yea, Opera is now my second browser, speed isn't everything. I left it behind and went with Ice Dragon. It's very secure. I installed a real skin, not just a background picture. "all in one side bar" extension is great! I imported all my bookmarks from Opera 12.16 ( they didn't import correctly into Opera 20 ), and the speed dial works well. I'm going to keep an eye on Opera though. Hope it will not be so Micky Mouse someday. My 78 year old mom likes it though, she finds it very easy to use!

RE: OLD IS GOLD, we want new opera with all old stuffOpera for Windows
Who, who's been "fanning" it for months? Not me. Not biggerabalone. Who's insisting? Tell us! What, we can't mention the things we'd like to see? The things we miss. Yea Opera 20 is awesome, but we can't say what we'd like to see in it.

"Seriously, you should learn to use it and adapt your browsing habits to it instead of insist that it conform to your ideas... especially non-paying ideas."Are you kidding me?? Really!!!I can probably use it better than you! You are so condescending to us all. Your sad man. Really sad. Someday, somewhere on some other forum, maybe people will take you seriously again. Not here!
oh yea, and stop trolling the new people, it's not nice so knock it off!!!

Hey, I'll label you no problem! Your a Troll! Your the "cry baby" leushino. Even if a user states they like Opera but miss something, you feel the need to jump on them. You should just make a template telling people to learn to adapt, stick with 12.16, go to Seamonkey ,on and on. That would save you some time. You hate it when anyone isn't totally happy with the new Opera. It dives you crazy doesn't it!! We see it does. Well rest assured, we have read all your posts and because your so helpful, your the only one taking you seriously now Troll.

RE: Please bring back old bookmarksOpera for Windows
Hey, my kids asked me why I use Opera ok. I said that in my post. It's not that I'm out there trying to justify to everyone why I do. It was my kids alright!
In your second paragraph, it was nice to see you had the need to justify it to everyone though. That was classic !
I also have said I'm NOT one that has thousands of bookmarks. However, in one breath you say your not telling anyone how many bookmarks they should have, and in the next, you say they are ridiculous for having so many. Perhaps you shouldn't pass judgment on other Opera users!
I said that I don't expect the "Opera Team" to make a good bookmarks manager.
I've said more than once here, I like the new opera.
None of the kids today are going to switch over to Opera though. Like it or not, they have no reason to.
Did I mention I like the new Opera! I l i k e Opera 20!! Geeze....

RE: Please bring back old bookmarksOpera for Windows
Ok, geeze. First off, no person should be telling anyone how many bookmarks they should or shouldn't have, that's just silly K. I mean really..lol.
As I said, I'm enjoying the new Opera ( thanks to a few extensions ). Really though, why would the dev's bother adding the bookmarks again like it was ? Someone out there is going to try to make a good extension to do it for them. We won't be seeing a good bookmarks manager from Opera again I'm sure.
So, awhile ago, my teenagers asked "why are you using Opera? " (insert sneer here ). I was able to give them tens of reasons. Now, I can't. Have you seen how many extensions Chrome has? They're Chrome kids. I have nothing to tell them to make them want to try it. How this will get Opera get more users, I just don't get it.
Anyway, I'm sticking with Opera. Why anyone would switch from Chrome now though I'm not sure. Speed isn't everything and I agree with-

"Adding bookmark bar by Google and Opera is primitive".

RE: Please bring back old bookmarksOpera for Windows
herrpietrus- Thanks for the suggestion!! Us average users ( I guess that's what we are ) can find ways to enjoy the new Opera.
I'm going to stick with "simple bookmarks" for now. But I think it's great you found something that works for you too! What I really miss is the email in my browser. I really liked it. I'm keeping 12.16 just for that. I'm sticking with Opera and if you found "neater bookmarks", and it works good for you, then I think that is great!! The bookmark thing is starting to get old.

RE: Please bring back old bookmarksOpera for Windows
Well, that's off topic here but that's ok with me. I'm sorry to say my understanding is all that is gone bye bye. I don't know if they can do something special for you, but from what I understand your screwed. I hope I'm wrong. Sorry my friend.

" Well, I only have about 200 bookmarks, perhaps fewer, organized in about 20-25 folders. I hope that with such numbers I'm not quirky, geeky user... but still bokkmark tree and side panel is way more useful to me. I suppose... not only to me."I'm much like you. Having a few hundred bookmarks, I actually thought I was a power user, I see that's not the case now.
I really miss the bookmarks from 12.16. It was really powerful. I decided to give 20 a chance, and after reading the forums, I went to the extensions and downloaded "simple bookmarks"
https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/simple-bookmarks/?display=en
It's really quite good, in fact, I have never tried the "bookmarkes bar" because of it. Now guys, don't yell at me, I know it's not as good, but it makes using Opera 20 enjoyable for me. Just my 2 cents
