please keep your uniqueness and don't rely too much on google...
and please consider a windows phone version!
goodbye...
i'm sorry.
it was the greatest experience i've had surfing the internet with you until version 12.16, opera. it was almost the only browser for professionals and geeks! now goodbye and good luck with a bunch of idiots who use a browser only for facebook and twitter (if they will come from their beloved chrome). take care...
opera 15 is terrible.
it's really a nice capitalistic move - basically, all opera users have no choice but to switch to any type of chrome (seamonkey? too bulky, slow, and lacks usability, keyboard shortcuts for emacs users, and gestures, grouping. firefox? same, but without built-in mail & irc. midori, reconq? they are just a ui for webkit).
and then people say that, unlike socialism, capitalism provides an opportunity to satisfy all people's needs. essentially, it does not. but it does create a problem, which you can see just by briefly looking at society, where its only purpose is money and goods. and not only society as a whole.
i'd suggest someone clone code from some internal git/svn servers by hacking - there doesn't seem to be an alternative to opera, and it's very unlikely that opera software will give real opera to oss, since that would make their market share much smaller.
:(
damn you!
too many glitches in the last few years; version 15 doesn't even have bookmark capability. i don't need to visually see my bookmarks, nor do i want everyone else in the world to see them.
opera had implemented zooming better than other browsers, it was nice to have built-in mouse gestures, and i used to tell people, use opera and you don't have to bother chasing addons to make it work, it's got all you need out of the box. i can't do that anymore. but the killer omission is displaying cached images only. without the option to display only cached images, opera is pointless.
