Re: [orca-list] Opera browser

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

One more thing, as always, or at least for a long time, oppera has it's web-servers that can be used to relay 
web content 
in a compressed form that cn significantly help those with bandwidth caps and or slow connections. 
This browser has not received the respect it probably deserves  for innovation, and or just plain including 
features that 
people want. 
It has apparently failed misserably in latest release with many users by removing botha normal modern 
bookmarking feature, 
and the integrated email and torrent clients. 
No clue why it effected seamonkey, but I could not really use seamonkey a few years ago when Itried with 
vinux3.x and an 
older orca.
