Only for those sites that decide to convert to using HTML5 - anyone still using Flash (and I guarantee that there will be more than a couple) will leave x64 users out in the cold.

YouTube has made the switch (kind of), so if you only used Flash for YouTube in the past, you can just get a x64 HTML5 supported browser and then switch to the HTML5 mode in YouTube. If you play Flash games, then stick with a x86 browser.

hopefully it comes with a less bug

With all that I bet the Bookmarks Toolbar still won't wrap. Something Opera has had for umpteen years!! (Please don't tell me about chrome file settings to get it to wrap. Every one I've tried causes you to lose your scrollbar if you resize the window.)

What do you mean wrap? I can't tell you the last time I used Opera.

I mean if you have a full toolbar of bookmarks and resize the window to make it narrower, you get 2 rows of bookmarks. It wraps instead of sticking '>>' on the right hand side.

afaik Opera is the only browser that does this smoothly with no side-effects.

This would be why I pick Firefox over all other browsers - b/c, to steal a cliche, there's an addon for that.

Plus, With Opera I have no 'manager' mode that I can start so I can pick profiles to use, nor can I move 100% of my profiles to a different location, meaning easier transitions - if I reinstall my OS / install a new OS, I simply install Fx, point it to my existing profiles on another disk, and POW! I am right where I was before, no installing of 50 plus addons, adding scripts, customizing userchrome, settng CSS settings, etc.

It's all just there.
