no more…

By the way, I need to recommend UITest.com’s "Site Check" which offers a web-based evaluation of a site’s accessibility, code quality, linking etc and thus saves a lot of time, too.

- No Slackware packages. Yeah, Firefox doesn’t either, but I can easily build it from source. I prefer to use only .tgz packages so that my system stays clean and programs are easy to uninstall. At the moment I am merely converting an .rpm to a .tgz and installing it that way.

- I would have to say goodbye to all of the extensions mentioned above. That would be hard for me to do. Maybe for Opera v10.0 the developers could make the browser Firefox extension compatible. Those Norwegian coders are capable of anything.

- Many of my plugins, specifically the MPlayer plugin, do not work in Opera.

- I know it sounds petty, but it is not exactly cheap either. At ~AU$50 for me, that is 50 good reasons to stick with what I already know and love. As much as I appreciate the work the Opera team does, it would really have to offer something substantial in order to justify that $50 leaving my back pocket

In saying all of that however, I do have v8.0b1 installed – annoying ads and all – and it really is a nice piece of work. You never know, maybe by 8.0final I might be persuaded to part with that $50.
