Given that Chrome/Blink uses multiple processes, if each process has its own memory space then total memory used is no argument. Stability ... well. once you have 64-bit plugins. As long as you have 32-bit plugins, it is a waste.

The lack of 64 bit is a total turn off. I like Opera, but it's not 1995.

Well the entire software industry is gradually moving towards 64-bit... More and more programs are made available in 64-bit each day (usually alongside a 32-bit version), and Android - which is rumored to be moving into the computer industry next year - is adding native 64-bit support with their latest "KitKat" release.

Android 4.4.0 KitKat isn't 64-bit.

PS. Eww quote mess, notice to anyone reading to double-check what I said and what I didn't.

Opera Next now is current/standard Opera edition or it's still kind of beta phase?. If I remember correctly, Opera x64 is one of earliest browser that implement 64-bit version, right? (Except IE 6 64bit came along with xp 64)

And I like how people (both new members and thousands-post-members) talk off-topic about everything else, from 32vs64-bit software to Android rumor... this make the forum relaxed and more comfortable

Welcome to the My Opera forums.

There are three separate development streams:

1. Opera 18 is a final (i.e. stable) version — though it is still not feature complete by a long way compared to what most old Opera users want.
2. Opera Next could be called a beta stage. The current Opera Next version is Opera 19-0-1326-19.
3. Opera Developer is rather more experimental than Opera Next. The latest version is Opera 20.

Read the blogs to learn more about developments, and subscribe to the RSS feed to be informed of updates.

The latest fully featured version of Opera with integrated mail client etc., is Opera 12.16, which is also available from the Download page if you look carefully.

You can get 32-bit and 64-bit versions from here. Opera 11.64, which I am still using, is the previous stable version with some features missing from Opera 12.16.

Chrome just released a 64 bit version of canary. I hope that means that a 64 bit version of Opera won't be far behind. I would really like to get rid of 32 bit flash and java.

Does 64 bit Flash and Java crash less?

If too many processes use WOW64 it can cause system instability and slow the system down or cause it to crash. Opera opens a new process for each tab opened and if every single one of those tabs uses flash and java you can hit that wall rather quickly.

Yes I have noticed slowness with lots of flash/java pages open. I'm using Opera 12 32bit, because the Opera 12 64 bit email client is unstable.
