i guess if your machine is overspec'ed and blazing fast, opera(7) may not offer considerable (performance) advantages compared to other browsers.
in answer to the qn, for most pp, Opera will probably be faster than Konq. <IMO> however, on any botherline machines, say 500mhz down and 128mb or less, opera is just about the best browser around. this is from a feature/performance/conformance standpoint. the beauty of opera isn't so much in it's features, but from intuitive and efficient way it allows you to work, ie, your workflow. eg. CTRL-N to open a page, type in url, and hit '2' to read prev with new page loads. eg2. browse with graphics off, visit www.foo-photoalbum.com hit "g" to turn on all graphics. CTRL-SHIFT click on 30 photos, and all pages browsed from this page loads with graphics. all others remain as per default (graphics off). </IMO> now, if only i can wean myself off Outlook Express for my email. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Kaplan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, February 24, 2003 3:00 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] Opera7 > How does O7 compare w/ Konqueror 3.1 for speed, appearance, compliance? > I preferred O6, and now O7, on W2K to other browsers, but my feeling is that > there isn't any advantage of O6.1 over K3 M9.0. > Paul > On Sunday 23 February 2003 11:46 pm, Derek Jennings wrote: > > The recent discussion encouraged me to give the Opera7Beta a trial under > > Mandrake9.0.
