The question should be WHY is it taking up 5GB

Using an older version of Flash is unsafe, most of those updates to the next version are security updates

Pretty much a generic thread, Now the New Opera is great, better than all the rest in the past, but no one says what's better about it, is it fixed and has all the user configurable options ? It has full bookmark functionality ? Options to remove the speed dial ? Set any search engine you like as default ? I saw no changelog for it, so what's better about it ? Also full google theme, compatibility would be nice.

Why ? what's different ? I'd kinda like to know before I decide to try it.

It's a very stripped down browser with hardly any options, you could probably put a link to it on the bookmarks bar then rename it "Home". In the newer versons of Opera "Home" is considered the speed dial page.

Better yet, Opera versus Slimjet.

All browsers based on Chromium do that, it's no biggee

What the point of opening a link or a new tab if it doesn't open in the foreground and you need to look for an extension for something the browser should do already, yes, that was very annoying when I was using Opera, the browser i use now does it all, but I keep checking back in the forums for news that Opera finally gets it right, but I wont hold my breath waiting for that to happen

The Website works in Slimjet but the sound dont work, no sound whatsoever, works perfectly in Firefox though

All Chromium-based browsers are well-known for poor customizability.
Anyway, customization of the browser UI is just "too geeky" for an average user.

No, not all Chromium based browsers lack customization abilities, I've mentioned the best one for that recently BUT, Opera is for the average user such as your grandmother or someone. Operas customization abilities is probably the least out of all the Chromium based browsers definetley not for geeks. The new Opera was created with simplicity in mind and is it's main trait, since you cant change much in it, the average user such as your grandmother can't screw anything up

Why not just reinstall Opera ? That should put everything back

I use a lot of Open Source stuff, nothing wrong with Open Source.
