      I can understand why Opera is so unpopular. It has been trouble for me ever since I installed it.

      Now, don't get me wrong, Opera is fast. However, these problems are keeping me from using it. What were you thinking?

      So, first of all, you need A PROPER BOOKMARK MANAGER. One that can import from an HTML file. Most of us have migrated from other browsers (such as IE, installed by default or Chrome; Firefox which are more popular) and we've PROBABLY made a few bookmarks by then. I was surprised that this thing didn't have a bookmark importer much less a BOOKMARK MANAGER. You know, everyone likes looking through a hundred bookmarks on a tiny bar. And why are some features hidden? I discovered a barely plausible bookmark-to-speed dial converter (for already-installed bookmarks) at opera://bookmark-importer. What the heck? And your browser is based on Chrome which already has a bookmark manager; importer. And, oh yeah, you can import by downgrading, installing the bookmarks from the HTML file, then upgrading, but how intuitive is that?

      WHY CAN'T YOU CUSTOMIZE YOUR MENU BAR? You know, the thing that does EVERYTHING? I've spent literally 1 hour trying to find out how to add the download button (which for some reason does show up on Opera in another user for some reason, BTW). And I'm sure that I am going to want to add more buttons later.

      YOUR SUPPORT SUCKS. All of your articles are outdated, seriously?

      Oh yeah, and if you didn't realize this, you can actually install Chrome extensions on here, so you might want to install a feature on your browser which disguises your user agent as Chrome when the Chrome addons page is detected so addons from it can be installed. Not a problem, just a suggestion. (It will boost your already bad reputation.)

      Sorry if I'm rambling, but PLEASE.

        Please close this thread. It's a whining duplicate of so many others just like it. There is nothing new here... just someone who wants a soapbox to preach from.

          I agree with you.
