Opera 10 Release Candidate is now available for download!
If you're new to Opera, and interested in added security or increased functionality, here's a couple of links/recommendations to get you started :- Opera Wiki (customization and tips) Custom buttons (e.g. javascript on/off ; open in IE or Firefox) FlashBlocker Fanboy's Adblocking list DropMyRights Some of these customisations require a little knowledge regarding the default locations of files etc. but none of it is difficult if you follow the instructions. Have fun! ![]() PS. When I wanted to use custom icons with my added custom buttons I found the info on this site very useful to get me started - http://www.aimwell.org/Help/Buttons/buttons.html Last edited by Sope; 28.

There are many more mods possible and plenty of advice out there regarding customisation once you start looking. I find Opera quite interesting in this regard. Having said that, I guess it's still unlikely to win over a Firefox devotee with a huge collection of extensions. Being an average home user, I find Opera has virtually all the features I need built in as standard, and with just a little bit of customisation I'm happy. The biggest plus for me is the built-in email client ![]() |

Firefox is my main browser, sure, but its not uncommon for me to have one or two other browsers running at least part of the day, usually Opera and Safari. I especially like Opera though. I love the paste and go feature - why the other browsers don't have that built in I don't know but I think they should. I like the way it handles downloads. I love the side panel, another one of those things I think all browsers need. ![]() |

![]() The other thing I can't live without in Opera is quick single click access to loading images. I'm on a really tight download limit so I generally have it set to load cached images only until I get somewhere I want them all to load and then CLICK, it's done ![]() |

I haven't been impressed with Opera and I have the latest, but not the beta10. There are many functions it doesn't have that FF gives me sadly. I shall be upgrading later just to check it out

Opera 10 final has been released. Opera 10.10 will be coming soon, which will include the Unite services, which makes Opera a web server too, to share files, chat, and other thing.
