Cold, rainy day here so in order to distract myself from tidying my flat have downloaded Opera and am playing around with it. I like it a lot, very fast and I like the speed dial page but can't figure out how to make it default to my Yahoo mail for mailto links. It's easy in Firefox. Opera gives me the option of defaulting to a webmail service but only gives a choice of 3 I've never heard of. Doesn't seem to be a way of adding more. Any suggestions? Also anyone know if I can configure RSS feeds to drop down like firefox instead of opening in a new tab? Pity, so close to being better than firefox but despite the faster speed not quite there.

Just had a look at Chrome, found ad-block for it but not a script block (for the Flash ads). Just got the latest Firefox which I quite like, especially as I can browse 100% ad free with it.

Also it re-defaults to Google.ch (ie: results in German) to search even though I set google.com in English as my default.

its a feken pain, i cant work out how google works, sometimes it takes me 10 mins to get to google uk. i was chatting with colin on skype and he asked me to search for his site thru google even when i searched on google uk from ch and sent him the results page ( as a link) he got a diffrent set of pages returned at his end! it was tooooo much for my litle mind.

In Firefox I've set an exception to allow cookies from google.com and block cookies from google.ch and that works fine.

found this highly customisable speed dial add-on for firefox which combined with version 4 improvements puts Firefox back on top for me. Opera a close second and didn't like Chrome much at all tho didn't spend much time with it.
