Probably a bit OT, but out of boredom I decided to give the newly released Opera 9.51 a spin - and I am pleasantly surprised. It's even way faster than FF3 and the font rendering is totally awesome. As I am developing quite some web-based stuff at work their new Dragonfly Debugger/Inspector is a good substitute for Firebug and the myopera.com integration supplies the much needed bookmark synchronisation between machines that Foxmarks handles on Firefox. -- Greetings, Gordon. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
