I downloaded that for work and home -- it's fast. Totally worth having to pick new themes for (since neither of the ones I'd been using have been upgraded to work with the new version yet).

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Yeah, I already miss my Brushed theme. OTOH, all the extensions I had were compatible or upgradable, and it did the upgrade check automatically.

Is this on PCs or Macs?
Both. I miss my Mac theme the most. (Oh Abstract X, why won't you upgrade? Why?)
It's probably too soon to ask this, but have you noticed it to be more stable?
Hasn't crashed yet. :)
(And it turns out a compatible upgrade to my theme was available. It just hasn't been posted to the official themes site yet. Woo hoo!)

It is, but it's not even the speed I notice. I've been using it since the first beta -- I was supposed to just try it out and go back to the stable version, but once I got my hands on drag-and-drop tab ordering, I just couldn't bear to give it up.
Why is Opera losing this race? Is it the upswell of savvy users that followed the Mozilla story? Because Opera's been doing many of the things that people like about Firefox, and longer. I haven't found it significantly slower, and it's stable for me.
Yet it's barely a blip in the usage numbers.
Maybe it's the name, maybe the lack of massive promotion, maybe something else, I dunno. I wonder if there are any articles on the subject.
I think Firefox's roots that reach back to Netscape probably have a lot to do with it.
