Re: Scandinavian Thinking

Hi,
I'm a university professor sharing my time with students.
Only within this year it had to happen that those automatic updates destroyed my working hours two times (2) on your part while browsing was not possible properly, the 1st time catastrophically, the second and the last time partially. Now, I cannot post my messages within a forum, as the form has no window to write in. With one word, I cannot further let this App do everything on my tablet what the developers may want to do.
I attach a screenshot what I can see on my screen now: This is a forum message form where a message text window lacks while showing some kind of a handle in the middle and a line, so I cannot introduce any text.
Do you think it's quite normal? What should I do please?
Thank you.

Gentlemen,

I have Opera 72.0.3815.186 as being installed on Win 10.
Never complained apropos of Snapshot tool. It worked.
Now, it doesn't: All instruments are as frozen. Why?
I can read here only complaints.
What does the Team hereto say?

@leocg

Menu > Help > About Opera, not that difficult to find out.

The matter is that not opera.com evaluates users, but vice versa.

The consequences are relevant, just to compare it to the number of users, say, of Firefox or that of Chrome.

I made 2 honest tries to make use of Opera in 2013 and 2019.

No satisfaction so far.

Thank you.

Thanks for understanding, I appreciate your prompt reply.
However, the main advantage in this version for me should seemingly be the battery saving on a tablet.

Also, any former versions might not be eventually accepted by Windows 10.

I still find boring the both questions:

First: Where is here the version statement to find, as formerly found in "About"? What number is it?
Second: Why not merely make the column boundaries movable?

Hi, I've downloaded the latest Opera cause they label it as battery saving.
Thus, running it on a (Windows) 10 inches tablet.
However, I've been totally disappointed:
Say, a children-garden boy would find it a marvel cause it is totally new to him.
But, what about university professors? Should they start learning it as if they would have never seen any browser in their lives before? Well, functions may differ, OK.
But, at least some 50% or so in its design should be a priori understandable.
In other words: Intuitively accessible! - One can't even find out what version it is! - Where is the traditional "About" section, please?!

Well, these developers would be the ones coming from stars and not thinking like people from this planet, may be. Just like covering the 12 digit places while entering the Opera site. - Even financial banks have been satisfied with only 6 digits!

But, I cannot do anything with this interface on a 10 inches tablet, say, in History section: How should I even in bright all the columns? Today / Yesterday /Older section takes much more space than any Site Title (5 letters allowed only). I cannot move the column boundaries on a 10 inches tablet indeed, at least in Windows 10! How should I proceed then? What should I do? - The History section is this way totally non-informative! - The interface should be somewhat traditional for the most people and therefore intuitive, too. Alas. Am I mistaken?

@ sgunhouse

You never said that you actually get another browser set as default.

But you've been 'clever' enough to have asked whether we'd like to have it set as default at installation!
Why are you referring to a third party product and its behaviour like Microsoft we should have to take care of instead of granting us the right to change the previous setting of ours, or decision, made during the installation, at present once again??? That had always been granted in older browsers formerly.

The same thing and right counts for looking for updates. I was unable to locate a possibility to switch updates off. I don't want to be on search within the browser for that option if I can't see it at once. So, again you decide upon myself, now, when I should make updates!

Sorry, but this unpardonable behaviour isn't that of common-sense-policy. Merely, you are taking us for idiots assuming we all are 20-yrs-old guys who never have known better times before the introduction of the philosophy of minimizing and reduction of the interface functions by Google! However, I can't deem you've got common sense at that minimizing.

Your latest versions of Opera look like something for kids or else - for old grannies experiencing demencia senil at hospices!
