KayMan2K Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Awesome!!! Has 7.60 even been released yet? EDIT: Just installed it, but what is new? I looks identical to the 7.60 build.. did they just rename it? Being labeled 'beta' rather than 'alpha' I was looking forward to something visibly new.

lardiop Veteran Posted December 22, 2004 Veteran Share Posted December 22, 2004 lets hope opera guys don't kill me for this ;) 585149039[/snapback] Anyone could find it if they looked in the FTP server. If they post it in a publically accessable location, and announce it to people, I can't see why they would be angry.

Sushubh Posted December 22, 2004 Author Share Posted December 22, 2004 what do you mean by collapsible ad? no ads when no page is open? how does that help in any case! :) please explain. on the brighter side... here is a good news. Opera 8 is most likely to have no upgrade fee. and even better... One license is valid for Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP, Mac, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, OS/2 and Psion. second part is here: http://www.opera.com/buy/ first part was mentioned on the irc channel.

Rix Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Collapse ads, like Firefox's Adblock extension. It can supposidly already be done with some CSS, but i havent managed to get that to work.
