I am running Vista Home Basic x64 and currently have Firefox 3.01 installed. I am intrigued by Opera 9.5 though, and I even quickly threw it on to give it a test drive.

First of all, and I know others will argue this, but I didn't think it was that much faster than Firefox, so I was a little disapointed there, though I did find it to be more stable. But I understand there are things you can do to make it browse faster, like some add-ons or extensions. Is that true?

Everything else, from the short time I viewed it seemed OK. But but one thing that did bug me was the search box. It's so small! Is there anyway to lengthen or stretch it out to a custom size?

That's all

Well Opera is Actually I suppose meant for lower speed net connections
For High Speed Firefox Is The Most Optmised Browser

We can customise with the help of plugins that shorten the delay with which the page is displayed.. and how many threads it actuually uses to surf

About the search box... naah I really don't have any idea:D
