thanks for a good time all these years. though it's a shame if this is really what you think your users want. rebuild what we know as opera around the new engine and many will be happy. if you have nothing to differentiate ... you don’t get any market share.
the reason to use opera, its features, is gone :(
opera is now not unique enough, that's a big problem for me,
no bookmarks. no notes. no zoom bar. no wand. no advanced settings. no opera.config.
at the moment you can't generate new users and can't also keep the opera-fans. we all can use chrome, the google-browser has a ton of cool add-ons and it has bookmarks! at the moment opera is just a castrated version of chrome.
now with opera 15, it's your chance. please, don't make a chrome-like browser and listen to your users.
shame.
i would like to switch back to opera if it becomes usable again.
it was fun while it lasted.
i don't think i'll be switching, but i'm in no hurry to upgrade.
