Баяртай, Опера?

you're welcome!

rest in peace.

so long, and thanks for all the fish.

if you kill opera <= 12.15, at least open-source it.

please listen to your users! please! and please open source presto!

it's been a blast. i started using opera back in the days of ie3/4/5 and the dark days when every other site wanted to launch popups, resize your browser window, and disable your toolbars/right-click. opera stopped all that for me. and tamed the nuisance sites, but over the last few years, opera has ignored the core power user fanbase in favor of the casual users who do not use the power of opera at all. instead, opera now seeks to appeal to the shallow, twenty-something crowd that likes to do nothing more than browse social media sites and click on like buttons. what is a power user to do? a user that wants to take full control over the content that gets delivered to the screen? a user that wants a myriad number of ways to interact with the browser, the ability to perform complex actions at a keystroke? this dumbing down will not gain you any extra users. that market is already cornered by chrome/safari and firefox. the rest use ie. consequently, if opera becomes no longer distinguishable from chrome, i may as well use chrome or firefox and make an opera v12 analog with its extensions.

what a waste of a perfectly good internet suite.

i love opera ui, i love speed dial, i especially love customization options and full themes, don't be so chrome-like.. please)

i hope that at some point it will be as feature complete and stable as 12.x, in which case i may consider switching back.

opera, remain unique!
