    Opera...

    The "third web browser"...

    Right now I'm browsing boards.ie using Opera 4.03 and to be perfectly honest, I'd stick with it! For the zoom feature alone (I'm viewing the site in fullscreen mode at 150% - it looks great and is really easy to read) which I'm surprised isn't a more regular feature in web browsers, it's excellent. ... better than Netscape 6!!!

    My only problem with it is that I've got the Irish language pack installed on it and don't know how to switch back to English wink.gif ... my Gaeilge is a bit rusty to say the least...

    Nice one Opera- keep it up!

    I upgraded to the "free" (ad supported) version 5 and don't find the ads all that annoying really. I'm using it for boards.ie all the time now...
