There exists an abandoned open-source addon named Fix the Web.
https://addons.opera.com/pl/extensions/details/fix-the-web/?display=en

This is a great idea. I mean a client-side patching for a problem web-sites (e.g. User-Agent spoofing solutions, bug and compatibility fixes via UserJS and UserCSS), where its still possible. But who would support it? Maybe we (die hard presto fans :)) could create the "wage fund"(donated) to employ some guys (on piece-rate pay) ? Or make some kind of virtual auction/shop which could work on a principle "make working patch and get your money from the fund"

Empej, huh?
This .18 thing is only for Windows, right?

Er, yes. What's your point?

The problem I encounter when accessing Twitter is not that of redirecting to the Twitter mobile site. This redirection does not happen.

I think everyone here knows it, but the problem I am talking about is that Presto Opera 12 cannot display the Twitter screen properly:

When accessed with Firefox 45.0, the Twitter screen looks fine like this:

But when accessed with Presto Opera 12, the Twitter screen looks like this:

It is also difficult to send a tweet from Opera 12 because of this. So it is necessary to access the Twitter mobile site to send a tweet.

If this problem with Twitter is resolved, I don't need Chromium Opera at all. Presto Opera 12 is good enough for me.

Thanks, Dave.
Nevermind, clarifying if the topic would actually be ever relevant to me.

Well I think what's being discussed here is probably relevant to most recent versions of Presto Opera, not just 12.18.
That extension looked like a great idea, a pity it's now abandoned, and I can't use it anyway because it seems to be dependant on being a member of Twitter, a site I don't want to have anything to do with!
:lol:

@trinarystar, that's not a problem on Twitter here. I do have an issue with pasting links in the tweet form, and certain aspects of Twitter are VERY slow in Opera 12, but it at least looks right.

Are you maybe on Linux? Windows here. Aside from that wild guess, check cookies, masking, anything else you might have going on in override.ini, perhaps something throwing it off in Advanced/Storage, absence of browser.js, etc. It's something.

I see the thread's title though.
I was asking because I'm gonna part with Windows altogether or at least for a long while. IF they drop the XP support.

Off-topic for this thread, but Opera have already dropped XP (and Vista) support for their latest browsers.
Opera 36 is the last one that will work on XP or Vista.
This has been forced upon them (they say) because the Chromium project has dropped support.
I can't imagine that Presto Opera won't always work on XP though.

Is there any hope for linux version of 12.18? Or is there possibility of taking these new security protocols from windows version and use it with 12.16 on linux (as a library or sth)?
More and more pages are using https these days and I can't open them...

Hmm, now one of the lightest, simplest sites is misbehaving. Wikepedia, not responding or slows down browser. What gives?

I have problems with a site here and there but they were heavy, NYPOST for example. But never expected problems with wikepedia

It's not been so light since going https. That slowed it down, but other than that, I haven't noticed anything unusual. Maybe you hit it when it was having problems.

The home page loads fine, then if I click on a link its horrible. Have to close it to get the browser to behave normally again

You may ask on the *nix forum, you may have better luck there.

I did ask the developers if they were planning a Linux release; they said they had more Windows users (especially on XP) and weren't going to do Linux. Mind you, since they never released a Linux version of the standalone Opera Mail, I suspect there are more Linux users than they think.

They may not able anymore to compile and debug Presto's source code for Linux platform.

Thanks as always, but it doesn't seem to be working for me.
The toolbar buttons are on the left instead of on the right, with the search field underneath them instead of to the left of them.
I take it the code above should replace the previous code, not be added to it?

Sorry, but I can't help - I don't know what's the problem because it works fine for me. Maybe it's some extension or wrong CSS file?

Yes, the code is a complete CSS file.
