:lol: Indeed... some words with their prefixes just wouldn't make sense without them.
When I started (late in life) in the fall of 97 with my first browser, it was Netscape 3.0 Gold. A year later I was on 4.5 and how I loved that browser. And frankly, I could get along reasonably well with that old browser today if in fact it would render today's pages and do so safely. Prior to that I was using a Canon word processor and a small floppy disc to do my essays for my classes. I think the screen allowed me to see a whole 10 lines at a time... magical in those days (for me at least). When I hear people say that it will be impossible for them to do their work without ALL the features that the old version of Opera allowed, I don't quite buy it. Granted, it would probably be more difficult and would definitely require some adjustments but you know... when you are forced to make adjustments... somehow you generally do and low and behold, you discover new ways of doing the same tasks and sometimes even better than before. I thought when I gave up the Netscape suite with its integrated email client that I would never get the hang of a second stand-alone program for mail. Ha. That adjustment must have taken me two or three WHOLE days. OMG... can you imagine? :yikes:

So... you were gruntled with Netscape 4.5, then became disgruntled when you had to give it up, then eventually became regruntled with a successor solution. I think I'm starting to see the pattern... :p

Honestly, this handle was just the first word that came to mind when i looked up and saw "Opera", and many of you show exactly why I don't normally bother to register anywhere, the general theme here seems to be gearing towards personal attacks and whatnot, as far as life and change goes, this is not it. Really, the fact that you don't do many things over a long period of time and require many tabs, right now i counted, I have a low 20-something open as we speak(hey it is still early, at times i group them in windows), but the fact that *you* cannot conceive of anyone doing it just shows your limitations and they should not limit the rest of us. It it has been made quite clear to me that Opera has no wish of maintaining it's longterm user base and as such I am finding and alternative, along with others.
I think I made a few points very clear in previous points, too bad shortsightedness seems to be the general trend. Really, makes me sad to change browsers completely, but the general attitude on this board seals the deal. Enjoy your repackaged Chrome browser, guys! Opera is dead. Ignorance is bliss. I guess google really did buy opera after all? who knows?
Have a nice day, and keep warm in the cold!

I just want to add that I in no way think Opera did this to spite any of us, it does not suit me at all however. I think it was ill-planned and very shortsighted, as the majority of my issues I think could be fixed with minor code tweaks, many probably without even that much. That's all.
Have a splendid day!

Another thing, Opera's founder seems to agree with me: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/02/07/opera_founder_its_all_gone_to_crap/

And your point is? Of course he would agree that it's all gone to crap. What would you expect him to say?

stevenjcee last edited byWhy, "of course he would agree that it's all gone to crap"? I guess you've decided he's nothing more than a lying, disgruntled employee, I suppose? And I guess we should value your expertise & knowledge over his, as well...

You should never make assumptions, Mr.Cee. If I had decided that he was those things, I would have stated such. But I refrained from that, correct? So don't presume to put words in my mouth and build yet another strawman you can knock down.
