Opera browser

[indyrob]

I just switched browsers from firefox to Opera and I miss the built in spell check that firefox had.

Is there a plug-in for Opera to auto spell check?





I've already had to re-re-read my post to make sure there isn't any spelling errors dammit.

Who makes opera? Have you tried Google Chrome?

Haven't tried chrome, but looking over all the widgets from opera now. Some cool...sme are lame. I like the radio widgets on Opera.

I just downloaded opera to check it out, i would give it a C. Not bad in terms of user interface. I don't like not having the ability to have a bookmarks toolbar and it did a poor job of importing my bookmarks from firefox. I agree that the widgets are lame. I think i will stick with firefox, you should check out chrome too, it is not bad for a beta release.

I tried Opera some time back but didn't think much of it compared to Firefox.. I like the customisability of FF, my FF works for me I have it setup the way I want and its just not possible with any other browser out there.

I have Opera and love it. I use little to few widgets, so I've got no problem there. Only thing I care about a browser meself is speed and safety.

Yeah but the speed dial is pretty awesome. I'm still playing around with it and learning it pretty quick.

I'm sure there are some downsides to Opera, but I'm digging it so far.

speed dial? I obviously didn't give it enough of a chance to even see that feature. What is it exactly?

It's like a hot link to 9 of your favorite sites.

Gotcha, Chrome has the same thing as your opening page, it takes the six (i think) sites that you visit the most and does the speed dial thing with them when you open the browser, pretty cool, i will check out opera's now. I am also intrigued by the voice function.
