I'd be interested in giving Opera a try, but as a long-term Firefox user, I'd would need to be able to import all my old bookmarks to Opera and also to synchronise them automatically between my desktop and laptop. Can Opera do this?

I think even IE can do that

I was impressed how seamlessly Opera 11 took and arranged my bookmarks out of FF without even asking. This is starting to look like a very sophisticated and viable alternative to what is, sadly, becoming an increasngly stodgy FF.

absolutely agree Badger/ I am in love with Opera 11 ! FF: I will give you a chance -- with FF 4 - but the beta sucks! You have been warned FF!

I just installed but will leave my IE in case. But I really really like it. Will try the extensions now.

They are quite comprehensive now, yes; I only have a few installed at the moment -- but it's a growing list

...and extensions take immediate effect without browser restart - unlike FF

I quite like the GMail extension which lets you know when you have a new mail,saves you checking every now & again.

Looks good. Only took them 11 tries

Sticking with chrome for time being, find it a far bit quicker, but will replace ff as my backup browser.

Liking Opera again Free. It was just the script blocker I found annoying.

Does Opera have any extension that works as well as Ad Block Plus in FF? There seems to be a few that offer similar functions but they have mixed reviews at best.
