Opera browser

[Paul F. Schaffner]

Jenny Reiswig asks:

No, we've had too many problems with it on private PCs to risk it on the
public ones. Most seriously (and I would be glad to be corrected on any 
of these!):

o It seems to fail to honor common CGI routines, e.g. page counters.
o It often aborts a page-load mid-stream.
o It cannot handle long URLs (?? -- try a metacrawler search and see what
  you get -- for me it always complains about an unknown MIME type and
  refuses to display the metacrawler search response without configuring
  a new application).

Version tried: Opera 2.12 for Win 3.1.
