Missing stuff

The new ad blocker is very hard to use. You can't afaik just right click on a banner, select "block these", refine the url string a bit and get rid of them eternally. The new feature on the newest Opera version seemed to be very hard to use and get to working well. Firefox+Adblock 1, Opera 0.

Also opening all the selected links on tabs is still awkward. Instead of painting with mouse and a handy right click and selection you will have to activate side bar and do all kinds of trickery. Firefox+Linky 1, Opera 0.

Leeching all the files of certain type from galleria pages, ftp sites and such is a matter of right click with my Firefox. It's background non-intrusive stuff with automatic sorting and re-naming and stuff. With Opera that stuff can get really painful. Firefox+Downthemall 1, Opera 0.

Okay, let's get back to the viability of even attempting to use Opera again at the version 10. I'm sticking with Firefox.
