I didn't find any threads on Opera 10 (or Opera in general that weren't like three years old) so I guess I'll start one.
Anyone else using this as their primary browser? I downloaded it yesterday after using Firefox for years and there are things that I definitely like more than FF, for one it's much quicker. I might stick with it for a while.
I have a few questions if there are any Opera vets out there...
1. With mouse gestures, is there a gesture to close the browser completely like in FF? If I do the L shaped gesture with only one window/tab open it just closes that and goes to my Speed Dial. Kinda annoying.
2. Any way to make Speed Dial auto-refresh when I open the browser? It's cool to see all the thumbnails but it's kinda pointless and not very functional if they don't auto-refresh. It'll be in the middle of winter and my weather.com thumbnail will still be saying it's 77 and sunny in CT.
Same thing with news/sports/finance sites, I don't want to be looking at 6-month-old headlines in my speed dial.
3. Anyway to have the bookmark toolbar like in FF where you can just have the logo of each bookmark? This is probably my favorite thing about FF.
4. Are widgets all that useful? I was browsing through them and they all seemed kinda irrelevant, nothing like extensions for FF that really improve your browsing experience. I know FF is the king of customization but I figure there have to be some decent widgets. Any recommendations?
