I tried it and would stick with it on my mac, but it needs smooth scrolling. REAL smooth scrolling, like safari and omniweb. I don’t know if that’s a webkit exclusive, though.

The last time I saw Opera on a Mac, my eyes started to bleed. I know some people with Windows love it these days, but has the situation changed with their OS X version?

Thanks for clarifiying. I was thinking it was more like the expose feature on os x, where clicking on a thumbnail maximizes that site…

I think the speedial feature will be revolutionary just the way tabs were, your gonna wonder how you ever lived with out it. I have never used Opera but im gonna give it a try because FF memory leaks are getting on my nerves and I cant fully rely on Safari (although I love it) because blogger.com does not support it fully.

It doesn’t actually load these pages. These are only small thumbnails of the pages. Refreshing them could be done on demand. But it doesn’t affect the new tab load times at all. Or at least it can be measured in milliseconds. So it’s fast, as always was.

@Adam: I’m assuming it would be a screen shot of the site, not a live update-able mini version of the page.

@Paul, I’m curious to why the “top 9″ lexicon is something you’re not looking forward to.

I’ve had bad experiences with Opera in the past but that Speed Dial looks pretty slick…how does it affect opening a new tab though? It seems opening nine sites at once into a new tab would be sluggish…

I gave 9.0 / 9.1 a real go, intent on switching to it from FF. But it’s menus / icons / other visual choices just really got on my nerves, so I quit using it. Now I keep it installed to check browser compatibility but that’s about it. FF is perfect for me, except for the memory-leak stuff.

I’m curious: does anyone actually USE Opera on the Mac?
Being from Norway (home of Opera), I guess I should be proud of it. And I am, in a way. Opera for handheld devices is awesome, and likewise is the DS and Wii implementations. It’s also pretty good on Windows. But on the Mac? It’s just never been very good, imho. But I have to say, it certainly has gotten better over the years. The rendering is fast and all, but the interface… just seems so slow and sluggish… and ugly.
