"Fastest Browser On Earth" Cuts Crud

gabec writes "The guys at Opera have been rewriting their rendering engine over the past 18 months, tossing out legacy code and making the browser more DOM compliant with the intention of making the self-proclaimed "fastest browser on earth" even faster. They claim to have succeeded, according to this article on ZDNet.. Fun stuff.. ;)"

    My wife can flip through the closeout clothing racks in a store at near light speed.

    You wanna talk browsing speed? Opera ain't got nothin' on her.

    "although i'll probably pay for the bannerless just to support them."

    Well, this is an amusing coincidence: As I read this post, Opera ran an ad in their banner about paying $19.99 (half price) for Opera and you get entered into a drawing to win a Zaurus.

    I was about to say "I havent decided whether to pay for it or not because I like the comic ads...) but that changed my mind. Im just gonna pay for it. Heh.

    The timing of that was pretty cool!
