Google Chrome Interface in Opera

I like the interface of google chrome very much, Is it possible for opera to do the same thing, I dont want any toolbar on the top and even the status bar appears when the user hovers to any link.

I've noticed some weird things with the link-url-popup.css (at least my tweaked one). Scrolling through some links on the page makes a load of popups overlay, i.e. it doesn't refresh quick enough.

Also, on some images that are also links, hovering over the image makes the element jump around (the page) a bit.

Anyone else seen this?

You can test it while you're still customising: just put the cursor over a link and you'll see the url pop up where you put the status field.


Simply great solution for me. I could disable the tooltips that, although useful, come on top of images, text, etc., on pages, and cannot be configured (delay, show time) and still have the info that I need, when I need it, with no extra clicks. Thanks!

OK, but the question is, did CHrome put the ad there? Are you blocking it with Opera? Is the site randomly loading the banner ad?
