new opera has lost all the features that made me use opera as my main browser. so i'll switch to another browser or maintain an older version of opera. i wish to congratulate and respect your decision, but i can't yet.
thank you for all the years of providing me with a great piece of software. your new direction doesn't fit my needs, so it's time to say goodbye.
opera podría tenerlo todo si simplemente cambiaran el nombre del navegador...
hire me to help develop presto. :p
detonate the office
today the internet has died a little bit, opera the internet suite is gone.
i am thankful and sad, good luck.
i have no problem with rebuilding opera from scratch using blink, but this version should not leave alpha/beta stage as long as important features of the original opera have not been implemented.
-extremely important: give an option (back) to download something without adding the ntfs stream that makes ms windows display the warning that this file is downloaded executable content (i hate that stuff and opera v12 was the only browser which was able to save without that)
-interface: you should expand the buttons for minimize, maximize, and close in height so that they fill up the tabs bar; the space below is wasted anyway, and they are harder to click at when they are smaller.
-missing customizable interface (one of opera's most exciting features in the past was the ability to freely adjust the interface, (e.g., i like to have a small toolbox visible next to the address bar to show and change the current zoom level); however, the default interface after installation looks reasonable for most users, i think.
-give the option to make the "downloads" view remember that it was previously in 'detailed' view, and another option to make it open as soon as a download is started.
-give an option for which tab to focus on when closing the active tab (in old opera, the default setting was to display the tab that was last active and not the one that is furthest right in the tab bar).
-bring back the recycler button for previously closed tabs (the function is present but inconvenient to reach via the opera menu) -> again, this is in fact a request to bring back a customizable interface.
-bring back private tab instead of only private window.
-there is no way to see the previously typed addresses (address bar drop-down menu).
-do something with the download page... there are no options but... i want to be able to start opening/playing files before they are downloaded. (at least as old opera made it... avi or mkv wasn't a problem in vlc player... now it is a huge problem), want to have a context menu for downloads (at least to select "open with").
-session saving/loading.
i can't believe you have taken away everything that made opera the best browsing experience.
it switched to opera after netscape became obsolete/unusable. i instantly liked the integrated mail and the speed. also, it could open multiple windows in the same main window - and later, in tabs! i paid for the browser, even though ie and netscape were free.
opera was indispensable for almost all the time i have been browsing the web... it's the one program i always have open.
i will miss it and will have a hard time replacing it.
