<![CDATA[bye opera]]>after 7 years of using opera and telling others to use it i am done
12 is no longer supported and getting glitchy
18 is useless imo
the direction the company has gone in directions with the gui i don't care for and the functionality is not what it was
the rise of html5 is creating a whole new browser war and opera doesn't seem to be moving in right direction with the gui
it always about ease of use with anything on-line
in that opera is failing

bye

p.s. no clue as to which browser i am going to use now
will try as many as i find interesting and what works will make itself clear in the long run

I really hope that these people will settle down, either by staying with Opera accepting a few workarounds and giving real suggestions on how to make it better or going to Maxthon/Mozilla/other forums for once so threads like this one doesn't appear in the new forum. But I know I'm expecting too much... This kind of "goodbye" thread dates back to pre-Opera12.

With the shutting down of MyOpera, the mods who are left as well as some employees from Opera can better police the forums and get rid of those who have abused and misused them for the past 8 months. Not sure what I'll do with all the money Opera keep sending my way. Would you like some? I've more than enough! 😉

What bad was said about it?? In this thread not a single characteristic has been specified by the OP. Perhaps when people stop opening threads with solely vague rants we will give them some respect.

If leushino is a knight I hope you noticed it's because the OP is a dragon attacking the princess. A dragon that wants nothing but simply burn her.

But that's probably because it's aimed at users that are new to Opera and want to offer them the newest/latest version, because of the detected empty profile, they (the user) may have no previous history/knowledge of/with Opera, or don't know of or use m/any of the Classic features that made Opera Classic (Presto) what it is/was. So they may not actually know the difference between the two versions.

Sounds probable. Well, at least to me it does.

Actually (s)he said "are becoming buggy" (emphasis mine), on a browser that hasn't been developed for what effectively comes down to one and a half years. That's completely unrelated to what you're saying. Try using Firefox, I don't know, 12 or something (also released around April/May 2012), and see what's "becoming buggy".

No idea, but it definitely works for me in Opera 12.

What you said first doesn't agree with what you said later. Since many pages are broken in Presto, they decided to move to the Blink rendering engine to fix those broken sites. That is true, many more sites now work in Opera Blink that did not work before. So they fixed what was broken. How about your precious FaceBook search? Does that work in Opera 19?

The other stuff, that worked well in Opera 12 or earlier, is not implemented yet, so that's not broken either. Let's wait and see if they implement some of those important features again. Meanwhile, the open in menu is there in Opera 12 or earlier to open broken sites, just as it has always been.

You don't want Chrome so you'll switch to Chrome, yeah makes sense. Bye.

No, I use Google Chrome for the web pages that Opera 12 just doesn't work properly with. Like if I am using facebook and want to actually use the search function I have to use Chrome or else it bugs out. That along with Twitch.TV. Get off your high horse and get rid of your condescending attitude..

That doesn't change things much, you could just as well use Opera 19+ for that.

I beg to differ. On the desktop platform - which accounts for 72% of all page views - Vista's usage share is 4.0 %, whereas Presto-based Opera's usage share is 0.73 %. Source: http://statcounter.com Jan. 2014.
