Opera more money? Says who? Mozilla probably has a lot more money than Opera ever had. They got huge donations from Sun, Nokia, Google, etc., after all. And make $70M in 2005 from Google searches alone.
Bear in mind, people, that this is not yet officially a final. So there could be a new version before they make it official. (that's why there is no changelog yet.)
Dude! Opera is great! I love it!!BUT! It doesn't corporate with other web2.0 productsWhat about google reader, digg, del.icio.usThe widgets are not that useful
Okay, here's my take: I definitely enjoy using Firefox and have been doing so for the last two years. I have constantly heard good reviews about Opera, and I have constantly tried it every time a new version comes out. I understand that Opera is more efficient, small, and powerful, but the only reason I haven't switched over the tab selection keyboard shortcut. In windows firefox, you can use Ctrl+1,2,3... to choose the tab you want. In Ubuntu, it's Alt+1,2,3. This is extremely helpful for me when I browse multiple forums, research multiple websites, etc... and need to quickly switch to each tab. On Opera, however, there is no such keyboard shortcut. All you can do is press 1 to go back one tab, and 2 to go forward tab. To be absolutely truthful, that is the only reason that I'm not switching over right now. I guess I'll stick with Firefox for now...
Saying that you don't use some software just because you don't like a keyboard shortcut is a very bold statement. It's the same as me saying I don't use FF because it doesn't have a "New Tab" button by default in the toolbar.

With Opera the bury button is bugged hehe :).It's still the best browser you can use right now.

I clicked on the update option in Opera and it downloaded version 9.1 for me. Maybe it only just started working.
