Boy, what an experience. The interface took me a week to kind of get used to. I must say that Opera&#8217;s interface is not very intuitive at all, or as what UI designers would say, poorly conceived &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jnd.org\/dn.mss\/affordances_and.html\" target=\"_blank\">affordance<\/a>&#8220;. And then I had to deal with it sporadic crashes on random sites. Worst yet, I can&#8217;t download the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Daily_build\" target=\"_blank\">latest build<\/a> in hope they may have fixed the problem in one of the builds. That&#8217;s when one starts to appreciate Open Source software&#8230; You can always get nightly builds of your software of choice, and there&#8217;s always the chance one of the developers would have addressed the issue you are dealing with&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>Armed with Foxpos\u00c3\u00a9, I installed <a href=\"https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/extensions\/moreinfo.php?id=436\" target=\"_blank\">SessionSaver .2<\/a> (for Firefox 1.5, install <a href=\"http:\/\/adblock.ethereal.net\/alchemy.cgi\/SessionSaver\/\" target=\"_blank\">this version<\/a> instead), <a href=\"https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/extensions\/moreinfo.php?id=270&#038;application=firefox\" target=\"_blank\">Yahoo Companion<\/a> (the feature I missed the most on Internet Explorer) and <a href=\"https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/extensions\/moreinfo.php?id=138&#038;application=firefox\" target=\"_blank\">StumbleUpon<\/a>, I am going to try to use Firefox 1.5 full time for a while to see how the new version fares on memory management.
