Opera 9.50

After reading a great review on Inquirer about Opera. I upgraded my copy to the new version.



I don't have much a problem to switch between browsers. I use whatever suitable for a job. There are few things I like Opera. For instance, its auto refresh function is great. Like all other browsers, it does have few things I don't like too. Download is one of them. I don't know if it is just me, with the previous version, whenever I starts a download, the transfer tab will pops up. It is intruding. Lucky, this has been "fixed" in the new version. Another thing I like the new Opera is its speed. With other browser seems to put on some weigh (bloated) and becomes slower and slower at the start up. Opera seems to have break that trend. I have some very old machine with very little memory by today's standard. Firefox is really taking its time to load compared to Opera. Anyway, Opera is certainly a refreshment to browsers today in my opinion.

Today, trying to watch FLASH video on youtube, and oops, there was no sound. After searching Google, it seems a package called libflashsupport was missing. After installing it, everything works fine. I guess this is one of these moment which APT isn't 100% reliable.
