Latest Opera Update
Has anyone who's got this noticed that Opera now used stupid amounts of memory?
When it loads, task-manager reports around 30mb being used (thats for 3/4 net windows and mail/news), but after any significant time, this rockets to 80 or 90, which is just absurd
Its incredible and all, and i'm pretty sure IE would be worse, but is there anyway (apart from restarting) to stop it?

I'll thrown an 'Opera is gay' response in.
The GUI takes up more room than I like, it has bugged out on various HTML constructs before now, it feels slow, stupid, and I don't particularly like the tabbed interface it defaults to.
What with it being gay, and all.
Note to Nodrog: These opinions are malformed and i'd appreciate your not blowing my opinions out of the water with your pro-Opera stance.
Cheers.

Due to mouse gestures, you can trim the interface down to the menu bar, address bar and the tab bar. Which means the interface is no bigger than the Internet Explorer one, but with tabs and with a Google/AllTheWeb/Lycos/Amazon.com/EBay/etc search bar, instead of without.

Mostly because the HTML in question itself is bugged in order to have it work properly in MSIE. Unfortunate, but hardly Opera's fault.
Pages load much faster in Opera than in other browsers.

I use mouse gestures in IE with StrokeIt, and have a Nod-esque layout for IE, there are multiple bugs that relate to non-HTML4.0 conformance which IE seems perfectly capable of complying with and pages don't noticeably faster, at least on my machine.
next?

Dear friends,
I formatted my c drive yesterday to install windows xp for the first time in 1.5 years. Being fearless and being bold, I downloaded Opera for the very first time to see whether it actually is any better than IE.
So far, it has functioned fine except for one tiny little issue. I use this web teletext page thingie to read up on the latest normal and sports news. It needs me to enter three digits, namely the three digits corresponding with the page I want to see.
Opera has the strange habit though to zoom into the page when I do just that and it is highly annoying.
Dear friends, please help me.
