I think I like Firefox+ImgLikeOpera+AdblockPlus better than Opera
Turbo. Speed seems about the same and I don't think there's an ad
blocker for Opera that's as good as Adblock Plus.
I wonder how much bandwidth I'm wasting by passing on Opera's code
compression. I'm only displaying cached images so the image
compression isn't helping.
Anyone else tried Opera Turbo?
