Anyone had a chance to test out Opera 9 yet? It has been several years since I played around with Opera, but it seems like they have done a good job with opera 9.

Some interesting things available in Opera 9:

Built-in bit torrent. Just click on the link and start downloading.

Add your favorite search engines.

Tailor each site in terms of cookies, security and other options on a site by site basis.

Improved rich text editing

Thumbnail previews on tabbed windows

Widgets (Small web applications that impact the entire desktop experience)

Saved sessions (I have this as an extension on firefox and love it. If I crash or close down all my windows and tabs are saved)

Plus a lot more. Check it out and www.opera.com

Looking at the widgets page: http://widgets.opera.com, it looks like it might be pretty useful down the road. They have some games, newsreaders and clocks right now.

Never really played with Opera - but I have to admit, I've never really felt I had a reason to try it.

Am I missing out on anything? Are there any dedicated Opera users here who will persuade me otherwise?

I used opera 9beta . That is a great browser.
It looks quite heavy interface so I dont like to use opera more.

You aren't missing out anything except that it amazes you how well it works when compared to Firefox, which is slow and lousy, and to know IE is not alone in the browser world is also something.
