You can still use a version of true Opera aside other browsers (nuOpera included) - for certain, limited purposes (with the increasing vulnerability) and with caution, of course.
I do. I play games and videos there, check weather sites and mail, etc.
I uninstalled the beta version during my testing. I reinstalled it, and I see that I was misreading the "about" page. The beta version is still 32-bits. Opera 12.15 does have both 32-bit and 64-bit versions, so I just assumed that was true for the current development branch as well. I have more browsers and virtual machines for testing than I can remember - sorry for the confusion.
My other post that was closed was a near duplicate of this one (I wasn't sure of the correct place to post this issue). The only difference is that I had additionally tested against the stable version and @font-face works for the stable version.
I've found that by disabling hardware acceleration it does not lock the system up and plays flash content fine, although not ideal it works none the less I have since reported the issue to AMD oh and disabling Ublock and user agent switcher did not help
I also noticed this deficiency in Opera 31 (can't copy unstyled text). The Plain Text Copy And Paste extension is not a 100% solution, but it's a workable one nonetheless, and it works (select text using the mouse while looking at the screen, then look down at the keyboard, and press Ctrl+C to copy).
