I also turn flash on in the browser when not needing it for a specific purpose and am very pleased with the speed results.

Another tip for Opera (or minimo if you use it) is to create an html file with your favorite sites in it and use it for your home page. I have my links sorted and listed in three columns. Makes if very fast to get to my usual places and I can use the same home page for minimo.
By adding a target="_blank" to each a href you can make those links open in new windows.

Edit the file /home/user/.opera/opera.ini
and change the lines to
Max Connections Server=32
Max Connections Total=64
So yeah, use these settings if you want to screw over the people that are serving your data and if you want to keep other people out and if you want more and more sites to go pay-only.

Even though those values are a bit extreme, you can get great improvements even with using 16,32 values. Also, I recommend modifying the input.ini to use page up and page down for the dpad. I also configured dpad middle button to page down.

You can also reduce Opera's ram usage by half, by setting "Avoid_flicker = 0"

when using the built in browser opera with yahoo mail, after I read a message when I click on the button to mark the mail as unread, it does not work. With minimo the function works, but I think the opera browser has a better look to it. Any way to fix this in opera by changing its appearance to IE or something else?

Newbie question: How can I edit that file?
Thanks!
I keep the following text note in my documents folder so at least the directions get backed up.
1. Copy opera.ini to the "Documents" directory (which is visible from the file manager). If you give the copy a .txt extension, you'll be able to open and edit it in Notes:
(Cut and paste this command in xterm after you become root)
cp ./.opera/opera.ini ./MyDocs/.documents/operaini.txt
2. When you've made the changes you want, make sure that Opera is closed and copy the results back:
(Cut and paste this command in xterm after you become root)
cp -f ./MyDocs/.documents/operaini.txt ./.opera/opera.ini
Note: Shamelessly ripped from part of artkavanagh's post.
Here is a tip for getting the Opera browser running much faster.
Edit the file /home/user/.opera/opera.ini
and change the lines to
Max Connections Server=32
Max Connections Total=64
This gives Opera an incredible boost to speed. You can use other values here but the default values made me feel I was on a 14.4 modem
I also turn flash on in the browser when not needing it for a specific purpose and am very pleased with the speed results.
The only thing that would be better is to make every link open an new window so I'd never have to use the back button.
Another tip for Opera (or minimo if you use it) is to create an html file with your favorite sites in it and use it for your home page. I have my links sorted and listed in three columns. Makes if very fast to get to my usual places and I can use the same home page for minimo.
By adding a target="_blank" to each a href you can make those links open in new windows.
I also set Minimum Font Size=16 in the opera.ini file and it makes pages a lot easier to read making the main text area easier to read (got that from another post in this forum).
