Opera 10.10 Released

Nope.. I actually just made mine completely adfree (like adblock plus in FF). All you have to do is drop a simple .ini in a folder. You also have the ability to specifically pick what you want blocked easily via right click, block content, then click on what you want blocked.

I've also got my greasemonkey scripts working with it.

It's not -99 anymore

I've never used Opera and haven't had a reason to switch away from FF. Tried Chrome and that pretty well sucked ... so yea.

I had some issues with chrome too. Opera is pretty solid/smooth. I like to try things.. some people just like what they are used to/comfortable with though.

Chrome for me was just annoying because I didn't have my add-ons from Firefox that I liked (world clock, ad block, etc.). Then the tabs being at the top of the window kept getting in the way of my Rocket Dock.

Is Opera considerably faster than Firefox 3.6? Because if it is, maybe I'll try it on my EEE PC.

It feels faster. Scrolling is smoother. It's also completely customizable with regards to appearance. Every button on every bar (stick a linked favicon anywhere).

Man, Unite looks so sleek. Need to try it out when I get home.

It was discussed on DownloadSquad, and my god, the ignorance of some people. Don't comment on a browser you have no idea about. It just makes me angry.

Opera is faster than FF3.6 in some aspects and slower in others - but if you turn on Turbo, it's faster either way. It also uses less resources than FF.

I never saw the point in Visual tabs though. Kinda ugly and take up way too much space.

Well it must go there by default if you font have it installed then. The link in the op takes me to exactly what the images in the op show. Anyways try google.

I did google after I posted. Posting from 10.10 now. It's pretty quick, like you said, scrolling is smooth. It's all a matter of preference really. I notice maybe 0.2 second difference in loading pages. Mouse gestures are a nice feature to have, too. Could you link the adblock addons you have?

Here is how to do it.

"If you don't have urlfilter.ini file, create a text file with the following, place it inside profile and restart Opera."

You can use any list you would like.
