A year is a pretty long time in the modern web world, and many web services have set new requirements that browsers need to face. To make sure our users get the best out of the web, we’ve begun offering some of our Presto users a chance to upgrade to Opera 25.</p>
<p dir="auto">With this upgrade, users can choose to install the latest version without losing Opera 12 from their computers. If they opt to upgrade to Opera 25, some data - such as bookmarks, cookies, history, passwords, and sessions - will be automatically imported to Opera 25. However, some other data, not supported in Opera 25, will be accessible from external sources:</p>
<p dir="auto">Your Opera Mail emails will stay safe within your Opera 12 (or lower) build. You can also download the standalone version of Opera Mail from <a href="http://www.opera.com/computer/mail/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">http://www.opera.com/computer/mail/</a>, and move all your emails there. Opera Mail is now focused on one thing only - handling email better and faster than ever.<br />
When you upgrade your browser to Opera 25, your notes will be available in an HTML file that appears automatically on your desktop.</p>
<p dir="auto">All your IRC client data will stay safe within your Opera 12 (or lower) build. There are also many good standalone IRC clients in the market, such as mIRC.</p>

<p dir="auto">Yes, a year is a long time in website development which is why it astounds me that you have not got the bookmark system sorted out yet as it was in Opera 12. It surely can not be that big a deal and as it does seem to be a major sticking point in people transferring over from Opera 12 to Opera 25 or simply going to a totally different web-browser it seems somewhat short-sighted.</p>
<p dir="auto">What is the reason why the bookmark set-up has not been put into Opera 25 properly? There must be some reason.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thank you.</p>
<p dir="auto">Although it might be too late for me: my Opera 12.17 has just started crashing every 20minutes even having this website causing the crash.</p>

<p dir="auto">Do they complain just <strong>loudly</strong> or do they have reasons?<br />
The point is, they developers named the <strong>new</strong> browser (however useful) "Opera", by which misassuring <strong>old</strong> users of Opera that that's just the same browser. They come to it thus - don't they have rights to? - and what they see dumps them with frustration.<br />
You seem to not share such frustration by your own feelings/reasons/whatever. But now you think they what?<br />
They don't have rights to be frustrated? They don't have reasons to?<br />
<strong>ARGUE WITH THE REASONS</strong>! not the feelings.</p>

<p dir="auto">It's not losing anything, Sidney. If anything it is gaining new users. The are a few disaffected former (or current) Presto users here who complain loudly after each new version update and a handful have even threatened to abandon Opera. But numbers speak more loudly and Opera's usage is on the increase. New users are replacing the complainers and many like myself who have been with Opera since the late 90's will continue to be loyal to the company.</p>

What do we have here? <strong>Some</strong> Presto lovers come here and curse the Blink; but also we have some Blink users who both "bury" the Old Opera - <strong>and</strong> morally abuse Presto users.</p>

Stop cursing &amp; burying, AND stop abusing each other on the ground who uses which browser. (BTW, Presto users haven't been caught - eg by myself - at, say, calling Blink users names yet, all right?)</p>

<p dir="auto">So since I don't recognize that since I clearly see it as a possible viable alternative, this means you do have a beef with them. It's a working browser with good compatibility with websites so I don't know why you keep insisting it's not a viable alternative.</p>
<p dir="auto">Presto isn't dead yet BTW, that's what I'm using right now to write this post and I still use it for many websites. I did migrate to firefox as my main browser though since I wanted to switch before too many problems with it started to appear.</p>

<p dir="auto">Because it getting better and better is a very subjective thing, I had to stop updating it back when I was giving it a fair shot since it was getting worse for me.</p>

<p dir="auto">Like some browser developers in Norway, English is not the "first language" of the primary Otter developer... and both, at times, occasionally don't phrase things with the best grammatical and spelling correctness - but that seems not to affect their inherent coding ability in either case. Goals are just that: goals... and if creative individuals didn't sometimes find ways of accomplishing difficult or 'impossible' goals, a lot of the technical things surrounding us today would not exist. As far as paid, full-time employees of big operations go, if that was all we had to rely upon, I dare say users of Opera and some other browsers would find themselves missing a LOT of the "extension" functionality that those browsers now rely upon. Moreover, many of the large enterprises of today started out as 1 or 2-man garage-shop operations in the not too distant past. Just sayin'... never disdain humble beginnings. While the "startup" business odds are always stacked against a new endeavor, one never truly knows in the early stages...</p>

<p dir="auto">I'm basing my opinion on my experience after giving it a try using the traditional installer and it's a browser that loaded every page I needed and has a functioning MDI interface so it's already better than opera 25 for my needs(those previous 3 words are very important, don't go ahead and ignore them).<br />
If they had implemented better ssl certificate handling and tab grouping, I'd have seriously tried switching to it for my main browser.</p>
<p dir="auto">They don't need to compete with the big guys, they just offer a different alternative that no other browser is offering which attract a minority of people.<br />
I seriously doubt it will ever come close to being a major browser, but they're at least trying to fill a void many of us feel. The fact they're not writing in perfect english doesn't mean they have no coding skills and that's what matter when you're writing a software.</p>
<p dir="auto">For the goals, as they say, “It's better to dare to dream big and achieve half of your dreams than to dream small dreams and achieve all”.</p>
