When in the heck are they going to allow for addons?! That's the only thing holding me back from switching to Opera!

I love opera and have been waiting for this to come out.
It won't be replacing FF though.
I have ~23 extensions installed that opera can't match.
Opera does have widgets though.

I'll probably use opera for multiple tab viewing, since it handles that much better than FF, and use FF for when I need to use extensions like flashgot, unplug, colt, MAF and MR Tech.

The OSX version's theme looks a lot better than the Windows one does. That'd probably look better with Vista but looks really out of place under XP.

Other than that, I like it. It's a big improvement

ah they still don't allow people to middle click the bookmarks. Even though I still use Opera this always bugs me. I should really write it on their forums or something.

Used Opera for a while, really liked it, but some of FireFox's addons are phenomenal and makes surfing the world wide web a little less stressful.

I just tried it (on linux) and I hit a dealbreaker, which I couldn't fix after 20 minutes of trying real hard.

I'm used to viewing pages at 120% zoom (I have a 1600x1200 20" screen). Opera resizes images and text, while Firefox does only the text. That would be fine if Opera didn't use a crappy nearest-neighbour algorithm for the resize, making ALL graphics look like this:

I hear that's not a problem on Windows but... too bad.

This one is the shit! It works awesomely and is alot faster than v9.2x. Thankfully they fixed the bug from 9.5 beta where it made Opera suck 100% CPU time.

I've just installed it and it's quite fast. Font rendering is also better than IE and Safari IMHO.
