Opera 9.5 and Netvibes

The latest version of the Opera web browser, version 9.5, was released a few weeks ago. I tried it and I have a generally good opinion of it but at that time I could not use it with Netvibes, my internet start page. Whenever I tried to log-in to Netvibes with Opera it would crash. Today on the Opera forums I found a work-around. Here it is: click the remember box when signing in. After you enter your user name and password, click the sign-in button and then quickly close the browser before it crashes. When you re-start Opera and go back to Netvibes you should be loged in.

Does this mean Opera is now my main web browser? No it lacks a few things I want (mainly spell check) but otherwise it is an excellent web browser.
