I realy like the last one, I have to try it.

Edit: Tried the last pop-up features and it seems to be working OK. Visited a few sites that have many ad pop-up and none of them showed up. Tried a site were some links are pop-up and they opened up. That's very good

Cool, looks like a decent browser except for the built in adds on the top right.

Looks like I'm gonna have to try it out!

Thansk for the screen shot!

Is there something wrong with the table layout engine? On that screenshots things are lining up (or not!) differently to what I am used to. Eg the vertical between the poster information and the posted message. And the line of buttons along the bottom of each message (eg the "... is online now" button)

you're right GNEP. seems to be borked.

Neg on that. Well atleast no difference between 6.04 and 7. Vert line moves because all posters dont have avatars that are 64px wide, some have smaller ones... Tho i dunno how it looks in IE, havent used it in ages... I can live with that
Ah! The poster info cell is much wider in IE. NM, dont like IE

[GNEP]

That would really annoy me. Lots. I try hard to get sites looking pixel-purrrfect.

Can you take a look at http://www.rai.ox.ac.uk/ in Opera and tell me if anything looks broken/out of alignment?

I'm on 56k at home and so try not to download too many new versions of browsers if I can help it...

[thop]

i'm with GENP here. when it comes to pixel aesthetics i make no comprimises thats BYE opera already for me

[GNEP]

Thpo: GNEP not GENP! Oh hell - just call me George.

GNEP, the site you indicated looks good, I don't see anything broken...

And somebody asked if it was skinnable, yes it is. I haven't looked for any skins so far but I had a few spare for Opera 6...

Oh and about the built-in ads, you can remove them by buying the software. Ok I know we're not used to do that...

[PAugustin]

Oh and about that pixel alignment, I've tried two other forum and haven't seen this problem. It seems that Opera doens't handle this type of forum correctly...
I'm gonna see if I find something about this...

I know, its VERY annoying when you build a web page that looks peachy in IE but something goes wrong in Opera or Netscape/Mozilla. Unfortunately thats the way it is, you just have to spend a lot of time cross-testing...

Thanks for having a look for me PAugustin!

So whats the consensus, is it worth it?

Could anyone try this site:
http://www.dpreview.com
(an interesting site on digital photography)

In Opera 6.0.x, the menu on the left side doesn't work properly (there should be a menu appearing on mouse over). Also, the box in which the "latest news" is displayed, has incorrect bounds (text comes out on the left side).
In IE5 this is not problem with this site...

VJ : the menu works OK but the text problem is still there... It still comes out on the left side.
But the rest of the site seems OK.

[VJ]

Thanks!
The menu is the most important thing, as certain parts of the site cannot be reached without it.
(I'm still a bit doubtfull of switching to beta-versions )
