Opera looks pretty good, thank you! Fast. I downloaded & installed it. Of course I have not run it around the track yet. I am actually nothing of a power user but I often have lots of windows open.....like 20? And Excel and some trading platforms.

The FlashCrash thing with Chrome has been getting a little more common of late, not overly irritating, just slightly irritating. But I know it is a very long-running issue. And they apparently can’t fix it. So we’ll see. I’ll have to adjust some things like basic font sizes but that’s gotta be simple and I will go scout it out. Thanks again!

Yeeesh!! I discovered a crazy thing in Opera that might kill its utility for me. I am still kind of wondering if I am hallucinating this.

I trade stocks a lot and often take a screenshot of a chart, paste the screenshot or partial screenshot into Paint, draw an arrow that says “see this?”, recapture the annotated chart with my arrow in it, then paste that into an email and send it away.

The screenshot pgm I use is called MWSnap which is freeware and pretty popular and highly regarded. There are others.

So with Opera...at least preliminarily....I can capture the screenshot. And copy it into Paint. But I can’t capture the resulting image! And I can’t capture an image from an email and paste it into ANYTHING else. It LOOKS like it’s working...but nothing comes out of “paste”.

Still working on this. Let you know.
