Opera rocks

I've had opera on my system for a while now, but I haven't used it due to the fact that my back/forward buttons on my mouse don't work in it. I didn't notice any negligible difference when I was on broadband between opera and ie, but now that I'm on dial up, I notice that Opera loads pages much faster. Anyone else notice this difference? Or is it just me?
 
I Installed OPERA about a month ago and us it maybe once a week. I'm just not used to the interface. Nutscrape is my browser of choice I just hate the way it crashes. As far as the dial up and page loading, I saw a major increase using opera. Then again that ain't saying to much because I know IE is faster at page loading then Nutscrape. I just can't bring myself to use IE. But I do like what I see in Opera just hard to swallow the $40 they want for it.

Just my 2 cents
 
I used Opera for about the last year since I was using a p200, the newer versions of IE and netscape just used too much system resources, and my crappy hsp winmodem was crawling. Once I switch to a hardware modem I didn't notice to large a difference between IE and opera. Netscape was still slower and more crash prone. Not to bash Netscape, I started using it in college and still like several features it has. I resisted IE for years (3 just blew, 4 was ok, 5 is good). Now I have winME and IE 5.5 is built in, I don't think I can remove it if I wanted to.

back to opera...

Are you using the new version of Opera? I had 3.xx and it was great for someone on a slow connection. The ability to turn off images in one window and while viewing images on other pages saved me hours of downloading eyecandy junk. The lack of plugin and mail support was annoying, and forced me to keep a second browser on my system. The small download size gives Opera a big advantage in terms of ease of install.
 
yeah i like opera too, im using 4.0 and it does load images faster at least it seems that way of me too.

Does anyone know of a site where I can veiw thier product info? Sounds nice. I've always used IE, have 5.5 now, but if this is faster, why not?
 
Ok, so I'm gonna try it, but not familar with "Java". Do I want to download with or w/o it? I'm on win98 with AMD 333 proc.

Thanks
