    Let's see...

    - It's more secure than Firefox. The latest developments show that Firefox is only more "secure" because hackers are not bothering with it yet. But FF has the potential to be less safe than IE.
    - It has integrated BitTorrent. I absolutely love that feature.
    - More customizability with toolbars, buttons, bookmarks, etc.

    I'll come up with more as I discover em. :)

    // Just for the record, I have been a diehard Firefox fanboy. I've had Firefox every since the 0.5 Beta, right up until the 1.5 Beta. Opera beats it like it's nobody's business. [/b][/quote]
    Bona Fide - I've DL'd this version of Opera... How'd I use the intergrated BitTorrent feature?

    I also like how when you close the browser what ever page you had up last, it comes back up. So there really is no homepage.

    I guess what this means kiddies is to not l00k @ pr0n and then close the browser and let your parents on.

    This is really great, tried it now, and deleting my firefox now, if anybody want to know, if u want to have ur favourites from ff to opera u can do that by: manage ur favourites and then file (with the diskette) and choose firefox favourites import or sumthing.
    maybe i mispelled a word, its just i have dutch opera, so i had to translate the words :)

    Glad to see everyone likes it. :D

    @Kazuya : Look through the help documents or the main site. I haven't tried it out yet, but that feature is a big pull for Opera, and it's basically the "flagship" feature. So I'm sure Opera 8 has it.

    I'm using it now and I don't think it's faster than my fire fox.
    I have DSL and my FF loads the pages way faster.
