Xavier is just another troll, best ignored…īut for the benefit of other readers, I’ll attempt to set some things straight here: If you don’t pay for and register your copy of the Opera browser, it will display a banner ad in the upper right corner after 15 days. So, it’s really, it’s no point for see screenshot for this. It looks so so same as Windows version (new blue UI), but with QT menu. Stephen Smith: Any screenshots of the Linux version? Sometimes, there’s no highlight in the menu, but overall I am happy with 7 better than 6.xx. Maybe, I can create a patch, then port in the ports tree if they accept.

All I did was edit the install.sh to correct the path like /usr/share/*/*/ to /usr/X11R6/*/*/ and few other paths to match FreeBSD. I find it’s more stable than 6.xx on FreeBSD so far. 🙂īascule: And good job to the Opera team getting the Opera 7 preview for Linux out so quickly… hopefully this will fix some of the performance problems I’ve been having after they switched from Qt 2 to Qt 3 in Opera 6.1 for Linux/FreeBSD. BTW: I am using static version on FreeBSD. It feels like it’s faster than Windows as usually, but hard to tell from 6.xx Linux version to 7.x Linux version for speed, but can tell on stable. I love it so far it’s better than 6 for stable. I have been using it, since yesterday afternoon. but at the moment I find using Opera 7 more hassle than occasionally having to paste a link into IE.ĭarius: It’ll be interesting to see if the Linux version shapes up to be as good. It’s a browser I really wanted to like, I’ve been a fan since Opera 2.12 and the only thing I dislike about Opera 6 is the few web sites that it can’t view. I can learn to tolerate a lot of problems, but for me the messed up MDI makes O7 very frustrating to use. MDI window management was what first attracted me to Opera, it kept me using it despite problematic releases such as Opera 4. But I’ve encountered a lot of bugs and stability problems in O7, O6 was far more reliable.Īlso the MDI window management in O7 is painfully screwed up IMO, it makes dealing with multiple windows much less elegant. There are nice new features in O7 and it allows me to view some pages that I couldn’t before. Personally I’ve gone back to Opera 6.05 for Windows after using O7 for the last week. I just hope that Opera for Linux doesn’t copy the Windows version’s problems along with it’s new features. IIRC Opera have said that Linux specific features missing from O7 preview 1 will be put back in a later release.
