1. Comment - Opera Browser to be Included in Wii

   Using widgets regardless of the overhead is still using resources. Widgets are not resourceless :P , opera's widgets can replace some extensions like forcastfox for example.
   
   Opera has many more capabilities widgets wise, Opera can use canvas(manipulate images, create games like tetris),svg,css,js,images,flash for more effects than other widgets programs.
   
   Besides Opera has a lot of customisability in it regardless of it not supporting extensions, you can mess about with menu files, have singular bookmarks on almost any toolbar you want (bookmarklets like a js dom inspector etc or to call a function from a userjs(opera's version of greasemonkey) file). Things like IETab can be done in opera with a bit of configuration, and other things like entering BBCode into forum posts.
   
   Just saying Opera itself isn't as limitied in being able to have some new functionality as some might think.

   @PC_Tool
   
   I could ask you the same question.. what do extensions have to do with browsing the web?
   Opera's adfiltering method atm is a bit crap i agree there but i think opera's way of blocking parts of the page is more convinient that right click >> block,in adblock, opera's method is better with many ads on a page, plus it works better with flash(you can click anywhere on the flash not just a specified placeholder).
   By the way you can hide opera to the tray(ctrl h) and have no tabs open etc so widgets would still be around without opera task in taskbar.

   http://nontroppo.org/wiki/opera is probably one of the most perfect places to start trying opera from, buttons, bookmarklets, tips, draggable searches, making an adblock like system etc great place to start.

   Opera 9 (in beta) has something called block content, right click page >> block content and s***-click(click covers a bit much) the ad images/flash and click done :)
   
   Opera 9 also has something called widgets(web-pages with no chrome), which touchtheSky widget compliments Forcastfox pretty well.

   You do know what the difference between adware and spyware right? Adware is usually software that contains advertisements.. usually intergrated into the user interface, spyware is much more sinister, its programs that run in the background, which can monitor anything from browsing habits to grabbing your passwords and personal data. By the way the advertisements that were within Opera's User Interface would'nt harm the PC anyway, it doesnt use dreaded IE's trident engine to display it. And by the way all browsers allow use of 3rd party cookies and have the option to disable them. So we should call all internet browsers spyware? Idiot.
