  great,but..............

  by: sw_tester on 01-May-2008 12:44:42 AM

  Pros: Love this browser. The features i like most are speed dial, speech, fast loading, downloader.

  Cons: Few but critical bugs. First of all, the browser freezes way too often on my vista, i have to shutdown the process opera.exe and restart it every time. sometimes i have to shutdown omputer itself-quite bad there. Secondly , it does not have a back button to go back to-not the previous but some 10th page preceeding the current page-nowadays all browsers have that button-that button is very important; opera is missing it. Thirdly i would love if there were more than 9 speed dials because unlike on a telephone its possible on a computer. Fourth, i donno how or why we must create different profiles to use it as different users. the browser must install itself to every user on a computer + install shortcuts by itself to every user. that is what other (even non-browser) programs do. having to create profiles is laborious not to mention an unwanted headache.

  Very good, as usual

  by: tashfeen_m on 28-Apr-2008 03:01:11 PM

  Pros: I would honestly rate this as better or at least as good as the upcoming FF. But I must admit. Fantastic.

  Cons: Opera has its own feel, but I think trying to tone it down a little (I'm thinking of FF's clean looks here) would win it more admirers.
