My Opera
Another one bites the dust

Now that Opera has discontinued support for anything PowerPC I'll have to go look for a new browser sooner or later - I'm certainly not going to fork over some hard earned money just to get an Intel Mac, at least not as long as I have perfectly adequate PowerPC boxes.
Either way, Safari grew support for extensions lately and guess what's there - session saving and ad blocking, a selective flash blocker and a whole lot of other things. For mouse gestures there's CocoaGestures. Looks like Safari became a suitable replacement just in time - now let's see how long Apple can be arsed to produce PowerPC binaries. Should be at least till 10.7 comes out.
Otherwise, I'm getting rid of MacOS X altogether on the machines which Apple decided can't have 10.5 - NetBSD works well enough on those and I won't depend on Apple or Opera for anything.
