  Well ...

  BankID Security Application can not be installed.

  yOUR PLATFORM Linux 64-bit is not supported. You find information about supported platforms here.

  I wouldn't trust that thing at all. And I cannot find out what is supposed to be installed.

  Should I upgrade to Opera 18

  When I installed Opera 18, my passwords were copied from my existing installation.

  I installed it using the USB install option, then launched it using a command line to copy my Opera 11.64 profile, which also uses a USB install. Edit the command line below to match your paths, press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialogue, and paste the command. This is done after installing Opera 18, and launches it, importing bookmarks, wand.dat, and your current session. It also creates and HTML file of your notes on the desktop.

  "<Full path to Opera 18>\launcher.exe" --presto-small-prefs-dir="<Full path to old Opera>\profile"

  A standard install should copy your Opera profile from 12.16 AFAIK.

  I have to admit that I've been reading all the great comments both for and against so eloquently posted for quite some time hoping to get some idea of the direction Opera has taken. What I've discovered is that Opera is DONE for the consumer market. Really even at its hight it was around 2% of the market (yes I remember when you could tell Opera to identify itself as IE) and even if the bring back the full optimization that existed in the previous versions it's likely to be years at their current pace. So, why destroy the old opera we all loved ? My suspicion is that Opera is not a financially viable company under the old code and would be better served if it was swallowed up by a larger player that wanted their own version of a Google lite browser. We just have to face the facts that the party's over and don't forget to turn out the lights.

  “Companions the creator seeks, not corpses, not herds and believers. Fellow creators the creator seeks -- those who write new values on new tablets. Companions the creator seeks, and fellow harvesters; for everything about him is ripe for the harvest.” too bad Google got there first.

  If the last reply on a forum topic is more than two days old and my reply will not bring anything really useful, then i should not reply.

  I couldn't find any suitable extension either. Relying on extensions to do everything is a not a good policy.

  However, you won't get anywhere by posting in a troll thread like this. Post in the desktop wish-list, which is where feature-requests belong.

  Extension developers may also read the wish-list threads and add the features that people need to their own extensions.

  Hey yeah, that link did help. I needed to also call the replaceState() method like this:

  history.replaceState( {state:0}, better );

  … where {state:0} refers to the data that the doc is talking about, or the current document.

  Thanks a lot! 😉

  Thanks.

  I know about the differences, Opera 12 is still my main browser. Mainly because it supports a vertical tab bar out of the box, the still unreached caching and the performance when working with 40+ tabs. Shame they let this great piece of software die, they should have at least released it as open source.

  I have just switched back to Opera on my Mac, having used Chrome for a while. I'm pleased to get my speedy bloat-free browsing back, but like many people I'm distressed by the loss of bookmarks. I enabled the QAB and copied my Chrome bookmarks file into my Opera profile. That worked a treat for the QAB -- it picked up all the bookmarks I had on the toolbar in Chrome. Very happy with that.

  But like many people I also had some bookmarks in Chrome that were not on the toolbar, they were in folders accessed via "Other bookmarks", which appeared on the Chrome toolbar but doesn't appear on the QAB. They are there in the bookmarks file I coped from Chrome, but I can't find a way of accessing them. Is there any way of getting the top-level Other Bookmarks folder to appear on the QAB? Or even on Speed Dial? I think that might solve the problem. NB I don't mind doing a bit of hacking of files if necessary.

  Themes in Opera 18+.

  You can create your own theme with your choice of background pictures and font colour. A theme created in this way can have different pictures for speed dial and settings pages.

  In Opera 19+ its' a bit easier to create a simple theme from a single picture with Drag and Drop.

  Because that "first" eMail provider may not provide what the user actually needs for his general usage. Nevertheless, it can provide the user a starting point which allows him to set up another eMail provider that does provide what he needs thereafter. Many eMail services demand a confirmation e-address to start up their services, so a first-time user needs to start with a service that doesn't demand that (though they may want an address, phone number or cell number for confirmation).
