I’ve got Opera 10.10 right now. I’ve not tried 10.50. Without decent adblocking or js control, I don’t know if there’s a point in trying it(for me, I know that many don’t need that). With the incredibly devout community behind the browser, I’m absolutely flabbergasted that nobody has seen fit to write a single decent addon for either need. I literally found hundreds of posts concerning the desire of having it and not one single acceptable solution. Adsweep(when it’s not abandoned) doesn’t work worth a flip, as I often found myself on broken pages with no content because it didn’t know how to close an element in which it stripped an ad.

I’m using Swiftfox at the mo, and still dealing with the botched flash, locked ghost processes prohibiting a restart and disappearing navbar items.

I’m a patient man, however

have you tried Opera10.50 beta?

Yeah, it’s the Ubu provided ver. I’ve noticed while using Chromium that the flash problem persists, although seems to happen less often(the audio will disappear on all flash apps). The upside to Chromium/Iron/Chrome is that you can exit the app cleanly and restart within seconds while Firefox requires me to find the process and kill it. If I don’t, I’m just told that Firefox is still running.

I don’t think I’m going to be able to stick with Chromish browsers for the simple fact that I’ve grown too accustomed to a good ad blocker and the ability to selectively enable j/s. After browsing forums that use the contextual pop-up ads, keeping you from hovering your cursor over text while you read is more of a deal breaker for me than I would have initially thought.

I’m ever hopeful

by any chance using Firefox in Ubuntu by any chance? firefox3.7 does seem to be much faster an better than 3.6 an below

P.S, Nice Site by the way , i like the new Design
