Opera 9.50 Alpha

Usha Starchild · 09-04-2007, 11:14 PM

This Browser kicks some serious ass, it destroys all other browsers speed wise. It has some of the coolest features ever. Speed dial, the new history feature etc.

Opera Browser 9.5 Alpha release

People are saying nothing but awsome things about it on DIGG.
Digg - Opera 9.50 Alpha released!

Speed testing done
Digg - Browser speed tests, Opera 9.5 Alpha included

Anyway, it kicks ass for Alpha.

I've been using Firefox. This is solid. I'm not some kind of browser connosieur, but I found how to change some things with Opera quickly, which I was unable to do in Firefox.

edit-ok. weirdness ensues. In opera I see a WoW banner at the bottom of the site, advertising monkeys and bananas. In Firefox I don't have that banner, but I do have the cool interactive stuff up top of the forums with recent posts and the Uberguilds.org promo. I don't have the interactive deal in Opera, and I rather like it. Is this something on my end or them picking and choosing which kinds of HTML to support?

No wonder everyone says use Opera. It's already on version 9.5 and FF hasn't even gotten to 3.0 yet.

Seems pretty sweet. Is there a way to combine the address bar and the other options into the same bar, just like I have in Firefox currently? This is what I'd like:

Lookup adblock for opera on google. Then look for urlfilter.ini for a good list, some zewzealand guy has a rad list and its tops on google.

Opera has lots of custom skins.

Agraza · 09-05-2007, 12:12 AM

Adblock would make sense about the monkey banner. I don't pay much attention to these things.

Jabberwhacky · 09-05-2007, 12:48 AM

Sorry I think I didn't convey myself properly. I didn't mean to avoid the ad (although I do have adblock and it does still show that shit, what's the deal there?). I meant to combine the "File Edit View History" etc with the back/forward buttons AND the address bar, all on one line. Currently in opera, it has File Edit View Bookmarks Widgets Tools Help and then the rest of the entire line is empty. I want to move up the next line (consisting of back/forward/refresh and the address bar itself) onto that empty space. That's what I was trying to show in the picture.

^ Download a skin, alot of them do what you want.

I downloaded it and found it to be a slick program. Unfortunately, I do not see myself using it. I have Firefox set up exactly the way I need it with its assorted addons, greasemonkey scripts, and so forth. Weening myself off of Firefox to learn the nuances of a new browser is something I don't feel a pressing need for at this point. On the otherhand if Kestrel has some jesusgood feature that I don't know about and can't replicate...

Just downloaded it... man it's seriously fast as hell at loading webpages. I think I'm hooked.

Where does one find skins? Google failed me and I didn't find any section of their forums that seemed to include skins.

Opera Skins

wasn't that hard either, just searched their KB for "skins" and presto

edit: after looking at a few of the skins on there, most look retardedly crowded tbh.
