Both. I miss my Mac theme the most. (Oh Abstract X, why won't you upgrade? Why?)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's probably too soon to ask this, but have you noticed it to be more stable?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
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!)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I downloaded that for work and home -- it's fast.
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

All is well that ends in pizza.
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.

Coding and Sleeping
I think Firefox's roots that reach back to Netscape probably have a lot to do with it.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I only discovered recently that Opera was now free.

I have, at least on my old Windows machine. And back when I originally switched to Firefox, the lack of banner ads was a big plus.

Actually, for me, the Netscape roots were what kept me from switching for a pretty long time. I've always found Netscape (and Mozilla) clunky and irritating to use. Opera was the first browser I ever really liked.]

I think I paid for it once, and I've been using it since it fit on a floppy. It has very non-intrusive advertising (in fact, I need to upgrade this machine to the free version, but I'm so amused by the context-sensitive ads that I keep forgetting to).
I wouldn't say it has a bad rap -- more like no rap. And certainly no geek cred. But it's had moveable tabs and the like for forever.
Makes me sad, because I figure with everyone designing for IE, Firefox and maybe Safari, compatibility will force me to give it up. Don't wanna.
