I was very disappointed with the new Opera Scroll Marker feature. I was under the impression it was going to be something that saved the scroll position for pages so I could come back to the spot I was reading if I wanted to close a tab. Instead it turned out to be something that shows up on the screen while I'm scrolling to show me where the edge of the screen was before I started scrolling.

Other than some misc under the hood improvements, it doesn't look like there's much to get excited about with this release.

I am an Opera fan, but I use an Opera mod called Opera AC. It has lots of useful utilities. For me now it is a must. If you want to give a try you can find it in http://www.bit-center.ru

i dont see a 1% difference in the new opera
still downloaded it

It has many features. It adds synchronization of custom searches and typed history with Opera Link and several new features in Opera Mail, a nice preview page for feeds. It made improvements to the graphical user interface, display and scripting and also security enhancements. I think, it will compete with firefox and Google's new browser chrome.

I don't ... I am a bit of a FireFox Fanboy ...

Thanks for the link...Will check it now..

Thanks for the link.. i will check it

I love Opera, however I'm getting sick of sites that don't work with it. I used to think it was bad when sites only worked in IE6 rather than Firefox.

I must not be visiting the same sites other people visit, everything I visit works fine in Opera.

The only noticeable exception I've had is a strange bug where an invisible version of the top-right advertisement at dig.com drifts down over the "top in all topics" section causing me to inadvertantly click advertisements.

I don't really like Opera, if you double-click (which is a bad habit for me) it displays the right-click options (which really, really need to be removed). That's the only reason I don't use Opera. It isn't the best at rendering sites but its better than Internet Explorer I suppose. I haven't tried one of my sites in Opera yet so let's see how it turns out .
