5
-pages seem to load quicker than in 7.23 and 7.5.
-tabbed windows now have the firefox style close boxes on each tab.
-it seems somewhat faster than Firefox, & takes up less memory.

Haha. Nik of course has to say it. Maybe I'll give Opera a try one of these days. I was using Firefox when it was called Firebird (saw some poll and most people preferred it over Opera) so I never gave Opera a shot. I really like Firefox though. Hmm...

What an angry frustrated person you must be. Let me guess, your weight issues are "hormonal" and have absolutely nothing to do with what you're stuffing in your mouth.


Still dosen't change the fact that after over 2k posts you don't know what off topic means.

Nik has his own issues to deal with (obesity, anger management).

My post has ATOT content, I think posting it here is OK.

What does your assumption about my weight have to do with anything? Do you even know what the fvck I look like? Probably not!

I'm not name-calling, I'm encouraging him to deal with his weight and anger issues in a more productive way. Can't change it if you don't acknowledge it.

Here's an issue you can deal with: still the wrong forum.

Attempting to point out other's flaws when presented with the above fact is simply asinine.

Your deep denial re: your weight issues is not amusing to me, rather it is sad.

Since you seem to know so much about me, how tall am I? How much do I weight? How much of that is fat? How much of that is muscle? And, most importantly, what does it actually matter since your reading comprehension level disallows you even the most simple of understanding about what threads go in what forums?

My post contains ATOT content, and I'd argue I am justified in posting it here.

No, you don't understand, I am not here to point out Nik's many, many flaws, I "merely" want to see him get the help he so desperately needs.

I must admit in reading such a comment I am deeply concerned regarding your mental health. It is rather obvious you are suffering from a delusional episode (or far worse), and clearly require the skill of a mental professional.

Please seek out such aid as soon as possible.

I got one suggestion for you: quit trying to sound like a smartass in every thread.
