Interesting no one posted this now very old news sooner. I just downloaded it and I must say:

"Take back the web" -- Opera 8.5

Firefox was getting flanky on me and Opera 8.5 works with everything I need it to work with. The only thing I miss so far is 'Find as you type' O'well you can't have it all.

Awesome browser, quick, Efficient, puuurty, stable, clean. Not to mention they have had 1.6 Million Downloads since they took off their Ad's :)

And to think the UofA just paid for the Licence for Opera. Haha.

Blasphemy!

PS- The U did not pay for an Opera license, they got it for free.
