So I switched back to 32-bit Opera 12.17 fresh install without the mail profile and it has been stable since. So it looks like either my profile was corrupted or the 64-bit version I was using before was the cause.

I just hope compatibility with new websites (like the slow facebook) won't go down much further so I can continue using this awesome software.

So everyone knows the new Opera Versions are just a second-rate fork of Chrome missing most of the distinguishing good features of the original version, so I'm planning to use 12.17 until it stops working.

Sadly, this literally happens to me on average every hour or even more frequent, it just crashes with the error report box. It can happen when loading or displaying any website, or even while reading or sending e-mails with no website opened. This is really strange since at the time when 12.x was still new this rarely or never happened. Extension wise I only have Ghostery installed.

So I am curious if this is just a bug in my profile or installation or if this issue is widespread, in which case I will finally dump Opera and go Chrome or Firefox.

What are your experiences on 12.x stability?
