Hi mark i wonder which version of opera you tried out?
reason i ask is that the latest stable and rc versions (5 & 6) run well at pesky fscked up sites - if i really need to get whatever it is that one of those #@&*%^$! sites has then it's opera that i turn to when moz fails. mind this doesn't happen as often as it used to, though whether that's because of moz learning to work with bad bad nasty bad pages or me just not going to such i don't really know. and then everyone's mileage varies so maybe it doesn't work for you? opera at such sites i mean. anyway cheers pre ================================== On Tue, 11 Dec 2001 10:41:23 +1300 Mark Tomlinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > No, not a browser war! > > I wonder how much Linux gets a bad name for being "useless on the desktop" > when its browsers won't work with the websites out there.
