Times has changed and so did Opera, but honestly the new Opera is horrible, sad, void but at least is 0.35 seconds more fast with less strange alien look options! What is a shortcut? Viva la simplicity! (for your average user)
What I think is really ironic is how Opera (Presto) was ahead in functionality and looked like everybody was trying to copy ideas from it but Opera remained as an obscure browser.
I really appreciate the effort you do ranting about the new Opera, but our Swiss army browser is lost, un-appreciated and has no future with the current "friendly" trends.
Maybe this wouldn't happen if the marketing team had taught the normal user how to make us of the advance options in Opera Presto.
I'm still using Opera 12.17 and Firefox for page compatibility.
But we do still have hope and I hope more people is willing to help this project:
