Is it any better than the one included with AP4?

the AP4 version is excellent, the only thing missing is Flash Lite 3, but I guess we'll have to wait for the final version to get it...

having finally got hold of it and installed it, I'm finding it a bit more responsive, uses the newer skin style.

One thing I hope they do get done one day is the opera link bookmark thing.


Played with this for a bit it seems to shut down a bit better as well, the one included in ap5 seemed to have a memory leak if left running for a while.

We're working on the next beta release of AP5 which will have this new version of Opera in it. :)

I'm out...cya peeps soon.

This version let's me use Tengo software keyboard. Finally.

It exits quickly without causing my today screen to go blank without the plugin forever.

All the 'black letters on black buttons' problems are gone.

The software keyboard still pops up occasionally unless I disable Java script.
The problem of not reclaiming the space previously occupied by the keyboard them I toggle off the keyboard is solved though, so even if I have Java script left active is not a big deal anymore. (edit: spoke too soon. The unreclaimed space problem still happens once in a while)

Overall, I'm very satisfied with this browser. I think the battle with Netfront 3.5 is over.

As usual, I set my minimum overview zoom to 70% instead of the default 60, and I use large icon size. This allows me to clearly read web pages at the overview level and have working links without having to zoom in first.


Edit: The above setting is no good for bbc web page. Need more fiddling.
