I don't understand what the developers were thinking. The simple fact is that the current offering is shit, and this doesn't look to be changing any time soon. Why 'upgrade' to such a shit and inferior product? If the developers really must insist on this trainwreck then I hope they will release the Opera 12 source code.
My reaction to the webkit announcement was one of apprehension and optimism. Since then, as the shit releases came out, that optimism turned to despair. For all the grand talk from the Opera developers, the simple and unavoidable fact is that the offerings so far have been piss poor - it just isn't happening for them. To think that I am only 6 months from a decade of Opera usage, and I likely won't be around to make the full 10 years over this trainwreck.
Where is a point in having another clone of chrome if I just can install chrome?
Please look back at Opera version 9.x to see what a good browser is like. And if Opera wants to become one of the best browsers again, update the current Opera versions with the neccessary features !!!
please fire the people that made the Opera 15 they will destroy your company, I am using opera more than 10 years and I LOVE the variety of customization and the deep configuration that I can achieve..
I love the bar on the bot with the increase-decrease zoom with the mouse, I love the files downloader that can resume that has its own tab and it is sooo organized I love the search bar that is right to the www bar..
plz dont kill the interface of the Opera 12.16 just make it more compatible with flash..
it would be a great disappointment after all this years to have to switch browser..
a big fan from Greece that is using Opera and only Opera even if most programs want to install chrome or safari even if I have to use iexplore for some content that opera can't support... plz don't kill the only browser that I respect and use for so many years...
Please do not die.
I knew that something like this was going to happen eventually after 9.5's unnecessary aesthetic "upgrades" but I never expected it to be this bad.
So Long and Thanks For all the Fish
Thanks for all the fish. I'll stick with the last stable 12 version until the internet no longer works in it.
Opera 15 follows the trend of dumbing down the internet. Me NOT.
What the hell happened to the Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2, etc. controls?
They were one of the main reasons I used Opera.
