Somehow, many years ago, I became dissatisfied with my old Netscape browser and had no desire to support Windows in any way, shape or form.\u00a0 I was stuck with a Gateway laptop running Windows, but that didn’t mean that I had to succumb to Internet Explorer.\u00a0 At the time, I was already worried about how much RAM browsers ate up and I couldn’t bear to have the computer running any slower than it already was.\u00a0 Firefox, as you may recall, didn’t exist yet.<\/p>\n

And so I discovered a plucky Scandanavian company making a free browser that advertised the smallest RAM footprint.\u00a0 It also offered something called tabbed browsing years before any of the big boys even knew what that was.\u00a0 I loved my old Opera 6 browser and stuck with them right up until the beginning of this year, when I was finally able to switch to from Windows to Mac.<\/p>\n

At that momentous occasion, I remember looking into Opera and finding that it wasn’t really up-to-date for the Mac platform.\u00a0 Today, that changed.\u00a0 Opera 10<\/a> is now available for Mac.\u00a0 I have downloaded it and done some test browsing and it looks like my plucky little friends from Norway have got it right.\u00a0 I am very excited.\u00a0 The Fightins<\/a> does not crash and Fretbuzz.net<\/a> is no problem.\u00a0 I read both of these sites regularly and they both crash Firefox.\u00a0 On Opera, it’s no problem.\u00a0 Legal research on Lexis will still need to be done on Safari because I can not see the tables of contents on Opera or Firefox, but I’m still better off than I was.\u00a0 Firefox is going to be retired and Opera will become the default browser as soon as I can learn to export bookmarks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
