Opera 9.2 Speed Dial

Hi, i've updated my Opera browser. I would just say speed dial is

amazing.

It's the most useful caching system i've seen ever. You can set up to

9 web sites to be cached and updated regurarly: the result is an

incredible speed boost on that sites.

I would want to say something against Gecko forces: i see Firefox,

Thunderbird and the other gecko-based applications too heavy and less

powerful/featureful than Opera.

Ok, they have extensions, but the extensions they have are handled in

Opera in a better and lighter way. Also, Opera introduced widgets,

just a beginning toward plugging the browser.

Firefox and Thunderbird are about 30mb of download, Opera just 6 mb,

and this is important for my 56k for upgrades.

Gecko is open source, Opera's not... maybe this is the main reason why
