New version is more compatible, but less usable.
Everything is buried or missing.
There isn't a history back button, I need to go back through every page.
There isn't a dedicated stop button or a way to make one.
The wands missing, so I have to go through the web page and find the button that submits the form.
Can't enable the title bar so I have to search each page to figure out if I'm on the right forum thread.
There is no easy way to switch through different useragent strings.
There is no way to change settings for each individual site.
There is no dedicated search, search string is replaced with URL.
There is no way to display details in the download bar, and the details that do go vertically wasting space.
Themes only change the background image.
But it does handle ajaj and ajax better than 12. Does anyone know why so many devs are using javascript for links and images anyway?
Also who is the chick in the photo next to the login for the opera forums, and what does she have to do with logging in?
