I found the swipe up gesture for tab a bit annoying. When scrolling across tabs in classic view with 1 hand holding the phone, it easily closes a tab.

The old Opera gave a very high ability to be customized. Possibly power users like me and others have changed them quite differently, so no other browsers really suit, nothing more can do than just cry here. Like what my changes is about left hand control on keyboard, right hand on mouse. Even the defaults for Opera 12, or even Opera 9, don't suit.

Not the thing of funny. It's related to usability. Firefox is better than Google Chrome in my opinion. Browser, piece of software, is not just compatibility.

(Of course I voted Opera 12, praying that Opera x0 will be better one day )

Voted. Hope there will be a better and usable version. (Chrome is not considered "usable" in my definition.)

Hope they will finally implement customizable shortcuts. Especially shortcut sequence, it is very useful for less often actions,no need to waste a ctrl+*

Thanks. It saves a binary file.

I believe that a page freezes the new Opera. I want to delete the last browsing session so that the page is not opened at start. In Opera 12, I can delete sessions/autosave.win, but which file should I delete in the new Opera?

On the other hand, Presto uses less system resources (processor, RAM, etc,) ... anyone using a system more than about 5 years old may have trouble with WebKit.

Not only with older computers, but memory intensive works on a 2-year-old computer. 8GB RAM is just enough to use Presto.

Talking about compatibility, Chrome does have issues. It might be optimized and tuned for a certain websites, but it's not a silver bullet. Every browser has issues in my experience. Some has webpage login issues, some has rendering issues. And the one having rendering issues is Google Chrome.

Quite agree that marketing is not so accurate to the product. It was advertised to be "the fastest browser on the Earth". Sometimes later it became "our best browser", ignoring any good features like customizable shortcuts, GUI, and small memory footprint. Actually, all these "ignored features" really make me browse fast, not just the rendering speed that my eyes can't really catch.

After some time of use, the phone need to be restarted. (Or is there any way to rescue?) Here describes the symptoms. Touching the home button: no response. Touching the old app list button: the list shows up, but I can't switch to another app. Exiting Opera: the home screen does not show up, there is only the wallpaper. Inside Opera before exit: I can still do some operations, like switch tabs.

My phone is Alcatel OneTouch 992D. When this happened, Opera was not in off-road mode.
