@yclee72 solution worked for me also.

1. I tried to bookmark a page and I got some childish pictures started coming out, so didn't use it any more.

2. I don't use sync, because I use my devices in a different way. What I do on my desktop computer I don't do on a smartphone and vice versa- just as any serious computer user does. I don't run simulations or generate anaglyph 3D mathematical functions on my smartphone. Only thing that overlap are cat pics and fail videos, but I don't kinda need bookmarks for that.

3. Speed dial is lame. When I want to add a site to a speed dial, I can't just type in an address because it opens up a new screen... and new screens mean waste of time.

4. No they are not right. If you wanted a browser like this you could have used a Chrome from the beginning. This is what one would call an "Opera for 16 year old girls", so I'm still waiting for an "Opera for Normal people" version.
   Does anyone think it will come out any time soon?

@sidneyneto

Dozens of reasons, for example it doesn't even have CTRL+Z function anymore. I've started noticing useful program functions missing out one by one. Is the goal just to have a HTML parser and nothing else.

I am very seriously considering that Opera designers are either being blackmailed or they are exposed to some toxic matter inside the building they work...

This is ridiculous. Are everyone working for Opera using drugs? How can one not see that everything they've done in last year still can't surpass 12.17...

I gave it one more chance (v25) and it's as useless as Chrome.

What is the oldest version of Opera that will work with Win8?

I'd rather ditch Facebook, then upgrade to new Opera...

Yes, but it's too easy to keep posting requests (demands in some cases) for features without knowing or appreciating the work the Opera team are doing. Plus everyone has specific features they like, which ones to implement first?

Appreciating? I'm totally not appreciating Opera's leadership inability to admit that one of their managers (who probably never uses Opera himself and has very little knowledge of IT) made a mistake.

So now just for the sake that his ego doesn't get messed, we all have to put up with this c#ap of the product? Other Opera's employees are simply afraid (with a good reason) to say to their boss that his idea is pure s#it.

When is this man finally going to step back and admit that it's time to close down his "genial project"?

And BTW I need 'sort by time' in bookmarks.

Opera quote:

Since 2007 we’ve been asking randomly-selected people if we could anonymously collect information from their Opera install (via opera:config#UserPrefs|EnableUsageStatistics) so we could see the features they use. Some of these users have volunteered to give us this data since 2007.

OK, since 2007 I have been asking randomly-selected girls, do they want to have sex with me? Do you think that results of my investigation is legitimate to use when talking about all the girls?

And yeah, BTW , did I mention that I live in Amsterdam near the red district?

You don't see how this is disorganized?
Have you ever been on the airport and seen the flight board? Have you ever read a database data?
Did you notice that for better orientation and visualization it is usual to put one item in one line only?
