What percentage of people are adapting well to the new Opera?

A Former User

What exactly is the value proposition of Opera (With extensions) over Chrome with extensions?

That was already answered in the first page of this topic.

Rafael: they're not really interested in facts so don't confuse them any further (LOL). Seriously, they're just ragging.

Evernote is not for me and I tried it with all heart then tried all other possible options but not the same. please just give a time frame like 6 months or 1 year but plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz don't remove it permanently. plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz I am crying.

There's an extension for notes. Stop crying.

I am trying to adapt but I am not really feeling it sadly.
And can you three, I think who you are, stop saying there are extensions for everything and this and that.
That never works as good as it built in, as long as they can not really "extend it in to the program".

Why would I want several different add-ons/extensions to do small but important things with there own little icon I have to click on every time?

This opera Next does not even work correct here in the forums, it does not load the avatars.

I have spent the entire day, well, off and on, to find a good replacement for 12.17, but not really feeling anything. Now I am trying to get this latest Opera Next to usable performance, but well, not really getting there.

To me it feels like the people working on it now are not at all the same people that made the old so good and have no idea what really made it so.

I don't care what it feels like to you. The company is doing very well whether you like it or not. The most popular browsers (i.e. Chrome, Firefox) use a myriad of extensions to add functionality to their browsers according to what individuals want. Opera is now doing the same. There is an extension for Notes. If your Notes are so precious to you, use the extension. Otherwise... find another browser or do without.

I was not talking to you about how it feels like, but the starter as he asked how many are adapting well.

If they are doing very well maybe they can hire some more programmers then to speed up the development?

What I and I guess many others are complaining about and that I don't understand why they praisers of the new opera are so furiously defending is that Opera used to have (yes in another engine) a whole bunch of amazing features.

What I cant understand is that when you update your program you just stop supporting what you had and throw the users a underdeveloped beta of your new program. Normally I would expect a developer to keep supporting the old until the new was as good as that.

The other browsers never had the functions in it in the first place anyway.

it's a little early to say their doing pretty well. bloomberg reports they had a first quarter loss in 2014.

please don't refer to presto as old. in linux its still the new:) yet it lacks polish on mine (beside tabs there is a opera icon that is 1/4 cut off. its always been that way).

Their financial report for 1Q2014 shows a profit. Their revenue increased 40% over 1Q2013.

And how about the Opera Mail stand alone program. Does it work better in any way than Mail in Opera 12?

They are the basically the same thing. Opera Mail is just Opera 12 without the browser part.

so is opera mail still going to be developed (updated for new os etc, security holes patched etc)? or is it abandonware? i still prefer it over thunderbird but suspect it is heading the path of the presto.

you might want to check the revenue projections here also. and gross profits ... as compared to 2010. and note that when opera announced that it was going webkit or blink or whatever, it was very recent, so investors reacted positively in anticipation. we need to wait to see if this upward trend in stock price was an anomaly or not.

That minus means a negative from the ANALYST ESTIMATES. They have a profit of .12. If there was a loss, then the bar would be pointing pointing downwards from the zero point with the color being red instead of green.

It's still early, either way. A transient such as a nearly-complete product-line redesign throws some major perturbations into a company's stats and stock behavior. Much as we might like it to be otherwise, until there's been at least several more quarters for trends to become apparent from underneath all the perturbations and reactions (corporate, internal productivity, and market perceptions), it's simply not possible to tell what the market trend for Opera ASA will ultimately be.

without getting into this to far (it's off topic and boring), they did not have a first quarter profit. their earnings did not compensate their expenditures. there is an § Adjusted EBITDA of MUSD 22.7 that is burried in opera's cost presentation. this graph highlights it. actual earnings of 0.12 equates to "a negative surprise" for the first quarter of "-75.78%". that is why opera's price fell .6 after this announcement.

the point was, it is still early to say that the new direction will be a profitable one.

It may be off topic but you're the one who started this with your incorrect comment "it's a little early to say their doing pretty well. bloomberg reports they had a first quarter loss in 2014."

There was NO loss. They had a profit.
