Complete Awesomeness

Just upgraded to Opera 9.6 this morning, and I've gotta say, it's a lot bigger of an upgrade that I thought I'd be.

The first thing I noticed when I used it was how much faster it was! They weren't lying when they chose "Making You Faster" to go on the banner. I normally don't notice anything that different when they say something like that, but it seemed to load my pages almost twice as fast! The new feature that I think I like the most is the RSS preview, that was one of the main reasons I still used safari as much as I do, now, I will pretty much be using Opera for all of my web browsing.

One new feature I would like to see in the next update though is the ability to sync wand preferences, that would pretty much eliminate every reason why I wouldn't use Opera. (although I already know I'm going to keep using it anyway, Opera Rocks! )

I also decided to show Opera 9.6 and Opera Mini to one of my friends who had just got a new phone. He had never really used mobile web browsing before because well, let's face it, most phones' existing browsers just plain suck. Anyways, I showed it to him, and he LOVED it! He loved the way his phone and computer browser stayed in sync using Opera Link, and right now, he's actually choosing to use his phone's browser instead of the computer!
