Thanks Omar!
I am amazed at how good Opera 9.5 is. I installed it on all my machines and use it whenever I fell like it. Opera Soft has done a very good job with it, but I really can’t replace FF 3.0 with the “awesome bar!”
The “awesome bar” in Firefox is actually what stopped me from using Opera even part of the time. With the CyberSearch extension I find that I’m so much more productive than I ever was, and would hate to have to use any other browser.
