TEARS OF JOY!

nice work

@librano 2 days later... Wow! Opera 10.60 beta is really good. Fast, stable, feature rich... It seems like the perfect balance between Firefox's gazillion addons and and Chrome's speed... Actually, in real use, I think it matches both at their strong points. No official 64bit Flash... no problem, Opera has nspluginwrapper built in.

There are a few niggles... but this is a beta. I think I'll be using it a lot more often.

@kakita123 You know I haven't tried Opera in a long long time. It felt a little 'clunky' the last time I tried it... Right now I'm using both Firefox and Chrome... so now is as good a time as any to tinker with Opera... Thanks!

*Goes off to look for Qt4 / KDE4 version of Opera in AUR*

@librano whats the problem with opera dude?

[librano]

@j800r Yes, there are many excellent browsers but they are all GTK based. I use Firefox. There just isn't a native KDE or at least Qt browser that is on par with Firefox.

P.S. I also have Chromium, but far too many sites cause break it.

[j800r]

@librano I use Google Chrome. Couldn't ask for better. Still in beta (on linux) and it's already flawless.

[librano]

KDE is in dire need of a solid browser. Konqueror, Arora and reKonq just do not cut it.

I agree with everything you said. Devs should just use Qt and be done with it. Sadly they don't, just because "everyone's doing Gtk".

and also all the widgets are obivously different, and ugly!

can anyone please inform me as to why do i have to put up with all this inconsistency? why can't i use my favorite gnome apps in kde and have a decent experience? (i'm not blaming kde, i'm blaming gtk but correct me if i'm wrong) I have more than one computer and on one of my computers i have a gnome desktop installed... i can use ktorrent and vlc and other kde/qt apps in gnome and they look just like gnome (maybe except the icons)

[sauron1grenoble]

qt aps that just use qt and not kdelibs look perfect by default in gnome, and kde apps also can be set to look really good in gnome in the system settings appearance dialog but there is no real integration with gtk apps in kde. i mean both suse and kubuntu use the same qtcurve theme that makes gtk look kind of like qt but not really.i find it really ugly! first of all it's missing the cool gradient oxygen has that matches the gradient in the titlebar (mostly visible if you disable those stripes)

I'm using it in Arch and can't help but hope for inclusion of this in Mozilla's trunk :)
