make something as good as opera 11.6x, otherwise open-source presto and abandon the entire project altogether.

you almost surpassed firefox in usability. you innovated. (your tab stacking really deserves to be copied.)
you were a valued alternative.
now you are suiciding. you will never come back from what you are about to do. you are dead.
when the chrome/firefox/safari dust clears, we will need you again, but you won't be there.
it's been a fun run the last decade or so, but if you offer nothing more than what chrome already offers, what's the point?
so sad to see the best browser go under... i'm going to keep an older installation of the browser around though, version 12 or so, because it's still by far better than anything else out there at that point.
sad that you just don't get it, opera. r.i.p. opera.
marketing has never been their strong suit, and it seems that someone's ego (or google's money) has finally dealt opera the final blow. it won't survive this change.
thank you for the many years; you were the best. i owned a license and even won a christmas contest once! i plan to stay on 12 as long as possible before moving on. if you're absolutely resolute on keeping rss separate, please continue to develop the external application, though it would need to have a ton more features than the built-in for me to really bother to use (alarms, pop-ups, trash, etc.). i'll keep my ears open and check in every once in a while, but not often. please do a great job with webkit/blink.
i was hoping for the best with this webkit switch, but if the features that made opera the best browser on earth aren't going to be in the new version, i don't see a reason to stay.
thanks for the best browser i've had up to opera 12 and for making it easy to choose a new browser: either firefox or chrome now.
