browser wars

Remember the browser wars? Microsoft may have won, but some dudes in Norway didn't notice and they make a wonderful browser called Opera. Version 7 was released recently. I was still a little buggy and I went back to version 6. 7.02 just came out and it is working just fine now. It's small, fast, skinnable, lots of keyboard controls, and, for someone whose most used application is his browser, it's a joy to use. It has a new e-mail client built in that is most interesting. It needs some more formatting capabilities before I think I will switch from Eudora, but it is well integrated into the browser. No Opera 7 for the Mac yet. There is a free version with ads (see below.) I will be sending in my US$39 as soon as get some of those US$. The picture below is Opera 7 with a Cocoa skin.
