I say bring back urlfilter.ini
It doesn't get any simplier than this.
Why should we have to rely on some third party extensions..

It tries to connect to 173.194.70.94 (with no tabs open). Does anyone know why and what data it is sending?
Initially I thought Opera was great. Fast, useful Stash feature that includes a screen shot. Great. I've spent a lot of time using Opera for awhile now. However....
A lot of the extensions I've tried won't work or doesn't exist with Opera. Its odd, but I can work with it I suppose.
Today I just realized there is no way to export bookmarks. To simply put, its been inconvenient and a frustrating night to have to save each URL onto notepad, something that should have taken a few seconds. I've read up on the issue and noticed a lot of people complaining about it for awhile with no solutions from the developers. Yes I know its free, but lacking.
So this is why I wont be using Opera again.
Also, it seems to be able to only remember ONE user/pass for any given site.
So if you have more than one account at e.g. Gmail, you're out of luck.This is note true. I have two logins for google/gmail and it works fine.
Well, it grabbed my all my wand passwords from the previous installations (I can see them in the settings) but it only shows ONE user/pass per page.
So maybe if you add them again by hand it will work. Better than nothing I guess.
sigza,
There are a lot of improvements with Opera 20. Faster browser. Renders sites better. And to name a few new features: much improved speed dial with ability to create folders within the speed dial, the Discover news feature (now really, since you like RSS news feeds, you might well find the Discover feature terrific). Have you given it a try? Just click the Discover button on the Speed Dial, near the top. You can change the subject matter -- news, technology, health, business, entertainment, food, etc.
There are RSS add-ons and live News feeds that work with Opera 20, if you are looking for something more than the Discover feature.

You can change the page zoom easily enough. Just press 0 (or control shift +) for increased size, and 9 (or control shift -) for decreased size.
Now you say you like functionality. Yes some features have been lost, but there is a big increase in the availability of extensions. You can get an extension at Opera site (click on the Opera menu, and then on "get extensions" to see what's available. Also, practically every extension in the Chrome store is available for Opera users. All you need to be able to download and install a Chrome Extension is the Opera Extension, "Download Chrome Extension."
Here's a link to what's available in the Chrome store.

Yes, some of the customization features of Opera 12.16 will not come with the browser any more. That is because to get some of the advances in speed, ability to render sites better, etc., Opera had to switch browser engines from Presto (which had become out-of-date to Bing. And to a certain extent, with a new browser engine, one has to go back to the beginning reprogramming. That takes time. The Opera browser now is being kept lean, and fast. The extensions (a huge improvement over the old Opera) are what will provide some of the extra features (More will likely come in the future), but right now a lot is available.
You might want to keep your Opera 12.16, and run alongside it Opera 20 (to get used to it). You don't have to change instantly, or at all. But have Opera 20 to explore. Try some of the extensions. If you don't like them, they are easy enough to remove. Opera 12.16 may not be able to access all sites in the future, or to access them as well. So at the least, if you have a problem going to a site, you can use Opera 20. You may discover at some point, after exploring its features, that you really like the New Opera.
Sorry, but this is laughable.
Opera 20 is just a shadow of the 12.x versions.
If the developers clearly stated that they are going to bring back the BASIC FEATURES (like rss, bookmarks, content blocking etc.) that the 12 versions had, that would be fine.
Instead we're getting RETARDED tirades about how the new version is somehow great and everything is fine. This is stupid.
Can we block anything at all with the newest Opera?
I don't see a "Block content" option anywhere.
Can I copy the urlfilter.ini anywhere so that it takes effect?
Also, it seems to be able to only remember ONE user/pass for any given site.
So if you have more than one account at e.g. Gmail, you're out of luck.
