Why did you close my discussion.

This was a message to the developers and was valid to point out the key areas. That two years down the line they have still not included with successive releases, it should not take that long to reinstate the sync feature as mentioned, other browsers adopted this feature after opera having it for some time, now opera does not have this at all.

In reply to one if the posters on that thread, I have updated as each release came out but found less and less reasons to use it as I needed to.

Yes speed has improved but you will find like any add on or extension you install that they will SLOW your browser down. I did not have to install anything that was not already there.

I haven't used Opera in 8 months because it seems they turned off the sync feature in. V12.16 and so I do not have easy access to my bookmarks and speed dials that are for work purposes when I switch to other devices and computers. I have around 25-50 speed dials that I needed quick access to as they changed regularly it has messed up how I work hence why I have had to go elsewhere.

Sorry but I have to use other browsers to carry on working the way I need it to. I hope they look at reinstating those measures that people came to opera in the first place.

i dont get 100% cpu but it eats up all my memory they have gone chrome route with opening an instance in a separate process in task manager for several tabs by the looks of it which i hate to a point i think to stablize it but i would think that telling people to keep tabs down to so many would be a better option.

HI OP i have written a post along the lines of what you are saying, Opera has been a mess the last good version was 12.16 it was simply THE BEST and could not get any better.

Now it they have destroyed what was unique to the internetting world. I cant use any of it to my advantage. So now i use Firefox and Maxthon.

I have been using Opera for about 7 years, for me the last good version was 12.16. It was a great interface and easy to use, now they have destroyed it and obliterated it and i'll tell you why.

Where is the Sync feature that kept all your Speed Dials, bookmarks up to date on each device you used it on?, I specifically use this browser at work as the layout worked perfectly for me.

Where is the the Menu Bar, I DESPISE the fact that so many programs out there think that clicking on ONE icon THEN getting access to the menu bar of which many features are NOT there anyway, iS efficient to use. NO IT IS NOT! There are lots of people out there including myself who like to have access to a proper menu bar and this is how windows was designed once it went onto a GUI.

Where is the left side bar it no longer appears to be available?

Why so many instances of ONE browser is open in Task Manager, it hogs a lot of memory - this is one reason why i HATE Chrome it messes up and eats up the memory I have.

How can Opera just think that getting rid of the sync feature/Link button that used to sit at the bottom is HELPFUL to me? And cannot be bothered to update it and put this back in, now yo have to log into their website to get access to whatever yo have built up p- this is an OPERA SIN. They seem to just leave it a few versions and hope that people will forget about it and any new users will never know about it. there is now NO point in using Opera as it behaves as a run of the mill application like I.E. there is nothing SPECIAL about it.

I now use a Mixture of Firefox because of compatibility and Maxthon because it behaves more like Opera used to do and the Push feature and sync feature is PRICELESS to me in the workplace.

The only thing left that is VERY helpful is that it saves sessions or at least the last one you had open before closing the browser the recycle bin still allows you to re open the last tab you closed though i have to FISH and WADE through the browser menu to even FIND this feature that sat on the toolbar.

GOODBYE OPERA YOU WERE BEAUTIFUL WHEN IT WORKED BUT NOW ITS JUST NOT THE SAME AND USELESS TO ME.
