Opera deserves more recognition, spread the word folks! - syff, on 06/12/2008, -11/+149Finally! Hopefully this release will help the alternative browser's market share to grow even further.
I've been an eager beta tester, and I must say Opera 9.5 is a solid release - fast, safe, stable. And the new Quick Find feature is simply outstanding! - iSeeU, on 06/12/2008, -5/+103I've got to be hallucinating, it's damn fast!
- Jammerdelray, on 06/12/2008, -8/+93Finally a new theme, malware protection brings it inline with Firefox 3, speed inline with Firefox 3 and more. 2 solid browsers so hard to choose so I'm running both.
- dan1el, on 06/12/2008, -9/+88The new theme is sleek!
- bonjourmr, on 06/12/2008, -5/+72Opera is a standout browser, even if statistics say otherwise.
- NihilFist, on 06/12/2008, -3/+63I haven't used Opera for quite some time, and I must say that this new skin is awesome. I also love the "Paste and Go" feature that Opera has. I just might switch to this from Firefox...
Good job, Opera people. - Einar1975, on 06/12/2008, -7/+66Super fast, and this new skin is badass!
- Ciryon, on 06/12/2008, -4/+56Omg it's fast. Try it on a old machine and you will really feel the difference.
- tismondo, on 06/12/2008, -5/+54Love the new skin - love the new engine - love the new everything. Massive improvements, even over beta 2!
- sensor, on 06/12/2008, -4/+52Firefox fan here. I have to say that the new interface is pretty good.
- bungle8, on 06/12/2008, -1/+42+1 for standards compliant and modern browser. Although I use FF myself, I am more than happy to see a competition between GOOD web browsers! If only we could kill IE....(web developers' wet dream)
- ADuda, on 06/12/2008, -11/+52Yes! Go Opera!
- Canute, on 06/12/2008, -5/+45Am I the only one who, when surfing digg.com, needs to click the previous button 3 times before it actually goes back?
- springlake04, on 06/12/2008, -12/+52What each web browser runs like! ---
I.E. - A Ford Pinto "like crap"
FireFox - good! but simply a large Tank "a 110 pounds every plug-in added'
Safari - Kia - Sepia "crank windows and not enough features
Opera - A Lexus "a smooth ride with plenty of features in it's stock model!!!! - bonjourmr, on 06/12/2008, -2/+40The scrolling is the best I've seen!
- EJ902, on 06/12/2008, -2/+39Opera is completely free now, so there's no reason to judge them on their past endeavours. That being said I fail to see how them wanting to charge money for a product they've time and effort into producing is such a grave crime.
- schulte4e, on 06/12/2008, -1/+37It's really incredible fast! Digg never loaded so fast before. Fantastic job Opera team!
- StuartGibson, on 06/14/2009, -1/+36This should help. add http://ads1.msn.com/* to your blocked contents and it should fix it.

- Felonious, on 06/12/2008, -1/+34Paste and go and has been around for awhile now.
- Ramble, on 06/12/2008, -2/+34The speed isn't inline with Firefox 3, it's faster.
- Sokkratez, on 06/12/2008, -3/+33I love Opera. Syncing and Speed Dial is awesome :)
- Zounas, on 06/12/2008, -3/+29Right-click and... nevermind...
- apophis2k, on 06/12/2008, -3/+27Dragonfly is in there, dockable, much better than before. Loving it!
- commentbot, on 06/12/2008, -2/+26Perfect timing! Right before Firefox new release next week :)
Opera for the win! :) - johnnysaucepn, on 06/12/2008, -3/+27'Fading away' being code for 'doubling the number of users in the past year', yes?
- mossblaser, on 06/12/2008, -1/+23Internet explorer users like you are a cretin and a hindrance to web designers.
- WCL23, on 06/12/2008, -19/+41Opera is a good browser, but Firefox's extensibility will always give it the edge IMHO.
Well done to the Opera team on a great release :) - dan1el, on 06/12/2008, -3/+24Right click and select "Block content". Then click on the ads that you dont want to see.
In the advanced options, you can add urls with wildcards to prevent loading anything from that domain.
That would be: Tools --> Advanced -> Blocked Content... - Tamils, on 06/12/2008, -1/+22You can remove new tab button.
Right click on new tab button and click "Remove from toolbar". - RyomaNagare, on 06/12/2008, -4/+25Huge Opera fan here, good to know they finally released, the latest beta, and release candidate were really stable In my opinion.
Wish they wouldn't have rushed it though, the testing builds have been stuck at 83% on acid3 forever now.
About extensibility, Opera's got quite a bit of extensibility, you can download widget create custom searches, add custom webpanels, and also there are a fair bit of custom JS addons.
finally but not least, feature wise opera is light years ahead of firefox, everything is integrated and well thought. unlike having to fetch 5 different extensions, that might or might not work on firefox. - hirolau, on 06/12/2008, -3/+23The only thing I miss in Opera is the AmIonMySpace extension. Everything else I need is build in.
- arkansaw, on 06/12/2008, -1/+20And how long have you been living in the caves?
- arkansaw, on 06/12/2008, -2/+20Exactly, Firefox may be good competition, but that's not going to stop Opera from cutting IE down to size!
- ZeroDreams, on 06/12/2008, -2/+20oh man i literally was checking the opera page ever day for an update. i really like how fast this thing is. and the cached browsing is really good for sites like digg...
- sonusandhu, on 06/12/2008, -5/+22FANTASTIC.....
- ZeMeisterstuck, on 06/12/2008, -1/+17Fios + Opera: FTW
- jydesign, on 06/12/2008, -3/+19Nice new UI look, 'Opera Link' is an interesting new aspect. Opera is the best option on Mac for a true "Full Screen" mode browser as well.
- SlechtValk, on 06/12/2008, -1/+16I like your honesty about Opera although you may prefer Firefox...
- mrynit, on 06/12/2008, -4/+18Very true, however Opera comes with features that should be built into FireFox by now. some examples: fast forward/rewind buttons, thumbnail preview, ad blocking and short cut editing.
FireFox is better because it is open source and extendable with add ons. I enjoy the out-of-the-box usage of Opera and have hardly any need to use addons, thus why I use it. Of course there is always room for improvement for both browsers. - SlechtValk, on 06/12/2008, -7/+21The only thing that Opera lacks is the fact that it is not open source...
- itskrishnan, on 06/12/2008, -4/+18Download friends you will love it, and spread the word.
- exclipy, on 06/12/2008, -1/+14Right-click the New Tab button and press Remove From Toolbar?
- Dracker, on 06/12/2008, -0/+13http://www.fanboy.co.nz/adblock/opera/
It's not as robust as Adblock Plus's self-updating list, but it's a massive urlfilter.ini that will block about 95% of the ads right off the bat.
That said, I will concede that ad blocking is one strength Firefox has over Opera. - Inorix, on 06/12/2008, -4/+17Love quick find, god bless Opera! ;]
- johnnysaucepn, on 06/12/2008, -1/+14The Acid3 pass code wasn't ever going to make it into 9.5 - the changes needed to pass Acid3 just break too many real-world sites right now. They need to do a LOT of regression testing before including that. Wait for the snapshot releases of v10, Peregrine.
- Tamils, on 06/12/2008, -2/+15See http://my.opera.com/mitchman2/blog/show.dml/132479 & http://my.opera.com/Tamil/blog/show.dml/526801
- ortucis, on 06/12/2008, -4/+16WTF has a smart card to do with a desktop browser? Go away.
