firefox was crashing like every 10 minutes and i didn't care to figure out what extension it was because i was just sick of it.

the only things i miss are downThemAll and multiple homepages (it doesn't support the pipe | yet) and a few greasemonkey mods (although i was surprised to see how many of them worked with opera's native user javascript - like the twwatwork script works, my gmail css skin works, ad filtering works through this as well)

otherwise, speed is excellent - i guess it comes with having all of the extension functionality i used to use as part of the program already but their user javascript is definitely not as slow as greasemonkey. i mean i might so the original site for a second before it's redrawn using the user javascripts but i really don't mind compared to the program being slow and crashing

Yeah, Opera rocks. I can't wait till Opera 9. Its going to have a built in Bittorrent client, WOOT!! I'll probably still use uTorrent though.

True, but the .NET framework makes it as simple as dropping the browser object and adding controls.
