It would be better if Opera's own repository offered more instead of forcing me to rely on Google
The developers of the extensions must then upload their extensions to Opera's add-ons catalog. Ask them, not Opera. Don't try to twist how reality works.No twisting needed. Like I said, one most go to the Chrome store. That is the reality of the situation and your vailed attempts at pointing the finger isn't going to change that.
And your point is still reduced to nothing, applause for you! -

No, I have a long list of Opera extensions, I like, already banned, and which I've downloaded. Don't distort things. We have the Opera Store and the Chrome Store. That's creates double possibilities. It's a PLUS.

Seeing your spamming of other sites makes it clear just how much of a zealot you are though because once again I, like others, talk about the browser and trolls like yourself can ONLY attack the posters and not offer anything of substance in regards to the subject matter. Well done, again

I've already stated that I do not want to use the Chrome store for many reasons so that does not double my options. What I am is forced to go to the Chrome store or make due with Opera's small repository of extensions. I don't see that as a plus at all. I also don't see how such a entrenching to Google makes Opera an alternative anything

I know, already banned, you're a total Chrome hater, so anything related to it freaks you out. Smile. I have no problem using a Chrome extension, if it's good. i'm delighted to. And of course the Opera store is increasingly offering more extensions, some which are quite wonderful, and which I could not find in the Chrome store.. And so, the ability to use both stores can only be a greater and greater resource for the Oppera community. i think there's reason to feel excited about the state of the browser and where it's going.

I'm sorry, I should have know you're illiterate... You can't understand the simple fact that you're relying on the Chrome Extensions catalog because the EXTENSION DEVELOPERS didn't upload their extensions to Opera's Extensions catalog. -

Agreed, for some, but not all. That's where the issue for Presto users and indeed other browser users comes into place because there are a good many people out their who want to wash their hands of anything Google.
Time will tell but right now and at the pace Opera is moving, a positive future experience with me and this iteration is hard to see

You're a Cyberfox user. Enjoy your browser. Have a nice day!
yep, a former and loooong time Opera user as well.
If alienating a good many of the current user base in hopes of procuring a new one is the approach, good luck with that but there really should be no surprise with any backlash either

You don't need to go to the chrome store, but you can if you want to.
Extensions are made by the community, not the browser developers(generally at least) so it's normal that opera's v15+ extension store is small since it hasn't been released that long ago compared to all the other browsers, it will need time to grow larger.
If you see an extension that's not in opera's store but is in another browser, ask the extension developer if they would be willing to port it natively to opera and they might say yes, especially if it's a chrome one since they use the same engine which makes things much simpler.
If they don't want to, you can either try and find/pay someone else to do it, give it a try for yourself or revisit your decision on using a chrome extension with opera.
There's no magical solution, the opera devs are busy(I hope to god) working on bringing more features and fixing the many problems and limitation of the current browser so they don't have time to do the job of a few awesome people making extensions to add feature to their favorite browser.
It takes time to create something, it doesn't appear from thin air.

been using opera since it's birth... i really hate updates on any program, due to many developers breaking a perfectly fine system. opera was my favorite browser never gave on it, even made my friends use it. since version 13+ i had to stop updating and stick to 12, recently i could take the update me !!! message and gave in... updated, and straight up what i see is this tablet looking interface. (wtf is "stash" and why can't i press ctl+ d to fav a site ...), i always loved opera because of its own distinct look but now look what happen all chrome firefox and opera look 99% alike... meh.. new opera isn't stable, and the worst of all opens 16+ processes, what i assume is happening is that it's opening a process for each extension. i loved the idea of a different tab for downloads.... now i have to open downloads and if i want to locate the file i have to navigate to jet another page then only i can get the info i could get so easily before... been using the new version for other a month and it's awful nothing to like but bit faster speed... + why would you try and advertise that you can use chrom extenctions... thats like saying hey we need to copy chrome maybe then people will join our browser... and jet again we see that you are not only losing users but also have plp move to 12... i might have to move my self i can't keep up with the idea of having multiple processes(abut 10) for 1 application. +++++++++++++==WHy DEVS of whyyy do you keep saying everything is fine when the community is telling you really really fucked the putch on this one, undo these changes and regain your fans ==++++++++= if anybody has a good browser that doesn't look like minecraft i will be happy to hear about it
but for now switching to 12 -

Ohhh nooo 01 typo when I know exactly the difference between simply and simple, I guess I lost my point completely now.You continue being the hypocrite accusing me of misjudging you. You're the hijacker and the one resorting to personal attacks.

czerwix,
Here's a thread discussing the multiple processes. They're actually a plus, helping the user.
https://forums.opera.com/topic/2454/multiple-processes-for-opera-exe/12
"As @Christoph142 noted: I'm wondering why so many people think that this is something bad and start complaining about it cause it's
not! * * * it actually speeds up the application since processes can be run independently in parallel on different cores of your CPU."
As for what the community is telling Opera, czerwix, it doesn't at all speak with your malcontent. Many in the community are saying, thank you Opera for a faster browser -- for one that gets us to more sites than Opera 12.17 ever could. Thanks also for a browser that isn't loaded with a lot of niche crap we never wanted (that slows everything down), but rather gives everyone the possibility of adding the extensions that they, in fact, do want. Let everyone be responsible for what they put on their own browser. A group of power users SHOULD NOT dictate what everyone is stuck with. For us, Opera Presto was heading to a dead end of over-convoluted code, with a hodge-podge of superimposed features, each one stacked on top of the last, the whole structure groaning and creaking. Thanks Opera for the changeover from the antiquated Presto engine to a fast and vital Blink engine, and with it, the starting anew.

4 Describe the problem you are having clearly and to the point. Be specific, and remember to include important details, such as the exact error message or address of the site.
5 Stay on-topic. Don't hijack other people's threads.
6 Don't write in all-caps, and leave swearing, rudeness and flaming at the door.
7 Don't post the same thing more than once.

I guess I am not greedy. I just want a few things, but I have no idea what they are called, so I can't search for them.

RSS is one thing, but I guess that is not hard to find.
Now the tabbing system will be worse, since if it has the tabbing system it will likely lack the mouse extension to actually navigate it. Oh, and popping up tabs correctly. What I remember from using CHOpera over the easter was that I could not change what tabs I ended up in when I closed them.
Oh, and Ctrl+Z and the waste bin.I would assume bonus points for a way to just dump all the bookmarks into a "Bookmarks" folder on the speed dial, just so I get quick links working.
After that, I will most likely run into some other retarded inconsistency, and get mad, for no reason. -

Sexy Undo Close Tab is quite good for dealing with closed tabs.. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sexy-undo-close-tab/bcennaiejdjpomgmmohhpgnjlmpcjmbg?hl=en
And you can program it so Control Z opens closed tabs (and control shift T will be there to do it also) (For some quirk, I don't quite understand, that control Z doesn't work from the speech dial page, so if I'm there I use the Control Shift T).
To use a Chrome exention, though, you do need the Opera Extension called, "Download Chrome Extension." https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/download-chrome-extension-9/?display=enRSS is easy to find for Opera 21. I use Feedly (which is super), and also, Live News Feed (which works from the Speed Dial) both from the Opera store. And of course the Discover features of the Opera Speed Dial, with it's 14 subject areas, around 36 countries (change the country to get a different view of the world) and multiple languages is competitive with the best of the RSS feeds for subject areas, and information.
On Tabbing, you have to do some looking at available extensions for easy navigation. One interesting one is
the Opera extension, the Switcher, https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/the-switcher/
where you open the icon to see a list of your tabs, or do it via keyboard with Control M. It's easy to deal with the tabs from there. Another possibility is, Quick Tabs for Chrome.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/quick-tabs/jnjfeinjfmenlddahdjdmgpbokiacbbb?hl=enIn Quick Tabs (when you click on the extension icon) presents you with list of all the open tabs sorted in order in which they were recently use (I like this recently used idea). You can use the arrow keys (or the mouse) to quickly switch to the tab you want, or better still you can actually type some of the characters of the tab you are looking for and Quick Tabs will search in the title and URL to list only the tabs that match the letters you typed. Quick Tabs also keeps track of recently closed tabs and allow you to search and restore closed tabs as well.
Now you say, "I would assume bonus points for a way to just dump all the bookmarks into a "Bookmarks" folder on the speed dial, just so I get quick links working." When you import your bookmarks from Opera 12 to Opera 21, you go to Menu/More Tools/Bookmark Importer. Now when you click on that, you get an option to move your bookmarks to the Speed Dial (it will put all of them in one position o the speed dial) OR to the Personal Bookmarks Bar. Most people choose the later, but you do have a choice. Of, course you can drag any bookmark on the personal bookmarks tool bar to the Speed Dial, and vice versa.

So Control Z is disqualified?. Thats a shame. Maybe it was a good extension.
Switcher by its description, sounds like a gimmick tool where you use tabs as bookmarks. I can see the use, and it does apparently do something you could do in old Opera. Not a useful feature, but a very good one. But it seems inferior for what I asked for. And thats a shame.
Quick tabs seems quite disqualified, and it does apparently just do what Switcher does, but quite a bit more elegant. That means its actually too horrible for real usage.Thanks for the rest, anyhow.

I wouldn't disqualify Sexy Undo Close Tab for Control Z. I think it's pretty good, and I use it on my Opera 21. It has a lot of nice features. First control Z generally works (the glass isn't half-empty) with the one caveat (that if you're on the speed dial page, just go control shift T or open another page for control Z). It gives a running count that you can see on the face of the extension of all closed tabs, and it can count very high with no problem. You can set it to keep the closed tabs available for reopening, EVEN AFTER you close the browser. So close the browser, go back, and the closed tabs from the last time around are there for reopening if you want. And a single click on the icon for the extension, shows all the closed tabs in a drop-down list, making it easy to find and open the one you need with a mouse click. If you have a lot of closed tabs, there's even a search box to help you find the one you want.
On tab managing, I guess I didn't quite understand what you were looking for when you said: "Now the tabbing system will be worse, since if it has the tabbing system it will likely lack the mouse extension to actually navigate it." If you're referring to something like Mouse gestures, there's a Chrome extension called Smooth Gestures that has a lot of tab navigation. If you enlarge the pages in the softpedia article, you can see a lot of the gestures that it has.
http://www.softpedia.com/reviews/windows/Smooth-Gestures-Review-178409.shtml
Smooth Gestures is in the Chrome store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/smooth-gestures/lfkgmnnajiljnolcgolmmgnecgldgeld?hl=en
It has over 12000 downloads, and is rated 4 stars so people do seem to like it.
Anyway, good luck.
