Hot: Admittedly, I’m an Internet n00b (does anyone even say that anymore?) Sure, I was chatting away with the best of ‘em on AOL in 1995, but it’s only within the last year (since I began work at an internet marketing company) that I’ve thought to embrace any browser other than Internet Explorer, any email [...]
Hot: I realize that everyone’s probably already sick to death of hearing about Chrome, but I thought I’d chime in anyway. Here’s a memory usage shot of Chrome versus Opera. Click the image to see the big picture It’s not really a fair comparison, as the same things aren’t open, but I realized that with [...]
Hot: I have noticed that on two perfectly functional laptops (running Windows XP Pro) that when using Digg, Opera 9.27 crashes. Not just a hangup, or a page malfunction, but a full on Windows application error which forces me to end the process and restart the browser altogether. Having using Digg a fair amount in [...]
Hot: As an Opera desktop edition user, I am part of a browsing minority. I started using Opera years ago, back when they still had banner ads to support their desktop offering. Some friends recommended it to me as a browsing alternative, if I recall correctly. I was getting sick of IE, and all the [...]
Hot: Perusing my feeds I saw a link to an article that Opera does in fact pass the Acid 3 test. I was pretty stoked to hear that, since I was pretty sure when I ran my copy of 9.26 and 9.5 through the test, neither one passed or even approached passing. (9.5 was closer [...]

Hot: http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070905-first-look-opera-9-5-alpha.html Some interesting tidbits from the article: Opera claims that the latest version is faster than ever before, and our experience bears this out. When running various JavaScript speed tests, Opera 9.5 scored slightly higher (281ms) than the previous released version, 9.23 (546ms). And Opera 9.x, let it be known, smacks silly the likes [...]
Hot: Earlier today I posted the following question: Incidentally, if anyone can help me figure out how to get my panel display to look like the one shown at the Breeze skin creator’s site, please let me know. I’ve poked around and haven’t found anything like what they’re talking about. And then I answered my [...]
Hot: Holy pre-release, Batman! I happened to be going to look for a new WikiSearch panel, and what before my wandering eyes did appear but the announcement on the front of My Opera stating that the Alpha release of Opera 9.5, AKA Kestrel, is available! I’m totally getting it. You should too! My favorite browser [...]
Hot: A Mashable article from a couple days ago highlighted 30 nifty Firefox skins. I tend to stick to Opera, but I’m always on the lookout for interesting Firefox tools and skins since I know so many folks who are really into customizing their Firefox install. Of the 30 listed skins in the Mashable writeup, [...]
