Thanks just updated. This has been my default browser for a while now. Looks like they made some big improvements as well.

I read somewhere that of all browser users, those on Opera have the highest IQ. I was a bit upset because I loved Chrome! I'll download Opera and try to see what the fuss is about.

I’ve been using Opera for over 8 years now and that’s too long to simply give it up now. Love their inventions and a speed of the browser (others follow them and copy their inventions).
True there were some glitches here and there but I can’t imagine using any other browser and I did try them all. It is also known as the safest browser so far. No offense to others who are using what they are using to browse. Just an honest opinion.
Cheers!
