    1.0.7? Neato, but I've been having fun playing with the 1.5 betas and 1.6 alphas. They have one great thing going for them -- they are FAST. Considerably faster than any previous release. I've tested Linux, Windows, OS X. Firefox team, you're getting there! Kudos.

    Yeah, most extensions don't work. People are complaining about the new look of the menus (doesn't bother me). Definitely create a new profile and use it.

    Besides the missing ads at the top, I haven't noticed any differences between
    Opera 8.5 and 8.02.
