Bleh, 10.5 is nice but I'm going back to 9.x, it's not stable enough for my taste.

After using Opera for 2 days I'm back to Firefox.

Opera Pros:
- looks amazing and is space efficient
- feels faster and lighter than Firefox
- good features out of the box

Cons:
- no adblock, and the hosts file adblock sucks (doesn't work as good)
- some websites just don't work right and that annoys the hell out of me
- I had some problems with bookmarks
- I often had to reenter my password on some sites, even though I saved them, annoying.

I can't live with these Cons so it's back to good old FF to me. Only things I really miss are native speed dial and the cool UI.

I checked the link and the amount of entitlement-based whining is staggering.

"I like to look at your site without ads! Since you complained about it, I'll leave!"

"You should be able to run the site entirely off of donations!"

If you don't subscribe and you don't look at the ads, you use their server bandwidth and give them absolutely nothing in return and they would actually prefer that you leave and never come back.

Christ people are stupid.

Who cares how they make their money, the less inconvenient my time on their site is, the more I'll use it; therefore I give them more hits, which feeds their bandwidth budget from advertisement. Win win if you ask me. Just look at teamliquid even... This site has very few ads and 90 per cent of the people here don't donate or give back anything. Seems like everything is doing ok though.

Anyway, I love Opera in all ways but one above Firefox. I don't like how java doesn't work half of the time. An example would be chess.com and their live feature. Oh well, I still use it.
