Opera 12

[Nathan]

Is out, and it's great! Opera's still my favourite browser by far, and should be everyone's favourite browser for that matter, though as long as all the kids are using Chromerfox (this super lame amalgamation turns out to be an actual Firefox extension! The more you know...), I can't see that happening anytime soon - but it should.

Are you trying to force me to like Opera?

Pheh! Pales in comparison to wget.

When I'm feeling really lazy and modern I use Lynx.

Its too bad that Opera is closed source and has laid the foundation for an attempt at a data aggregation/hostage cloud play already. Opera is cool now, but if it actually got popular it would become scary, the same way Google is right now. We don't need more of those.

Of course, its still easy to turn the cloud thing off -- whew!

Thanks for the heads up, Nathan....I haven't checked out Opera in a long while.

I also found that I like opera-next. I hate to say it, but chrome seems to, on my systems, out perform everything else. However, I always feel nervous using it, feeling as if google is watching me. (Not even a joke these days.)

Seems as if they've made some improvements--more subjective for me.

Opensource purists can justifiably complain that it's not open.

As for the post about using Lynx--shucks, even dillo is getting harder to use these days. The web designer of today probably says, Standards? I SPIT on your standards. (I'm picturing John Cleese as the French guard in the Holy Grail). Take away your standards, or I will taunt you a second time.

Your standards smelt of elderberries!

I don't know about Chrome. It's fast, that's for sure, but:
- you can't change anything about the layout except theme the borders a bit,
- it tends to crash quite often,
- when you close the last tab, the entire browser closes (Opera keeps running by default),
- all this 'Google account' stuff is getting seriously out of hand.

I think Opera is the best web browser but I find some websites do not render properly. This is probably the fault of those sites rather than Opera but it nevetheless means I have to use Chrome sometimes.
