Maybe this gtk version also adds the functionality to just use the systems theme! I hope so. Cos the opera renderengine is darn good, but its interface just sucks. Yeah ur right.

A millisecond faster java performance means diddly squat to me. Sure it will become more and more important as the internet becomes more and more a desktop replacement, but the idea that I'm gunna switch to another browser anytime soon because lab tests say its faster is a joke. In the grand scheme of things that is pretty low of the list of priorities compared to good ad blocking, good bookmark and history management etc. I don’t understand everyone’s obsession with speed.
