Opera8 has won me over... Corrections, additions

Well, Opera has won me over as my default browser.

I discovered that there IS find-as-you-type built-in to Opera. Simplytick off the "enable inline search" box on the preferences page andyou're set. From then on, just hit CTRL-F to search for any matchingtext or , to search for links only and you're intoinline/search-as-you-type mode. Just like Firefox. Granted, you dohave to hit one more key, but it's not a function key so you can do itwithout looking. ;~j

I also overlooked the awesome notes feature built into the browser.See something you like on the web? Select it, hit CTRL-SHIFT-C ratherthan CTRL-C, and it automagically saves it and the original URL youpulled it from to a note. Your notes are instantly searchable usingthe same instantaneous search/filter feature as with email and RSSfeeds.

I still wish Onfolio were integrated with Opera - I love its newspaper view -- but this is not technically possible. But this isless of a deal-killer than I originally thought. I think I can probably get by using Opera's built-in RSS reader and then capturing content to Notes and/or saving them the "old fashioned way", thensearching them using a desktop search tool, rather than Onfolio.

Opera is also a FANTASTIC browser for those who do web development. It enables you to easily figure out how your web page will performagainst web standards, with various browsing featuresenabled/disabled, on small-format browsers, with images disabled, etc.But, then again, most people who do web dev already know this.

I also forgot to mention gestures. There most common mouse gestures are built in: Such as hold right button, click-left to to move back a page.

I also discovered the "browse to parent directory" (aka the "up" directory command): CTRL-BACKSPACE. Very nice.

For those interested in evaluating Opera deeply, you really shouldread a couple of fabulous tutorials: The Opera7 tutorial (still mostly relevant to Opera8) and the Opera8 tutorial.
