hehe KRL is like the Opera Update Watchdog... Thx, I just updated =)

This version is incredibly faster than previous ones. Don't know what they put in the gas tank, but now its flying.

I may have to give it a try:thumbsup

man i won't be able to tell... i have a crappy 256k in Bangkok, now im on a speeding fast cable modem and my jaw just sits here dropped watching thumbnailed tgp pages load like they are cached =)

americans are so spoiled... i'd give my left nut for speeds like this in BKK

A lot of Security Vulnerabilities in the so-called "more secure browser" found :glugglug :glugglug

Thanks,,,perfect for my pIII 500:glugglug :glugglug :thumbsup

Opera is rapidely becoming an aggressive competitor to IE!

Several years ago (when netscape was still the number one browser on the Internet), IE took over because it was:

- Faster
- More compatible
- Distributed in every machine

Opera is going up rapidely, because of the same reasons!

They just need to strike a deal with google now, to be the official browser of their new OS!

The difference being they jump on any vulnerabilities instantly and get a fix out quick.

Ultimately we all know no system is 100% invincible. :glugglug

Nice....and damn fast !

How is the speed compared to Firefox?

I was a huge opera user until the third or so release back. I'd have a few tgp pages, some gfy pages and some news open and the thing would crash. Does it do that now?

I've been switching to Firefox a lot more recently since it works with most websites that Opera doesn't. For example, you can't use Gmail with Opera.

thanks.. updating now :winkwink:
