Be happy with whatever you choose.

Thank you very much! I will now disappear disgruntling.. ops, what's this log into my eye?

The OP posted twice... twice. His last activity here was two months ago. I've seen this so many times it's become laughable. Disgruntled Opera users who never supported the old browser other than using it and seldom (if ever) supported the MyOpera Community, show up to post once or twice and then promptly disappear back into obscurity. And that is the level of support you can expect from this legion of complainers. The new browser now has millions of users... not a handful of whiners. It is getting better all the time and has a very frequent pattern of updating. Sure it will lose that handful of geeks who loved to tweak the old browser endlessly; it appears that's how they spent much of their day. But that should be of no concern to the developing team and to the shareholders who are beginning to see real profits from Opera properties.
Opera doesn't need to be infinitely customizable. Opera has extensions to bring about those changes in its features that some feel they must have. All of the popular browsers use extensions. Automatic updating is not a big issue; in fact, for many it's a lifesaver. While it's true that the PC is yours, the browser is NOT, dear user. You are given free use of it but bear in mind: it is NOT your property to do with as you please.

Dear leushino,
you may be the best human being in the world, but as a forum user you suck big way.

Attacking who is reporting the evident problems of this new version is useless, and make you appear as a pretentious user with no real clues on the matters about he is writing.
The way I spend my days is not your business. I may have diseases that force me to customize my browser?
You don't know if it is the case, so be advised: you risk to make very bad impressions if you write without thinking, just because you are in a rage.

More: many times it happpened to see lots of people following bad ideas.
The quantity and the quality are two very different matters. Opera seemed to aim to quality once.

Now they did an U conversion, in my opinion towards money, and I think this is very sad.
The old versions had smart, brilliant solutions to common problems. This Opera seems the result of a stupid person thinking he is a genius.

Anyways: you love it, you use it.
I won't allow a software (any software) to use my connection for whatever it likes without informing and without being allowed by me to do so.

I can get closer to the opera user experience by not using opera anymore, and that's what I have reached the point of doing.

Unfortunately I have to fully second this.

I have been user of Opera for some years, but never felt the need to post my disappointment.
I was an happy user who could luckily fix almost every Opera related problem I met. I think this is my first post here. I stopped using it right away after the chromium change. Just double checked yesterday to see if something had changed, but nothing did for me, and preferred to remove everything Opera-related to from my Pc.

Reasons are:

• lack of customization without resorting to arrows tricks for enabling "advanced"(???) settings

• need of an extension (!!!!!!!) only to set a blank page for a new tab

• update checker that starts by itself. Hey!!? Is my Pc yours, dear Opera?

Really, I think that you fired the wrong half of the developement team. And this is a bummer, because Opera was a great project.
Sry for bad english and for rant, but had to.
