The main window is too cluttered, and the option to select header does not do the job. Each news-item should be presented in just three horizontal fields: 1) A clickable headline, 2) the subtext, and 3) date and time. Add an option for suppressing images in feeds (engadget is the worst example of image abuse; if you want to see the images, you can go to the web-site!), and I am back with Opera. PS I love the feed-reader in Opera Mini and hope Opera 9 for Windows Mobile will have something similar. Just add image suppression! I don’t want the same layout for news feeds as for e-mail.

Maybe Channels should be a separate option, considering the increased usage of news-feeds? Thanks, that option was concealed to me, since I never have used Opera for E-mail.

Though Feeds don't have their own panel, they are included in the mail panel under the category of "Newsfeeds".

There should be toolbar for feeds on the left side along with bookmarks, history, transfers etc.

Opera also had a integrated feed-reader before other browsers. Now, Opera leaves a smaller footprint than other browsers, and it would still be my preferred browser, if it had a better feed-reader. After using IE 7 and Firefox with Sage as feed readers for a while, I find it hard to go back to Opera. I monitor as much web-content as possible by feeds to cut down on distractions. I like to focus on just text before deciding to open a web-page. There should be toolbar for feeds on the left side along with bookmarks, history, transfers etc. I want to see if there is new items in any of the feeds I subscribe to with a quick glance, and then click on a feed to see the head lines and subtext in the main window. Opera needs to catch up on functionality and quick monitoring here. To ResearchWizard:

I greatly enjoy to have them integrated with my emails in M2. Daniel, there is another great feature that's not mentioned in the change log: animated gifs now work in Opera skins. Skin editors should read the according thread(s) in the Customize forum on my.opera.com and read Tomu's documentation on his TTT pages. Gaervern: What’s wrong with the feed-reader?

In my opinion, it's the best feature addition to Opera in a while (no, I never used the Start Bar). I'm glad they finally released this as a beta. It means that there's finally an RPM package for my laptop... ;) I love the Speed Dial. In my opinion, it’s the best feature addition to Opera in a while (no, I never used the Start Bar).
