I think I like Firefox+ImgLikeOpera+AdblockPlus better than Opera |
| 15 |
Turbo. Speed seems about the same and I don't think there's an ad |
| 16 |
blocker for Opera that's as good as Adblock Plus. |

I wonder how much bandwidth I'm wasting by passing on Opera's code |
| 19 |
compression. I'm only displaying cached images so the image |
| 20 |
compression isn't helping. |

Anyone else tried Opera Turbo? |
