Some banking sites that don't work in IE work in Opera.
So I like Opera quite a bit.

Sure I could buy it ! But why should I ? I've already got an Internet Browser which for me Is working flawlessly, namely I.E 6 !

Regarding the Banking Sites Issue :

Have you tried adjusting the privacy settings to allow those sites to use cookies ?

I.E 6 blocks those kind of cookies as a default, but you can manually allow sites to put cookies on your computer or you can set your privacy settings to low !

Good suggestion, but it's not a cookie problem.
To get some banking sites to work in IE, you have
to fiddle with IE's SSL/TLS settings.

Opera works fine out of the box.

More good things about Opera:

<ul>
<li>you can set a minimum font size
<li>you can press F12 and <a href="http://www.opera.com/graphics/press/guides/600pref_quick.png">turn off popups</a>
<li>you can use one of the included <a href="http://people.opera.com/~rijk/" title="scroll to bottom">sample styles</a>, like <a href="http://people.opera.com/~rijk/stylesheets/ultramarine.css" title="gold hover links on a navy blue background (matrox colors for every site)">ultramarine.css</a>
</ul>

Opera 6 looks really nice, unfortunately it won't cooperate with my webmail

I have been using Opera for a while and find that it works well. However on some sites links do not work and give a Java script void error. Anyone know a way around this?

DJ, what you might do is send the webmaster of the site
a short note, something like:

<blockquote>
Hello, I've noticed a small error on your page,
located on [ line ] at [ url ]. The error is: [ error ].

You can reproduce the error by opening [ url ]
in the Opera web browser.

You may be able to fix it by following <a href="http://tech.irt.org/articles/js169/#4.13">JavaScript Best Practices</a>,
or consulting <a href="http://www.opera.com/docs/specs/js/">Opera's JS documents</a>.

Thanks for your help!
</blockquote>

Hopefully the webmaster will respond and do something about it.
In the meantime, you can press F12 to turn off JS, and use the
[ noscript ] version of the page.

I'm giving 6.0 a try... and I've got a few questions:

How do I...
Arrange the button layout in the navbar?
Move all the bars onto one line, so that they don't consume a lot of space?
Set a specific directory to keep all bookmarks?
Dock the hotlist when using SDI?
Drag a URL to the desktop/folder?
Get Opera to remember its size & position?

Here are 2 questions I got answers to:

Disable the splash screen?
Go to opera6.ini and enter:
[USER PREFS]
SHOW SPLASH SCREEN=1

Disable the Email/News/Chat in the Hotlist:
Just set these fields in opera6.ini:
[USER PREFS]
Show News Client=0
Show IM Client=0
Show E-mail Client=0
