Opera 8 was released today, and I must say it’s about time 🙂 They’ve simplified the interface immensely, so as to not intimidate the n00bs, although I’m sure it’s not dumbed-down enough; don’t worry, for us power-users it still has all the bells and whistles there ‘in back’. But with voice, SVG, and User Javascript support (ala GreaseMonkey), it’s one of their bigger releases. The full changelog is on their site, I’m merely passing by them here….but it’s actually been getting decent response, even on Slashdot (believe me, that’s ‘decent’ for how /. normally looks upon non-Firefox products.

I can’t say I’m too impressed by their new ‘marketing’ on their website, er, the images that is. Some poor man’s superhero? Come on, paying customers demand more….

Still kicks the crap out of Firefox, though!

Oh, yeah, guess I should mention, Firefox 1.0.3 was released last week. Not much outside of security fixes…
