i don't like the chromium style of having a separate process for each tab, plugin, extension...
goodbye
we had a good run. too bad.
well, the current version is in the alpha stage, so it's not feature complete. it's hard to discuss switching browsers at this moment.
is it really worth switching to a completely new base? can't you just use chromium as a kind of library? use it in part of what opera lacks and don't change opera completely. it's just killing.
and for my note: one process per tab, i don't see any efficiency in this kind of design. it's just wrong.
thank you for everything. it was good.
please create the most advanced, customizable, and professional browser as you did before, and users (including me) will return.
rest in peace and goodbye.
very sad to see you being tied to google and your browser becoming more and more irrelevant.
i like opera. :)
bye bye... it's a shame you took this "chrome clone" route and removed all the features that made opera a truly advanced browser.
opera wasn't a browser, but a full suite for browsing the web. if opera became a browser like chrome or firefox, there would be no reason to use opera instead of chrome or firefox.
i thought a switch to another browser would never happen.
improve it
it was good years.
f u c k y o u !!!
goodbye, and good luck.
thank you for all these years.
i hope to see opera regain its strengths instead of just being an operaesque chromium skin. i'll keep an eye on the opera next development, but with its current feature set, it's just chrome, with all its faults and problems.
i like opera and i don't want to switch :(
keep up the good work, i'm not going anywhere.
a corporate coup d'état over the internet is in progress...
i will switch and i have nothing to say to them. opera browser is no more.
rest in peace.
starting with opera 9, i had huge scrolling artifacts. all bug reports were completely ignored. instead, my forum messages got deleted. - i need a browser that allows me to start an external html editor.
sad
please opera, just fix the old version, don't make an entirely new (and bad) one! seriously!
when opera transformed during version 4, most ui/ux features from version 3 were still present. please stick to that decision.
i trust in you, i hope you grant us the power of customization to the users. i want m2 as a built-in application.
why do you destroy something so elegant, convenient, feature-complete, and easy to use???
:o
you can switch to the webkit engine, but you must add the old features there.
i will download opera again if the old features are included. thanks.
i don’t say farewell, i just keep using version 12.15. i will not upgrade to version 15 as long as it isn’t as good as version 12. it should at least contain the features found in version 12. the current version 15 is just chrome with an opera skin, i already have chrome... the current version 15 lost more of the version 12 features than it added to the chrome browser.
at this moment i would say that version 12 was and is my last opera version.
how can you guys not listen to the feedback of such a small market share of users? it was already so small, and now you will lose those as well. (talking about non-mobile).
goodbye, fifteen!
too many important features are being removed. i think dropping some low-used features is a good idea, but removing the most important ones is a bad idea because there will be no motivation to stay with opera; it will be too similar to other browsers. in this case, the others win because firefox and chromium are open source.
it was nice all this time to use this fantastic browser, but now you are targeting a less discerning public who browses 3 sites a day and has a total of 30 bookmarks with a simplified browser, showing no care for advanced users who enjoy customizing opera and using more than 1500 bookmarks on what was the most beautiful internet experience browser.
i hope you fail miserably in your attempt to attract this less discerning public with a chrome-like browser; even internet explorer will have more capabilities than this rubbish, and soon you will regret all the loyal advanced users who promoted opera over the years and loved it dearly for all that it was capable of doing.
rest in peace.
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.
this is opera seppuku (ritual japanese suicide). it would at least be nice to know why you have surrendered to google!
