I don't know why Versiontracker sent me here when I want to comment on Opera 6 as I run OS 9.1, but that's nothing I can do about. Can't say so much about the technical aspects of this version as I am not that technically oriented, but as an ordinary user, there are a couple things which isn't so good: all my bookmarks from version 5 is gone! Haven't been able to import from IE, either. Tried to import from Opera 5, but it only showed the same list as comes with 6, so prefs were changed automatically. That should be the other way round. Very irritating. Might be some solution to it, hidden in some FAQs, but one shouldn't have to search for solutions in such a simple matter. Another simple matter - and a detail, perhaps - is the font size in this text field. It's diminutive! I have put the minimum font size to 12, but obviously it hasn't any effect on these text fields. Another detail to be searched for in FAQs? Shouldn't have to be this small when size is 100% and one shouldn't have to search FAQs. Scrolling pages appears to be very jumpy and not smooth at all. And what about that screen at start up?`Seems like a non-paying user can't opt not to have it there. That's a poor way to convince people to buy! It just convinces me of the opposite. I don't like to be put pressure upon. Make it worth buying and I buy. The GUI is better than I feared after looking at a couple of the betas, but it is still too Windows-like. 2,5 stars would have been on the spot, but as Opera was good, I lean to be more positive, but I hope you will make some improvements soon and that version 7 will bring back Opera for Mac as one of the best out there. I am afraid that it can't be said about this version...
