Indeed, there is always a big discussion on this site when new version of browser is released, so there are both positive (so far mostly about extensions and speed) and negative comments (apparently some people still don't know that Opera can block ads! ).

Lol, if they just know how many ways you can block ads using Opera [built-in content blocker - noAds extension *new] or you can go my way and use a plain old hosts file

Hm, interesting. How can we do a better job making sure they know? I think the AdFilter in Opera works great!

I downloaded from cnet download.com and installed but it didn't upgrade my beta, wtf??? Does it mean that all my bookmarks created in beta will be lost??? How about other configurations also? Now my Opera 11 beta and final running side-by-side, and the final version always crashed! wtf??? I'm running on Windows 7 64 bit, but why the beta running OK except can't download from browser update?

Mouse gestures are fine in my opinion. Spend 1 more calorie on brain power and 25ms on performing the correct gesture and it works fine.

After a while this new, correct movement will become your brains default.
