question for those who are complaining about the new Opera

Thank you colderwinters, I will give those browsers a try since there's nothing else to do here. Glad you stumbled on this, otherwise useless, forum where nobody that counts is listening.
Thank you for UC Browser HD too - I long for a decent browser on my iPad where Chrome keeps crashing (maybe it's company policy
and Opera Mini is nothing but a backward joke on a modern mobile platform. -

Comodo Ice Dragon's , a good recommendation
I agree, well worth trying. Since the demise of old Opera I've been looking for the best replacement, Ice Dragon's a front runner. The functionality of Presto is hard to replace so I'm sticking to it for as long as possible. -

coldwinters says: The Chrome extension is garbage, extensions I installed barely worked if they worked at all and none of the themes worked, most of the extensions were incompatable with opera.
* * *I can't quite agree with you there. The extension you need to get is called Download Chrome Extension, and with it, I can go to the Chrome store, and get many extensions that work in Opera. I have found this super. Now you do have to make sure that when you install a Chrome extension, you click on the Extensions tab in the main menu, and make sure to install the Chrome extension. Otherwise, it will seem that nothing is happening and that the extension doesn't work. I suggest that people using Opera try it.
Now you complain that none of the Themes in Chrome worked. Well, a modest thought there: a theme is not an extension. If I really want to work hard, I can go to the Chrome theme, and try to use the Opera Extension, Awesome Screenshot: Capture & Annotate extension, to make it work in Opera as a Theme, but it's not worth the work. I think Opera is handling themes better than Chrome, though Chrome does provide more online themes. Opera lets you use, in addition to what Opera provides as themes, your own photos and themes. When I was using Chrome, I could only use what they provided. In terms of using my own, I have been able to find the location of all of the Windows 7 themes, and can use them in Opera as themes. Also, any jpg that you find on the web, just right click on it in Opera and instantly make it a theme. If you try that in Chrome -- as I just did -- it doesn't do it. You can build up your own collection of all time favorite jpgs to use in Opera. The Opera treatment is, in my view, better.

both of comodo's browsers are excellent, i agree. my problem with webkit or blink is when i sandbox my browser (in windows 7), it breaks the updater. this happens with google, opera, and comodo dragon. this doesn't happen with firefox or ie.

Other reason that I love the new opera is themes, I never used themes in chrome, but in opera, I keep changing the theme

Exactly. Themes are important. They can make of the browser something beautiful. I'm happy with how well Opera 20 is handling it.

Me too, I always prefer the original skin of the browser
