[...] Sadly, Opera’s new (mostly awesome) 10.00 Beta does not have this availability. If I am to guess, I would say that it has to do with their philosophy of running all the browser windows inside the main browser, something I have complained about before. [...]

Regarding in-page search, press “/” and type what you are looking for. Press F3 to go to the next result. This is a really cool feature.

One more thing, I just wrote an article about Oepra’s usability, you may be interested in it – it covers the behaviour of the tab bar when many tabs are open, and when the computer has a wide screen.

Hello,

Sorry to hear that you find Flock 0.9.0.2 terribly unstable. Have you downloaded 0.9.1.2? We’ve fixed several major performance issues. I would love to know if you’re still experiencing issues; we may be able to work with you to hunt down the problem.

Flock on,

As much as I hate bloated browsers that crash my machine (*cough* IE *cough*), it’s hard to give up convenience and usability when the web takes up so much of our computing life. I’d guess that 70% of my work on the PC is done through a browser; any company trying to get me to switch is going to have to prove why they’re better.

Henrik,

Thank you very much for the reply. Regarding the detachable tab, I’d love to be given the choice of whether I’d like the tab/window detachable or not. If it’s initial state isn’t detached it isn’t such an issue, however, I’d like to be able to detach it and treat it as a separate window.

Thanks again,
Peter
