New Opera version


Just downloaded Opera 7.5 and I have to say it is much faster than 7.
I usually use mozilla but for some reason mozilla takes so long to DL files and is slow to load pages that Opera loads very fast with the cache setup the same.

Just now?
It's been out for a few days already.
But agreed : It *is* faster than 7.23(start-up , rendering pages , etc) , but I also found , it's pretty quirky with download-links;Too often , the file to DL is exposed as a field of garbled text in the browser and I have to right-click and "save target as"....

Opera is good but for some webpages it is messy while Mozilla rocks. But Mozilla is bloated like hell. So I think Firefox is between Mozilla and Opera. You can tweak up Firefox like Opera but you are not messy for some webpages.

Ok, try browsing with Opera and Mozilla for this webpages and move around your pointer in upper left area of this webpage:

You will understand me.......

Happy browsing.

Uhmmmm....
No.
I see nothing wrong there in Opera;just a link to their homepage.
Since I don't have Mozilla installed on my pc anymore , I can't check that.

I dont see anything wrong with the page loaded in either browser?

Opera is way faster than Mozilla. Maybe its just my system But Mozilla does have several features that I like that Opera does not.

Oh yea and Opera does not show my home page correctly for some reason, The darn pics are all misplaced on the page. http://www.freewebs.com/yellowbajabug/

You see that part. With Opera try to move around on that links. It is a little bit messy. It will be different if you are using Mozilla.

Ok, I see what your saying.
Opera leaves some kind of highlighting on the link text after its had focus.
Looks kind of scrambled.
