Kahrn, Opera 8 does not have ad-block. It has a pop-up blocker, which is different from the Ad-Block extension for Firefox.
This topic is about opera 9, hence the title Opera 9.

Yes, I saw 9.0 BETA has ad-block. I am referring to 8.5. It's about time that Opera created ad-block. Firefox has had it for some time now....
What beta? I only knew of a technical preview. a technical preview is very different from a beta stage...
Sorry, I meant \"technical preview.\" Josh's main reason right now for not switching to Opera from Firefox is because of lack of features like Ad-Block. Once 9.0 comes out fully, I'm sure he might consider giving Opera a try.

kahrn, am I correct in assuming that a technical preview means that it is a final product, but not released to the public yet? Just in case any major bugs emerge?
You only release a BETA when you are sure it has all the features you want it to have. BETA is pretty much final, but with small bugs. Major bugs should be found by the developers.
Technical preview is just to show off, and is not supposed to be used full time. If you find bugs, chances are they have already been found by the developers.. the features can change alot from the tp to the final, add alot of features might be added. For instance, opera tp1 is alot different to tp2.

Exactly. I will definitely give it a try when 9.0 comes out. It is starting to look better and better. But, Firefox 2.0 will be out soon, which might keep with FF.

Earlier you said it was using 20MB, now you are saying it's using 200? Well, either way, it cannot use more than you assign to it in the preferences (in all opera versions, not just 9.)
You can even restrict it to using just 1MB of ram, or none at all. The only way it'd use 200MB is if you allowed it too.
