Howz opera, ive been on it since eternity !!!

TBH, Opera was at one time the browser I used to use because it was so much better than Firefox in terms of load speed and it had a lot of cool features. Right now though a lot of simple websites like gmail aren't working properly for me(well, its been about 6-8 months since I've tried it last) so I continue to use Firefox plus it uses Qt libraries on linux while I run Gnome on a daily basis.

So you don't have to install KDE libraries & stuff:hatsoff::hatsoff:
