moving browser

[akk]

It's official. After using a highly customized version of Firefox since it was at... version 0.7 I think, I'm now moving house browser. I've about had it with interfering addons, slow surf-times and it's occasional "let's forget the settings for that page" even on a fresh profile whenever I can't give it 50% of my RAM to play with.
After several trials, I'm now officially in the Opera fraction & happy with the fast surfing, the sleek interface (all glass themes... :))) ) and most of the clunky addon stuff being properly integrated into the main program. Including ad-blocking, and site-specific no-scriptiveness. Overall, a thumps-up.
It will still be a learning curve, but one I consider worth the effort. :)

...and now back to writing Seishiro & Subaru getting wet.

Hi! Drive-by-posting after checking out the "latest things". Just want to say one of the things I really like about Opera is that if I accidently close a tab I can go back into the trash icon on the side to retrieve it! It only works same-sessions but it's been handy.

Have fun!

:-) Thank you for the tip.

Actually, it's a recycling icon my installation and Firefox 3 also keeps a list of closed tabs and windows, but Opera just works faster. It's open with 20 tabs in about the time my FF loaded one tab, since I'm an impatient person that *is* a major selling point. :)
