yay, now if they could only fix the table problem on some pages (like tv.yahoo.com) and I'll be 95% happy. I still don't like some of its quirks, but it's my top browser right now.

very nice, Opera is a great browser, I hope this gets more people to switch away from IE. I still lean more twoards firefox (I'm not a big fan of QT). But Opera is a great browser.

how does one export Opera settings to another machine ? I took a good hour customizing it for this desktop and would like the same settings on my laptop.

EDIT>> figured it out, just copy the profile folder over along with the opera ini file.

does it have something like adblock for firefox? and I don't mean just pop-up blocking... adblock lets you hide image/flash urls that match user defined regexp

My elbow started hurting after 30 mins trying to use them.

The vast majority of their revenue comes from OEM markets like cell phones and PDAs. As far as I know, the desktop market wasn't a major source of income for them.

</just made that up because he is too busy to look up their financial records>

No, it is not.

yup, I use mouse gestures mostly for new page (tab), close page, go to top of page, bottom of page...

The only thing I can't figure out how to set up is go to next open page (tab). :( Anyone ?

BTW, don't forget about rocker:
hold left, click right to go forward a page (Opera actually goes forward a page you haven't visited (like page 2 in a thread :Q)
hold right, click left to go back

So much faster than hunting and clicking. Yes, FF had it too... but I switched to Opera for other reasons and love that they have it natively included.

It can be done in the configuration. My setup is right next tab, left previous tab, down close and up new window. You only need the slightest bit of movement for it to work. I can close ten pages in a second. :p

Can you tell me what your "Action" is for them ? I can't get it to work... the action I've set is "Page left" (for previous tab) and "Page right" (for next tab)... neither are working.
