After using it for a while, this version of Opera has started to annoy me. After being open for a while, it starts to slow down on certain pages. At the moment, it’s failing to reload pretty much all the pages I have open. It’s just sitting with the progress bar open at 0% on several pages, including this one.
I’m writing this via Mozilla Firebird, which is a bit slower in general than Opera, but at least it continues to work.
I’ve had Opera 7.21 open since the 16th with no problems, and I’m making this comment in the same browser that’s been open.
I haven’t used the latest version of Mozilla Firebird, but when I used it before, it was quick, but had trouble rendering some pages. I finally got tired of it and haven’t gone back.
Hmm, maybe it’s some weird compatibility issue with my system. In any case, I find pages not loading to be a show-stopper, and Firebird has tab groups now, so I think I’m going to stick with it. It’s nice that we’ve got lots of very functional alternatives, eh?
So far, it is nice. The last version I tried crashed a lot, so I went back to a previous one. This one seems much more stable.
Other than my fonts getting smaller, I’m happy with it. The fonts look good, just a tad too small.
I didn’t notice fonts getting any smaller. They looked pretty small already compared to Mozilla and Konqueror, though.

Agreed. We should all have a moment of silence for the wretched days when Netscape 4.7x was the only option on Linux.
