Opera 9.00 Final released

So I am curious as Pom and now OP like Opera a whole lot, what makes it better than Firefox? I used to be a big Opera user back in the day but then switched to Mozilla/Firefox. Please enlighten me how it is now better.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I only use flashget with IE. I've never found the Firefox plugin for flashget to be very good. It never let me do save all to flashget in FF. Why else would you use flashget besides resuming downloads and large file downloads?

Also, the idea of having bittorrent integrated into a browser is pretty lol since bittorrent sucks up most of your bandwidth therefore nullifying your ability to browse. At least it does on my shitty DSL connection over here. Not like anyone would use that thing over a good client like BitLord, Azureus, or µTorrent.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, I just went and upgraded my Opera. I completely forgot I even had it on my system. Anyway, yeah gifs still play way too slow in Opera. It's ridiculous. If they'd just fix that I'd use it a lot more. This confuses me greatly because I know Pom loves gif threads so I'm unsure of how he puts up with it.

Double Post:
Also, I've noticed that the thumbnails aren't live. If I scroll up in one of them then go to another tab it will still show the thumbnail of where I was when I first viewed a thumbnail of that tab. Kind of a bummer.

Most amazing jew boots

Yeah, that or Firefox plays them too fast which I don't think is the case.

Oh here's a question. Let's say I open a whole mess of tabs. I'm currently viewing the first one. Then I click on tab, oh say tab 26. I then decide to close tab 26. It then makes me go all the way back to the first tab. When I close tab 26 I want it to go to the next tab which would be tab 25. This is what Firefox always does. How do I make Opera do this?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Well, I always open tabs in the background. Here's a scenario:

1st tab: User CP
2nd tab through 9th: threads I subscribe to that I've opened via User CP in 1st tab.

I then go and read tab 9. When I'm done I'll close it. It goes back to the first tab which is annoying as fuck. I want it to go to tab 8. So now instead of my usual way of safely closing the current tab I'm on assuring I am done with it and gotten what I've needed I now have to click on the tab next door and risk missing something should I accidently misclick 2 tabs over and not noticing (and when you get a lot of tabs this will happen) and when I think I'm through massively close all the tabs. That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I can see the use of the current style of going to the last viewed tab but it should be an option.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Heh, I forgot about that feature. Good ol' ctrl+Tab. However that doesn't solve my current dilemma. You're right that it is a habit but it's one that really works for me and both Firefox and IE7 Beta 2 do. That leaves Opera as the odd man out. That's not really in its favor because I'm guessing most Firefox users browse their tabs similarly in the fashion that I do.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Opening a ton of links on imageboards. Opening tons of threads. You can use new tabs for these and many more reasons and have a shit ton of tabs open. There are reasons.

FELIPE NO

Yeah, if Opera had an option for Firefox tab closing order and good support for gif animation then I might use it. I just can't see that happening until those things are fixed.

I'll definitely use it for Wii though. =)

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
