I also made a patch last week to lower the tabs on opera 10, So they are below the nav buttons, which made it more natural feeling
Its too bad the preferences don't let you do that.

Not got a particular favourite. Opera 10 is loads better than previous versions, but it is still a bit slow at loading pages. Actually sometimes it is still very slow (this forum for instance), and font sizes can be tiny for no good reason. Apart from that it's ok...
Firepup is good (using it now) - but can't stand that constipated-mutant-Pudsy-from-hell icon.

Hey thats my borg-puppy icon lol
just change the icon, go to user/share/applications/firepup.desktop and right click on it and where it says icon, just change the location to some other icon and that will fix your menu icon
to fix your desktop icon, just right click on the icon and select 'File Browse' Set icon and then drop a icon in the popup box and then you should be good :wink:

Not sure I should touch it. Looking a bit meaner at the moment. I think I've upset it!

I'll leave it to others to comment ...

I notice references (in the reader comments) to RequestPolicy and Peer Guardian, with neither of which am I familiar. Any experience/views on these?
