    Anyone else used the new version of Opera? (5.11)

    It's got a nice little feature for lazy people smile.gif - that being the "gestures" command... not a million miles away from the gestures you can perform in - say - Black and White.

    e.g.:
    holding down the right mouse button - move left and release to go back, move right and release to go forward - move up and down and release to reload... etc. - takes a minute to get used to but dead handy.

    Good work Opera fellas!

    Hey,
    i had Opera ages ago, and it was class,but it didn't have offline browseing, which is a real must for me. Has that changed???

    I believe that that whole gesture thing originally came from Xwindows. You were able to swirl your mouse around to load specific progs.

    Cant remember name of prog now though frown.gif
