luckily it shouldn't be too hard to fix.

It isn't, there's at least 2 way of doing it in the post I linked in my first reply.

This should help: https://forums.opera.com/post/41576

I meant if spending time adding more advanced configuration option is worth the extra users it will bring them, not the switch to blink.

...(but more time-consuming)...

That is the reason the devs swiched to Blink.

But if the goal is to get more user, it would help towards that. The hard thing is to figure out if it's worth it or not.

It's also easy(but more time-consuming) to please both with an advanced config page to toggle features.

It's on the same line when it's maximized, but not when it isn't.

But seeing wakingup screenshot made me realize how you could move the window if it would be on the same line: by having a title bar which was already a pain in the ass to re-enable after each update in v12.

To be fair, he has a point even though he said it in pretty much the worst way possible.

You can't use it in opera if that's what you're asking, my recommendation was to switch to firefox with that extension installed.

Read the forum a bit more, they started from scratch after v12.17 since they couldn't use a new web engine with the old UI and the old engine was too much trouble to maintain.

Your only option to get back the features is to stick with v12.17 for as long as you can and hope something better comes along.

I can recommend the firefox extension tab utilities which has tab stacking similar to the old opera(and a ton of nice customization options) or you can have faith that otter browser will blossom into something good since their goal is to bring back many of the old opera features.

I have no beef with dreamers as long as we recognize that this browser is little more than that ... whistling in the graveyard. It should not be held up as a possible alternative to Opera Blink which is an awesome browser and is rapidly gaining a loyal following in spite of all the negative posts from a handful of former Opera users. Opera Presto is dead. Deal with it and move on.

So since I don't recognize that since I clearly see it as a possible viable alternative, this means you do have a beef with them. It's a working browser with good compatibility with websites so I don't know why you keep insisting it's not a viable alternative.

Presto isn't dead yet BTW, that's what I'm using right now to write this post and I still use it for many websites. I did migrate to firefox as my main browser though since I wanted to switch before too many problems with it started to appear.

I've moved on, but I don't have to deal with anything you said since I disagree with pretty much everything.

Why would lose if it is getting better and better?

Because it getting better and better is a very subjective thing, I had to stop updating it back when I was giving it a fair shot since it was getting worse for me.
