    Opera web and e-mail application

    Just interested in what you, the kde user, thinks about Opera. Do you use it as your main web browser / e-mail reader. Do you prefer it to other web browsers. Or do you not like it because its not open source.

    I like Opera. A lot, actually. But I'm so invested in SeaMonkey I just stick with it. For one thing, I've customized SM in ways I wouldn't know how to do [if it's even possible] with Opera, such as colorizing its tabs. I've carried mail with me since the old Netscape days, through the Mozilla Suite days, and I like SM's mail and news clients so I stick with them.

      Hi all...

      Opera is a nice browser, however, I've had problems getting it to work correctly with some web pages in both Linux and Windows, (i.e.,web page buttons won't work.) In Kubuntu, if you're using the 64 bit version, you have to install the 64 bit version of Opera and the 64 bit version of Flash Player. When I first started using Kubuntu, I attempted to install the 32 bit version of Opera (by accident) and the installer wouldn't let me. Not sure why.

        I use Opera for one very specific reason, the Turbo or compressed network function.

        When I'm on a really slow network (~2-5KiB/s) it's often the only way to make contact with regular sites, Firefox will fail.

        Of course I can use Lynx and its ilk but that's rather sparse.

        For mail I can log in on the shell of my provider and use Pine or Mutt to read it but webmail via Opera Turbo is easier.

        Otherwise I have no use or specific liking for Opera, Firefox with Ghostery is fine.
