    Out of curiosity, what benefits does Opera offer over IE or NS?

      - It is much smaller
      - It is much faster to use (you have one mother window and as much of child windows as you want)

      Somebody can continue.

            Thanks. Does the software have any installation downsides?

                  <i>Out of curiosity, what benefits does Opera offer over IE or NS?</i>

                  Opera has a smaller footprint, an internal taskbar, and a lot more options.

                  <i>where do you het this program from and is it free ??</i>

                  www.opera.com The unregistered version has very unobtrusive ads.

                  <i>Thanks. Does the software have any installation downsides?</i>

                  Nope, but you need to install Sun's JRE (it's bundled) in order for Opera to support Java.

                  <i>Just testing... I hope this post will show up, it will be another blow to IE</i>

                  It is.

                    ads?

                    Are we talking Spyware or just banners in the programme?

                      Just a small banner in the corner. You won't even know it's there after a while. And remember, Opera is faaaaaaaast and very small compared to IE or NS, just about 2 Megs IIRC...

                      Go for it!

                              Until Opera can render my homepage correctly it is placed in my trashcan.

                              Regarding one of the points:
                              - It is much faster to use (you have one mother window and as much of child windows as you want)
                              Internet Explorer actually works like this as well, but it's less obvious. When shift-clicking on links (opening them in new windows) or launching a new window by any means other than loading IE again, it's a child process of the first, which allows it to be faster on those slower computers. Opera's method is just much more obvious, because it uses the multiple document interface (Which I found annoying, personally, I'm too attached to having IE-style).
