neowin_hipster Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 I love it. It's soo bloody fast and it never crashes. I find it's at least 2-3 times faster than IE 6. It's new interface is awesome. I think they've nailed the prefferences and options section. Finally a company that's got it right! What do YOU think of it???

0 strife379 Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 Yeah I just got Opera 6, it really is nice... I kinda peeved about having to pay again for getting rid of ads again but I think its worth it... much better than IE6...

0 MulletRobZ Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 WHAT!?!? They already have Opera 6? I better update immediately! :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/5114-opera-60/#findComment-34779 Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 kennywins Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 but...Windows XP already comes with IE6, and I just hate having two browsers when one more or less does just fine...However, I would definitely run Opera over IE6 is I could get rid of IE6.

0 Maximus Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 Opera is Nice and fast, It's a great browser but I don't want to pay for somethign when I can get IE or netscape for free which does the exact same things. The free download is good but I hate programs with built in ads. If Opera were free without ads just like IE, I'd be a Opera user for life.

0 Quboid Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 You can just enter your Opera5 code to register it if you have one. If not, you can find one online ;) I can't say I've noticed much difference myself. The only difference is the icon images, and that's just a bit of gif editing, a different layout for the preferences and a few tweaks. Oh, and you can select no tabs rather than tabs (why?!). It looks more like 5.13, unless there is a lot of beneath the surface differences.

0 Gooey Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 Probably just bringing their version number in-line with everyone else... ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/5114-opera-60/#findComment-35068 Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 fr33k Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 a couple of things that i think could make Opera better 1. close window tabs with a click of the mouse wheel. 2. close all windows button. 3. url blocking to block banner adds. 4. pop up stoper. 5. when you open a window in favorites it opens in a blank window, or a new window, so you can keep your current. add these and opera would be more user friendly update: it does have a pop up stopper and open in a new window from favorites Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/5114-opera-60/#findComment-35230 Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MulletRobZ Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 Opera 6 Beta 1 rocks! However, I'd still prefer Mozilla Build 2001111209 because even though Opera loads up pages faster than the competition, it still has some major problems with web support unlike Mozilla and Netscape 6.1.

0 shark1 Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 I have tried it on Win2k, and i must say Opera 6 is quite good. First time using it. But i think i will stick to IE6, don't fix something that aint broke :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/5114-opera-60/#findComment-35280 Share on other sites More sharing options...
