Since so many of you use Opera and like it so much, I decided to go ahead
and test it out. This thing is really fast! The interface is quite clean and
nice, and once I figured out how the cookie filter worked, I had no
problems. I can also do internet banking, which for some reason, iCab still
cannot do. 

However, there are several features I miss when comparing it to iCab:

(1) I cannot stop animation.
(2) I cannot filter banners, though I can load a page and click off all
graphics.
(3) I couldn't get anything with Java to function (tested out a Zone game
and Yahoo chat) and none of the plugins seemed to work.
(4) No drag-and-drop to save an image. An image can be saved through a
contextual menu, but the file appears in a proprietary form which I have to
use GraphicConverter to convert to a standard jpg or whatever.
(5) There is no easy way to change the font size of a displayed page, as
there is in IE or iCab. On http://lowendmac.com/techref/010508.html , I got
a strange dark blue background with black type: totally unreadable.

Iclean does not recognize any Opera files, so I had to delete history,
cookies, and cache by hand. I would assume Aladdin will do an update to
include Opera.
