Just fetch the 64-bit .deb today and it work's fine and stable
though I always have "too many" tabs open.

But there seems to be an important feature missing I had with Opera
9.23 on 32 bits: Blocking content with right clicks (the equivalent to
Firefox' AdBlock plugin). Is that just missing in the alpha release or
is it gone forever?

BTW: I'm also missing the feed reader in 9.50 alpha 1. Klicking on the
feed icon just diplays the content of the XML without all the tags. I
hope that will change until 9.50 final, too. :-)

		Kind regards, Axel Beckert
