Opera 8.5 vs Opera 9.b

DO NOT turn this thread into a flame thread against any or all browsers. I use all three (Firefox Opera and IE) depending on what I need done.

Just wondering if anyone had the chance to try Opera 9b, and if it's any better than 8.5?

I'm hesitant about the whole bittorrent integration into the bowser.

Also what are your opinion on the Widgets? They sound like an Extension type deal, and would be a welcome addition to Opera.

Thanks.

Until it crashes or you need to remove some spyware.

No, you don't have to browse the registry on Windows.  You (usually) get a (sometimes) bug-free poppin' fresh graphical eye-candy-oriented interface that costs you $29.99 and up, just to modify settings that in Linux you can do with a text editor.  (In before piracy, lol closed-source)

Yes, running multiple versions of a program on Linux is bad.  But it's not something you should be doing on any operating system unless you're a developer.  Which you're obviously not.

Furthermore, Linux isn't profit-driven.  We DON'T NEED the stupid people.  If you are too stupid to figure out things or ask for help properly, expose your ass to Bill Gates and receive the exploitation you deserve.  Linux has always been about intelligent and technical minded people coming together to create a better product than one that a beaurcratic business model creates.  Knowledge and intelligence will power and win this fight, not herd mentality.  I've run into many problems with Linux, but I've always perservered, asked questions, and have been willing to learn.  The payoff has been spectacular.  Whereas with Windows, you only learn enough to survive until your next reinstall. </thread>
