</snip> Derek, I agree completely. Opera is one of my favorites too. Furthermore : I purchased a license several years ago (about 5.0 or so) and payed about $ 20 to get rid of the ads. Every time they upgrade to a new, major release I get a discount, being an oldtimer. And the installation is a breeze - no need to reconfigure bookmarks, settings etc..... And here comes the bad news : Opera relies on the Qt libraries from the Norwegian company Trolltech. Those are the same libraries KDE relies on (hence the shared libraries option). Some time ago I asked Trolltech about their alleged connection with SCO. They didn't answer. However, the allegations seem to be quite true - Google will confirm that. SCO and Trolltech are in the same *Canopy*. So - now I have to reconsider.
