january 29, 2006Ok, just hours into my trial of Opera, things are not going so well and I may just have to suffer a bit with Firefox for the time being. Here's what I have discovered and is bugging me enough to switch back to Firefox:
- CTRL-T: Gah! I can't get myself to not CTRL-T for a new tab.
- CTRL-click: Another "gah" moment. There does not seem to be a way to open tabs by CTRL-clicking.
- Tab Order: Closing a tab does not select the next tab over, the previously selected tab is actually selected after the current one is closed.
- AdBlocking: One can use the filter.ini method, which requires a bit of work.
- Website compatibility: Not really Opera's fault, but websites like my.yahoo.com (I need my portfolio) and mail.yahoo.com don't work with Opera.
I really want to like Opera and I'll keep it around, but I don't think I can do day-to-day browsing with it. I'll stick with Firefox (while hoping and praying that the developers will lighten up on the memory usage) for now.
