I must repeat that compatibility is not the major point of the switch to the Chromium engines.

ok, but the rest of your post is all about how chromium is more compatible .... anywho this message (the reason I made the post) happens daily now

I;>> outlook.com warned me my browser was incompatible and to try Chrome or Internet Explorer.

Hmm, no warning here.

That adds to yahoo answers (which has the same message)

Yahoo is just doing browser sniffing. If you dismiss the warning the page will work.

google (which just displays incorrectly)

Also browser sniffing and Opera being served with the old layout.

I'm aware all the sites work if you ignore the warning, my point was that if sites are going to single out opera irregardless then why bother with the new engine, stick with the older and better one

but the point was to stop spending resources in developing a complex rendering engine when they can just borrow an open source one and focus in other things.

what things?

The whole point of Opera moving to a new engine was that it was to be more compatible with other websites. But as of today I've found a third major website that says it's now not compatible.... outlook.com warned me my browser was incompatible and to try Chrome or Internet Explorer. That adds to yahoo answers (which has the same message) and google (which just displays incorrectly)

So my question is what's the point? if these websites are going to say Opera is incompatible (even if they aren't) then why bother. Go back to the presto engine, bring back the features we all want and focus on improving that.

I'm blind ha! seriously though the thread title font is bloody massive , have to zoom out or I'd get a headache . Like everything with Opera lately the older way was better. I can just imagine if I was in Opera board meetings I'd want to strangle everyone. New Opera is Poochi!
