Title: Opera 7 is out whoopee
Post by: nO-One on November 13, 2002, 07:59:24 AM: Yep, with a sleek new look and they seem to have fixed my biggest gripe with their browser....java pop ups never seemed to work.

I\'ve been using Opera 6.xx for a few weeks now, at first because IE was acting up on me but now simply because I greatly prefer it over IE. I\'m addicted to mouse gestures, the best thing ever in browsers. And Mozilla\'s mouse gesture plugin is far from as good as Opera\'s.

So I\'m pretty happy with this now :D

EDIT: My only gripe with Opera is the built in popup ad blocker doesn\'t allow javascript popups either.

Go into the preferences thingie, there you can select allow requested or something similar. Then it should work.

I love this browser. It opens so fast now, and it\'s even faster than what it was before. Hard to believe, really.

Post by: Dajona on November 14, 2002, 07:05:29 PM: The engine is very nice. It\'s a big improvement from Opera 6. It\'s very fast too.

I\'m sticking with Phoenix though. Pop-up blocking and whitelisting, toolbar customization, and menus that don\'t overwhelm you with useless options (like Mozilla and Opera seem to do).
