Opera 9.5 To Fully Support CSS?
Albert Sandberg writes "According to a developer blog, it looks like Opera 9.5 (which has been code-named Kestrel) will be the first browser to fully support the CSS selector test (test is here). Finally! Weekly builds should start being available in a few weeks."
Really, the Opera web browser has allowed me to do great things throughout the internet, with hundreds of tabs open, and consequently more bookmarking being done, and session management, I do not know how productive I would be with Firefox alone. Commonly, when stranded on Firefox-only systems, I am burdened with odd tab loading impairments and generally limited to acting like I am doing literally one thing and one thing only-- no queuing up content or strands of thought, etc. Even with the hierarchical vertical tabbing enhancements through the TBE extension akin to iRider, my productivity seems to drop. So, I am glad to see more (good) publicity for Opera.
Despite Opera showing its superiority as a browser over and over again and on multiple platforms, from desktop to mobile to game systems, ther eis still no Slashdot Icon to mark Opera news stories.
Yes, because kneejerk reactionaries of the sort trolling through this thread would be off in their little corner of the web and the rest of us sane people would be able to talk civilly. Telling the majority of your users (including, for example, poor people who don't own a computer and use whatever is installed on the computer in the public library) to fuck off is like a shoe store refusing to sell shoes to anyone with uncool socks. Much better to sell someone a nice pair of shoes, and say, "By the way, you could try these really nice socks to go with them. The don't have holes in them like the ones you're wearing."
