Opera's "extentions" aren't

Opera 11 supposedly introduces support for real extensions, though after  
browsing the extension gallery[1] I haven't noticed anything I'd want to  
use. They seem to be pimped-up UserScripts, nothing which allows actually  
modifying the UI (possibly a good thing - a customized Firefox looks like  
a Frankenbrowser with all the toolbars and buttons). Opera has also  
supported UserScripts for some time.



I think I had some other problems as well though I
don't remember exactly what. I posted my impressions of it on this NG,  
you
can probably just search the NG for posts from "Sabalausky" with "opera"  
in

the text.


Hmm, can't find anything (neither in my archives, nor on Google)... well,  
considering that a few years ago someone from Opera Software said that  
"The best browser in the world doesn't need extensions", I'd say that  
quite a few things changed ;)
