I already use Opera for a few years now and am still very fond of it (despite the fact some pages still do not render properly, but hey ... being a web developer I am also aware of the fact a lot of people and companies do not build web pages in a way it looks properly on most browsers anyway. But after upgrading to 9.5 today it still works very fast with me and I see no delay in loading pages (yet). The new look and feel is not my favorite too, but I always used another skin anyway so I will do so again (though it looks like the site containing the skins has some difficulty at this moment). All in all I do not see any noticable problems so far.

I think this was ment more for hardware crashes (or for instance when you updated Windows and it restarts by itself .. a very very annoying feature IMHO)

Definable with a default option filled in ;)
