I never gave and will not give my number, I have had a Google account for 3 years.

Do you by chance have an Android phone? They don't ask for it then because they already have it, without your consent no less. I had a gmail account way back when it was in beta, they didn't ask then either but I deleted it because of the growing distrust I have with them.
That's all I'll say on this though as I've gone long enough off topicI check my account config and I did not put my number.

The company needs a contact no. to protect me (contact me) if my account has been hacked. Or so they say. But I did like the Ben Franklin quote. Thanks for sharing it. We all have different levels of intrusion where liberty is an issue.

Two step authentication is going to be universally accepted. I suppose I'm "slightly ahead" of the times. LOL
I understand hesitation at giving out one's phone number so I'm not condemning anyone who chooses otherwise. We all need to find our own level of comfort.

I second that, and it's easy to click "Ignore" while creating a new account and they ask for your number.I use Bing as my search engine. I've made a link to its portal and dragged it onto my QAB.
There isn't even a need for that, just set Bing as default in the settings as it's one of the default search engines. -

Added and Improved with Opera Next = tons. Speed Dial, big plus (with the ability to have folders). Discover and Stash, plus. Off-Road Mode, a plus. Increased Speed and performance, big plus. Better rending of sites, big plus. Greater accessibility of extensions, big plus.
Lost = NOTHING. Opera 12.16 is still available for use, alongside Opera Next. It's the best of all worlds. While some of Opera 12's customization features are not in Opera next, many of them were enjoyed more by power users, than by the vast preponderance of users, and some of them will be replaced in Opera Next by extensions.

lem... I respect for trying to respond patiently and sincerely with funksoulbro, but bear in mind that he's simply trolling. That's all he ever does so my advice would be to ignore his comments.

Lost = Lots
Improved = None
Added = None that benefit the user, only Opera as a company (Stash)@funksoulbro: Seriously dude, grow up.
Why do you keep bashing Opera again and again in every thread that you come across?
Just stop it or use another browser and move along.This is the last warning. You'll get banned soon!

One feature disappered since Opera 15 Desktop: Missing Favicons/Icons in SpeedDials as Opera 12 and Opera 20 Android had.
These icons were fetchs if HTML code contained:< link href="/apple-touch-icon.png" rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed" type="image/png"> < link href="/apple-touch-icon.png" rel="apple-touch-icon" type="image/png"> < link href="/apple-touch-icon.png" rel="icon" type="image/png"> < link href="/apple-touch-icon.png" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/png"> < link href="/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon">Or can this be enabled with
opera://flags? -

Oh we will move on, don't doubt that Christoph...
I personally think that lame-ass browser doesn't even need any bashing since it says it all for itself for everyone who has their own opinion in conjunction with a bit of grey matter in their heads,
just as this spammer-magnet excuse for a forum doesn't deserve any time to have spent on. -

awzx, seriously, sre you a pseudonym for funksoulbro? I was hoping we could keep the thread on specific features, not the insult generalizations of Opera Next vis a vis Opera 12 that get everyone angry. Otherwise people will not want to put the time into serious answers, particularly if they get buried in threads where people start by trying to have a real communication, addressing the needs of the original poster, but then, the thread goes crazy.

Thanks for your comments.
I was really going to try Opera 22, but I can't change the search engines, I don't use Google anymore and Bing and Yahoo are just poor. I use DuckDuckGo and/or StartPage by Ixquick, if I can't get those as my default search engines this browser in not for me yet.
