Using Opera again by happenstance, I have to say Opera is always quite amazing!

While Firefox and Google Chrome/chromium are quite nice, neither seem as polished as Opera.

maybe I'll take a break from Google Chrome/Chromium for a while and use Opera again.

to setup auto scrolling on opera
Hold down the shift key and press the middle mouse button. It will give you a dialog prompting the user what to do on middle click.
select panning, select horizontal.
it scrolls very smoothly

also check out opera unite to share files and host your own website off your own pc.

also my opera will give you 2gb free storage

Use Opera since 2x, also use it for mail, I use Chrome as my alternate backup, but primary browser remains Opera no matter what.

I've used Opera for years, and it's absolutely brilliant, always my browser of choice and a great thing about it is, it works on virtually every OS.

What do you mean by polished?

I use it on my Windows box right now, and I like the real estate it gives me, with the "tabs" being preview pics along the left side, and opening up to the speeddial page.

I like it as the "alternative", since it isn't quite as compatible with website as Firefox, but it pretty close.
