“though I miss the status bar at the bottom of the screen that tells me if the target page is loading or stalled”Right click on the address bar and click on ‘Cus[u]t[/u]omize…’. From the ‘Progress bar’ drop-down menu, select ‘Pop-up at bottom’. Simple!Even after your specifying that Opera is better than Firefox in (almost) every feature, you end up saying that Firefox is better! Ridiculous!!

If only I could figure out how to auto-delete old feeds in Opera. It’s annoying to delete old content manualy

Opera 9 comes off to me as a browser that has “cool” features. It’s not an everyday browser like Firefox is.There are a couple of p2p Firefox projects going on at the moment; AllPeers and MozTorrent. I’d rather have it like that where it’s optional (as an extension), rather than something forced on me.Widgets are not necessary by any means either. I don’t understand why they had to incorporate that into the browser. I currently use the Yahoo Widget application for that. Vista will have its own, and the Mac OS does so right now.What’s fair though…is to compare Firefox 2 when it comes out in a couple of months to Opera 9.

I would love an easy way to add custom searches (IMDB, AllMusic, etc.) to this list.Right-click in the search engine text entry field and pick “Create Search…”
