    Does it support opera's email?

  2. Review - Opera for Windows

    If you've got rendering problems, why don't you go ahead and file a bug report over at https://bugs.opera.com/wizard/ . Couldn't hurt to let the devs know what's wrong, right?

  3. Comment - Opera: Browser Downloads Surging

    9.0 Build 8031 Technology Preview 1 (Oct 5, 2005 - 8:58 PM)

    A Perfect browser is relative. For me, Opera is perfect, as I'm looking for a web suite that runs on my soviet era laptop (five years old). Firefox takes too much mem, and Maxthon, well, I use it for Writely, but not much else.

    "Adhere to standards"? You've got to be joking. Actual standards, like W3C, or made up Microsoft ones?

    it's simple in that it's pretty much featureless. That's fine that FF can make so much money through donations and underwriters (Google, IBM). But I want a program run by one company, not subsidized by many.

    For your information, Firefox doesn't make ANY money, except through tech support (where a phone call will cost you as much as registering Opera), they're handed money by the users.

    Just because it's simple doesn't mean it won't do well as far as browsing shares are concerned. IE is simple (waaaay to simple), and look at how well it's doing.

    Opera is a bit more honest in this regard, it doesn't ask, it tells you that it needs money up front.

    ad supported, yes. But you know, some companies have to make money, and can't get money just handed to them for a simple product. And yes, firefox is a very simple product, it's the extensions that make it worth anything.

    What's wrong with selling an excellent product. Microsoft does it, right? Oh, you must be one of "those" people.

    You can't get everything for free, I hope you realize that before you starve.
