So like so many other programs, it's been "improved" to be less intuitive and to have less features and functionality? I tried dragging a new folder into another folder and it would not allow it. And a version of a browser that doesn't have book marks? Are you kidding me? Who approved THAT, and are they still employed at Opera? Speed dial is a great top 10 list, but is not, nor has it ever been, a suitable replacement for a full set of bookmarks. I think trying to use it that way is a miss application of the concept. And if I have to spend time looking for and installing extensions and plug ins for what has been basic browser functionality since the 90's, well, that counts as a FAIL in the design area as far as I'm concerned. Kinda like buying a brand new car only to find out that I need to go get an instrument cluster, brakes, and a radiator from a 3rd party vendor. I'll just go buy car that is finished being built at the factory. I'm not overly excited about Firefox, but at least it's mostly all there when the install is finished. Never liked Chrome, and have no interest in using it. HUGE step backwards for Opera as far as I'm concerned. Can't begin to imagine the development meeting where someone said "let's toss out the previous years work making an excellent browser and put out something that barely functions." and then everyone else thinking that was a great idea. Makes me sad.

I am in the "I need folders with sub folders that have sub folders, many of which will have sub folders" camp. It is much easier to organize and navigate my several hundred bookmarked pages this way. And if Opera is just a reskin of chrome, then I guess I'm done. There is a reason I used Opera and not Chrome. I started using Opera back in the late 90's because its UI was so far ahead of everything else. It took a few years, but every other browser slowly started to look and act like Opera. It's a sad day for me to know that Opera has quite leading and is now just one of the pack. I guess i'll keep using V12 until it just doesn't work anymore.

I was wondering this too. I use sub folders extensively. I installed the new Opera and was disappointed to find that the bookmark structure has been changed in a way that appears to have done away with sub folders. I have hundreds of pages bookmarked and a single folder with thumbnails is just NOT a good way to deal with them. Nor is having 100+ folders in the side bar. In fact I typically used the "mange bookmarks" screen as my speed dial page and it was perfect. I could not find anyway to create a sub folder in the new version. Nor could I find a screen that was the equivalent to the "mange bookmarks" screen from 12.17. So for now I've reverted back to 12.17.
