*orgasms violently*
I think I will attempt to modify the beta 2 ebuild to make one for it. |

YAY!
Good to see they didn't give in to the firefox craze.
Though unfortunately, bloat keeps creeping into it, moving it ever closer to ex-best browser in the world. _________________ Please put [SOLVED] in your topic if you are a moron. |

It works fine, just modify the first couple lines.
Bloat? Well, at first it may seem so, but just customize it enough, use the -nomail flag, and most importantly disable flash (opera's biggest weakness in linux)... _________________ Non fa male! Non fa male! |

Is the site not working properly for anyone else? Specifically the mirrors... ALL of them? |

The reason the site and mirrors are down is because there was a post on slashdot about the release. |

The only thing it currently has which I truly believe is overkill, is the IRC client. What else are you referring to?

Bloat?
Just lots of nice features crammed inside a few megabytes.
Bloat must be an application each for RSS, email, browsing and IRC... _________________ Scoody. |

I'm your opinion. Why using an additional mailing application when you can simply have two things in one?
I've just discovered the great features of Opera, and I'll maybe buy it, too. _________________ e17 documentation | Be free and use Jabber as your IM! | Combine IRC and IM |

The one you made for 8b3 worked wonderfully. However, this one seems to no longer have the Manifest file, leading to complications such as:
!!! Security Violation: A file exists that is not in the manifest.
!!! File: files/digest-opera-8.00
Thanks for any insight. |

I'm not saying Opera is bloated, but I think they are on the road to getting it so.
And while all the non-browser stuff is nice, IMO none is quite on par with alternative programs.
M2 for example has very limited contact handling (LDAP? vcards?) and the IRC client is ridiculous.
The should concentrate on making the best browser in the word again instead of another mozilla suite. Firefox with all the cool extensions is very hard competition. _________________ Please put [SOLVED] in your topic if you are a moron. |

For IRC, I agree, I would rather use feature rich dedicated clients for that. I personally like the browser, the mail client, and the RSS support. |

Not trying to say anything, just a fact: I read a post from an opera developer on their forums which stated that they're IRC client is less 40k...
Anyway, to disable it, -nomail flag (I don't think you can have one and not the other...) _________________ Non fa male! Non fa male! |

I noticed pretty long starting time with this version.
strace showed that opera spends a lot of time reading (indexing(?)) all the files in ~/.opera/cache.
Setting disk cache from 100MB to 20MB speeds this up considerably. _________________ Please put [SOLVED] in your topic if you are a moron. |

Can anyone please show us some screenshots ?
I remember I tried version 7 but I didn't like it (maybe because I'm using mozilla in all my net live so it was hard for me to get used to it)
Anyway can anyone tell me what is the **really** best 5 things in Opera ? (I don't want to say it's bad, I just want to see if I will get something from it if I switch from Mozilla/Firefox)
Thanks _________________ Gentoo is the best |
