I've heard recently from people at Opera who are very keen to ensure that it works well on FreeBSD, so it makes sense to help them.

It tends to handle flash video (google video) better. I currently have native opera. It just takes a few second longer to see the flash video. It does not bother me...but it may bother others. Try both ( one at a time ) and see the difference for yourself. note: I don't use KDE...don't know if that might make a difference in resource loads. -- Alexander FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE i386 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I'm using the native FreeBSD version with flash and that works great, so I can only recommend it. Also in my case FF constantly crashed when opening a site whith flash. Until recently only the linux-opera had flash support, but now they both have.
