After seeing a screenshot of Brett using Opera I decided to try it. Awesome! Downside, no google toolbar?

Yes, sad, isn't it.

Hey GoogleGuy, think we could donate to a Toolbar for Opera fund?

The nice thing though is the customizable right click search options. Double click to highlight a word, then right click and you get the search engine options. You can edit search.ini (laz has a page on that - which I can't find at the moment) to cusomize it.

All that means, www2/3 and your favs like the WebmasterWorld sit search all right there. I put them all on there like wisenut, teoma...etc

Brett, I dont have to right click. The double click shows search options right away for me.

I forgot you can turn that off Mac. Prefs->accessiblity->uncheck 'hotclick menu'.

OK, I guess I am pretty satified with default settings. I really like that you also can highlight a phrase and right click for a search.

I hadn't bothered to look at any of those menus before just now. Thx Brett, for showing how to turn that "feature" off. I thought my mouse was just flaking out.

Also on this right click menu, you'll find: Search(default SE), Search with(pick a SE), Dictionary, Encyclopedia, and Translate.

It doesn't have to be a double-click to select the words either. Just highlight a few words, and that special menu is available.

F12 key / w

I don't get it? F12 and forward slash w, or at the same time? I can't think of the site where I needed it so I can't test it right now...

Also, has anyone tried the new mozilla browser or phoenix (they're different, right?)...

May as well try em all now..

Any google toolbar for moz?

Sorry for the slash. Press the f12 key. Do you see a menu?

AFAIK the Google tool bar with page rank in it is only available to MSIE on Windows.

Ah. thankyou..

OK, last one..any reason to "identify as MSIE"?

I believe it is to pass trought some 'sniffer JavaSripts' some wiz kids place on their Web pages. Those scripts are usually for either Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, and other browsers may be denied access to the Web page.

Changing User agent let you pass trought.

Some places determine the browser your using and send different html.
Citibank and Bellsouth come to mind... Citibank sends different code by browser. Bellsouth(their access my account thingie) just stops you cold, if it doesn't like your UA.
