buy opera for the browswer, not for its mailing capabilities. even when i used mozilla, i didnt use its mail program.:]
as far as mouse gesture are concern, i may be wrong, and i havnt used mozilla for a while, but it had mouse gesture before it did. (i left mozilla for opera 7.0) and as far the mac is concern, i dun use it;p
well my computer suck maybe, im running p3 700 256mb ram. it load faster then both mozilla and ie, so its somethin im enjoying.
i hate switching to ie (sometimes u have to switch to ie, cause a javascript doesnt work, or ur on a m$ site), and i subconsciously try to use opera feature, and realize its not working:\
also with the mouse gestures... you can surf other pages, without knowin the link. ie, for a web gallery. or an online tut. as long as it has a common-base name, it will add up incremental. good stuff. good stuff.
but anyways, to each his own. i personally think opera is better then all other browsers, and worth the pay. if you like mozilla or phoenix, heck, even ie, go with it. just giving you my view.
Why pay for Opera?
Opera is like Mozilla on speed (and maybe crack).
That's why. $40, or whatever it may seem like a bit much, but its well worth the pay if you enjoy your web surfing. But I guess the cheap folks will settle for their mozilla or ie.
Point being.. Opera is much better then the other browsers, be it on Linux or on a Windows machine.
I must say though, I do like Mozilla, but it seriously lacked in one department--speed. It took forever to load up. IE had that beat. It was either go with IE, Mozilla's sluggish bloat, or bad ass quick web surfin Opera.
Also, I've enjoyed the mouse gesture quite a lot. Hold down left-button, and click right-button to go forward, and hold down right-button, and click left button to go back. There are others too. Opera actually have some USEFUL features, and not just bloat.
See it beyond the price tag.
