im gonna try this out, the main things that are keeping me away from opera is the way it loads the pages, the stupid sidebar, and the torrert integration.

edit : i like it more then the last time i tried it out, dosnt seem to load any faster then firefox to me. and some text mouseovers arnt working.

but its an alpha...

Network Timeout

The operation timed out when attempting to contact snapshot.opera.com.

The requested site did not respond to a connection request and the browser has stopped waiting for a reply.

* Could the server be experiencing high demand or a temporary outage? Try again later.

* Are you unable to browse other sites? Check the computer's network connection.

* Still having trouble? Consult your network administrator or Internet provider for assistance.

But will keep trying!! :)

Running on a 256k RAM machine, this is a godsend. Firefox would crawl to death with more than 20 tabs open. Opera somehow manages to handle them gracefully. And I can actually FEEL the difference in 9.50 compared to 9.2.

On better machines, the differences might not be as noticeable.

Does anyone still use that. :huh:

It's blazing fast, for sure, but there are some issues for me still:

1. The "windows standard" skin looks worse than ever in Vista and the default skin uses too many non standard graphics for my taste.

2. Still no inline spell check?

Nice alpha build but…

Really disappointed with many features are removed in this build (Kestrel branch).

- View bar

- Full shell context menu in transfers tab

- No more size in bytes and the content-type in the download dialog (lacks information)

- Missing tab shortcuts

+

- No improvements to RSS reader

- Smooth scrooling (I don’t like it in this build only)

Yeah, same problems as Darken here. I really use the view bar. I have ithidden with a button to activate it when I need. I know I can adjust it to a different bar, but what was the purpose of removing that bar? I say get rid of the start bar first personally :p

It is alpha though, so I am confident most of that stuff will be addressed :)

View bar ?? is it Start Bar in Appearance ?

I really love this alpha release :

Firstly: it displays Vietnamese smoothly ^^!

2- I like Synchronizing ( Think about make a step back with browser's bookmark ( no more del.icio.us ) )

3- Love search history through URL bar ( Which I wish in Opera forum ) . I use AutoComplete in Firefox and make a request in Opera forum. And they make it true. Thanks :)
