    I use Opera most of the time, with Firefox as standby

    What I like about Opera, apart from those already mentioned, is the ability at one click to turn off images. Great when visiting advert infested sites, or even MSE dare i say?

  • Another reason why I stopped using Opera is that it didn't allow me to install a Google toolbar. I use my Google Bookmarks both at home and at the office - it is so handy that they are synchronised wherever I am.

    Can any Opera users advise me please if this facility is now available in the latest version?

    It will be in v9.5 (Kestrel) from what I've read. You'll need to set up an Opera community account, and your bookmarks get stored via that.

    I just use the google browser sync extension in Firefox for managing my bookmarks, cookies etc... and syncing them between pc's. It too is the main reason why I haven't moved back to Opera. I tend to cut back on extensions these days, but syncing is a must .There are probably ways of doing so with the current version, but I've not looked. Am waiting for nice inbuilt functionality.
