The Norwegian browser "Opera" is now available in version 4.0b1 for Linux - the webpage has a nice list of known problems, the last of which is:

It crashes now and then, and there is a memory leak problem

At least they're honest about it! :-)

So far it looks quite good! There are a lot of annoying beta-things:

• Cardinal sin:The "Back"-button isn't located to the far left of the toolbar - I keep hitting "New"!!
• Doesn't remember windows-size
• Doesn't remember wich toolbars are turned on and off
• Forgets other parts of preferences.
• Can't set bookmark to a file://-url
• Turning on cache in memory crashes
• What's up with that window-in-window-thing?!
• Isn't very good at Javascript (I think, try the D-A-D Chat - it works nicely on Opera/Windows)

Other than that, it looks good. I'm using the version that has QT statically linked in, since I don't have QT installed (don't need it for anything but Opera) on Debian, for which Opera Software proveded a package - cool!
