A real nice browser, but it does have some downloading problems.

Think Tuesday!

We all know how much opera loves releasing new versions on tuesdays, and if I had to bet on it, I would go with that. I also expect that on Monday it will be on the ftp site, man the suspense is killing me!:D

Who Cares??

Who cares??

If the new Opera is as bad as the version 7 and 8, I won't be using it.

Opera 6.03, 6.04 and 6.06 were great, better than any other browser in the world. But now the graphics and User Interface are so bad that Opera is becoming easily as bad as Navigator or Mozilla or FireFox or any number of other sorry browsers on the market.

Internet Explorer may eventually end up being the best browser around.

What a shame!!

Opera's interface is what you make it! You can download the opera 6 skin, then change the interface to be exactly the same. The attachment is indeed opera 8.5!

Opera 4 ever.

I like opera 8's UI, it's perfect for me in every aspect. I don't want a whole new UI because im afraid i might not like it. =/
