Opera has rolled a feedreader (RSS and Atom) in with its mail and news client. So RSS messages, Usenet messages and e-mails can all be handled by the same filters and viewed in the same interface. Quite handy to drag an RSS message into the same view (Opera uses a GMail style view system rather than an old style folder system) as a bunch of e-mails - good for organising research type projects.

In general Opera is starting to take on a swiss army knife approach - as well as browsing, email, usenet and rss they also have an IRC client built in and a couple of tech previews had a BitTorrent client as well though that seems to have been put on the back burner for now.

The mail section uses so little extra code (as most of the GUI and most of the rendering engine is common with the browser) that it wouldn't make any difference to the main package to separate it, so they don't.

Yep, I use Opera for browsing. I'd need so many FF extensions to copy features that I use in Opera ... The only FF extensions I have installed on my FF testing browser are Wed Dev Toolbar and Colorzilla. Which ones do you think are "must haves"?

Oh! I hadn't noticed this till you said so, but you're quite right. Whatever next?

I've just got them on my friends list. No problems at all so far with Opera.

Yeah, I've been thinking of unsubbing from at least some of the RSS feeds and just checking my friends page instead. After all, do I really need a copy of every ffutures post delivered to my inbox? ;-)

Of course, subscribing to the RSS feeds does give one the ability to keep up to date with a journal without friending them which may be useful from time to time.
