Anyone knows if there are debs for version 0.6?

I'm building it in my PPA at the mo. Will let you know how it goes.

Seems to work really well.

Yip, try for yourself.

Google V8 benchmark of 920...versus FF 200 or so.


Use it with Privoxy and you got a winner.

Wonder how it'll stack up with the new Opera 10? I tried the alpha last year on my Windows machine and it absolutely flew. Now I'm a linux convert 9.64 doesn't seem as fast as the previous release, FF3 seems to be quicker than Opera, but not enough to make me change from the O

Way faster than Opera on Linux, 9 or 10. Opera for Windows is far better written than for Linux. It is also native Qt4 for 64bit-which is something Opera refuses to do....it is also far lighter. Win. Win. Win.

Anybody done a comparison between this and Midori?

Using Midori now and its got quite stable in the last few days. Still need to get Flash working with it though.

Flash works fine in Arora.

[steeleyuk]

Yea, Flash works fine with Webkit. Its just I haven't gotten it working with Midori yet. Using the Flash 10 64-bit rather than the one from the repo's.

Flash just worked for me in Arora, I'm running the 64bit version that I manually installed in Firefox.

I was a huge Opera fan when I first began using it, last couple of upgrades have been pretty disappointing and now I'm finding some sites won't even load for me using it. Been trying all night to get into Launchpad, but no go. I thought it may have been an issue with the site, but just tried it with FF and had no problem. May have to swallow my pride and go back to the fox I'm thinking
