Opera 9.02 Released
Thursday, September 21, 2006 by Island Dog | Discussion: Windows Software
"Opera lets you surf the Internet in a safer, faster, and easier way. One of the most full-featured Internet power tools on the market, it includes pop-up blocking, tabbed browsing, integrated searches, and advanced functions like Opera's groundbreaking E-mail program, RSS Newsfeeds and IRC chat. You can customize the look and content of your browser with a few clicks of the mouse."

Miscellaneous

Anybody else noticing any strange behavior in the Galleries?
In some (not all) I end up needing to scroll down about 5 or 6 pages worth to get to the first list item.
