    So we are back to square one where we have to customize the app :D
    It's the motive that matters. Am I customizing to get something that I probably can't get anywhere else? (fun) Or am I customizing to work around annoying defaults? (not fun)

    And I think the users Opera need to target is those who leave IE and are looking for a new browser. Not the ones switching from Firefox.
    Could be. But I'm a bit sad that my prediction is coming true. I thought konqueror would become big, and it never happened. But now Chromium is out there and Opera just doesn't capitalize on these opportunities, it always gets left behind.

    I tried Chrome earlier on, its used to crash every single time. And I was annoyed by the frequently visited sites in place of speed dial. I don't want porn sites to be the first things someone sees when he/she opens my browser :D

    Exactly why I won't use Chrome as my default browser. :D
    I find Opera extremely dull. On my phone it's a fast browser but so damn dull and boring.
    That's actually a good thing. If the browser is dull, you'll concentrate more on the pages it loads. If the browser is pretty, you'll spend more time admiring the browser! :D

    Besides, it's a browser. Do you expect it to perform a lapdance for you while you browse? :D

    You do know that you can pin the sites that you want to be seen on the speed dial, right?

    Took the plunge and tried to use Chrome as my default browser. Imported bookmarks, installed mouse gestures and Adblock. So far, so good.

    Does Chrome have an integrated RSS client? Is there any way I can add a keyword for a search engine, like in Opera and FF? Can I get the start page to have a more Opera feel to it? Like assign the pages myself than let it auto-fill?
