Opera 7 beta2 relased!
Check it out... www.opera.com
I just installed it. It's improved a little bit (ie: the tables inside a thread now line up), plus a few more eye-candy effects have been added.

force_flow2002,
Do you have to uninstall the old version first? Carl |

It didn't say, but I just installed it overtop Opera 7 beta1. All the bookmarks stayed, that was the important thing. If you want to backup your bookmark file, it's called "opera6.adr".
Just one thing though, for the Java version: when it comes to the part where java will be installed, all it says is "uninstall" and "cancel". I chose cancel. Again, this is only if you're upgrading from 7 beta1. Both betas use the same java plug-in. |

force_flow2002,
I'm using 6.05 and not worried about Bookmarks. I'll just import them from IE. Thanks for the heads up about Java, I already have it installed so I'll click cancel too. |

Is it noticeably faster, or just "prettier"? Thanks.

Floppy,
It is faster and looks the same. For me, noticeably faster. Carl |

Thanks Carl. I'll probably give it a try once the final version it out.

It's noticably faster, as Kubie said. That's great for someone who has dial-up like I do.
One feature I noticed, which was removed: You can no longer save web pages as html files; only as *.txt files. |

I tried Opera a couple years ago but I didn't like the way it handles bookmarks. Has that been improved?

What was it like a couple years ago? I guess I didn't start using utnil about a year ago or so, so I don't really know.

Well, I didn't use it a few years ago. The first version I used was Opera 5, then 6, and now 7.
Anyway, I think it handles bookmarks fine. Not quite like IE, but still easy. |

The bookmark file was more like a text file but now that I think about it, the browser may not have been Opera. I can't remember for sure what browser it was. If Opera is faster than IE, I think I'll try it. What does it cost?

It's free, but you have a little ad window up in the right corner. If you were to buy it I think the ads go away. HTH
