FlashGet never was spyware, and used to contain ads many years ago. They've since removed the ads and have made FlashGet free. The latest versions of FlashGet (1.8x) kinda... suck, but I still have 1.73, so I'm good

Suck how? I don't really see much difference between 1.73 and 1.8x, other than the bittorrent support (seems like every program supports it these days) and new icons.
As for Opera, I've played around with it a bit today, and while there are some things that simply can't be done right now with it, I think I'll give it a shot. I haven't seen any image loading slowness or compatibility issues that GM mentioned in the other thread so far, and Wand works better with vbulletin forums than my previous password manager. But it's hard to say if the change is permanent. The biggest thing that bothers me is the lack of several middleclick options/features. I'm so used to middle-clicking on bookmarks to open them on the background that it's ridicilous.

It's actually (mostly) the BitTorrent stuff that's annoying me in the newer FlashGet. I prefer to use µTorrent (even though I rarely ever torrent anyhow, TBH), and naturally, attempted to disable BitTorrent support in FlashGet. No can do -- apparently, it continues attempting to connect to DHT, regardless of what I select. Aside from that, I don't think you can't control how many jets are running per job on the fly anymore (at least I didn't see it in the context menu for the jets pane).

I've never tweaked with it much, so I don't even know what you mean by jets. Now I have come to a conclusion that mouse in general is kind of weird in Opera. What each click does isn't very consistant overall. For example, middle click. On normal link it's configurable, on bookmark it doesn't do anything, and on bookmark panel it opens a new tab in front. I personally expect one action and one action only, regardless of where i click it. A link is a link is a link, even if it's in the bookmark menu. Shift click and ctrl shift click is almost the same, expect that they only work differently on the panel. And they are not configurable. Not easily anyway, as changing the actions of the two main mouse buttons from the inis can easily end up breaking something else they are supposed to do. And as I'm mostly a mouse browser, I'm not sure if I can get used to abandoning middle click and ctrl click.

Agreed, but I guess it doesn't bother me so much, as I didn't really notice that it was behaving differently until you brought it up xD

Hehe. Yeah, it has got more to do with what I'm (and some other people too, browsed some my.opera forums yesterday) used to than anything else I suppose.
