Looking to change it up a little? Hey, change is good (imagine wearing the same pair of briefs everyday), and if you've got a hankering to shelve Firefox or Chrome for awhile and try something new, now is as good of a time as any. Opera Software just updated its Opera browser to version 10.63 with a new JavaScript engine that's supposedly 50 percent faster than in Opera 10.50.
The latest release also includes enhanced support for advanced Web standards, like HTML5 and WebM video, search suggestions for selected providers has been fine tuned, and Opera can now prompt you to share your location to make better use of geolocation-supporting sites.
In addition, Opera Software vaporized a box full of bugs, everything from goofiness with the user interface (no more Opera Link freezing on startup, for example) to a handful of security fixes.

So far so good, except for one problem- the CAPTCHAs for writing comments (only on this site) don't work. I'm using IE to comment on this...

Very good. Voice still works!
Regarding open new window: try ctrl+n (window) ~ ctrl+t (new tab) ~ vs. taskbar click (in Vista?). I am running Vista -- most browsers I've tried don't have this feature-- so, they are all broken for such a feature.

On my netbook Opera rules. Once started (my adblock list slows this) it rocks. I love the integrated mail. For some reason page rendering in Chrome is much slower.
