Is Opera still going? gasp

I still remember Netscape Communicator 4, totally bloated heap o' rubbish. IE went so much better after that.

Or was it NC5?

Absolument. It's the only real alternative to Chrome on Android (cos the Android version of Firefox doesn't work properly).

I vaguely remember it went over to a Chrome based engine, or something.

I used to like Opera on W*ndows.

I was just going through the mounds of paperwork, I'd shoved to the back of a wardrobe, And I've just got around to ~~dealing with~~ chucking out; A Letter from free.net plc telling me to use the attached CD for their new service starting 16th April 1999, it's got I.E. v4.01 on it, ooh! They've got 56K/V90 access throughout the UK & Northern Ireland, at only 0845 local rate!

Kwel.

They've done something to Chrome. Now, when you hold your cursor over the tab on the top left, the name of the site/page appears in a pop-up box, in bold letters. I don't like it. bawl
