The browser was previously available free of charge with an ad banner. Users had the option of paying a licensing fee to remove the ad banner and receive premium support.

Aye opera can't be beaten! I couldn't use a browser without right mouse gestures any more!

Yeah deffo, Opera's the Daddy

It took about 8 months of putting up with major probs with my tinternet and all along I just had to change me browser.

Mozilla is ok too

Only prob is it won't let me upload pics when I'm listing on ebay

Anyone know how I can get round that

I tried Opera and didn't really like it. I now use avant, a plug in for IE that gives it all the features it should have like tabbed browsing, mouse gestures, popup blockers and all that. And it works with ebay..

I've just tried this and it's deffo a great upgrade to IE

Thing is I get the same probs I get with IE
My connection is fine and really quick for a few minutes then it just stops!
Nothing happens for anything from up to a minute then bingo everythings fine again
Now I don't get this with Opera or mozilla (but mozilla is sometimes a bit slow)
It's prolly cos I'm running 98se cos I've tried another machine running xp and IE worked fine on my connection.

Does the merciful release sig mean your a closet goth
I used to love the Sisters

[ruffers]

80's Goth, 90's techno. 2000+ too old to care so just mix it all up...

As it goes I know quite a few people who go from goth, particularly the Sisters to techno, lot of similarities.
