I hope it has cookie support. Otherwise, there's somthing kinda scary
aboutthis COOKIES.DAT in my user directory!
Seriously, I have Opera 3.60 and it works beautifully. It has JavaScript with
an amazing feature: You can have JavaScript on for all the cool onmouseover
stuff, but you can shut off window create so those stupid banners don't pop-up!
Of course, that makes Net@ddress not work correctly, but it's a good trade-off.
It also can use Netscape compatible plug-ins. Including Sun's Java Plug-in for
full Java support!
The only trouble is the short-sighted plug-in authors that make the setup
programs have to detect that Netscape is there before installing. Not that I
use any plug-ins, anyway...
It's really worth getting. Even if you don't have a problem with NS/IE's
Hard-drive clogging, slow loading or constant crashing.
I can't wait for 4.0!
