Did I create the topic? No. I simply commented in it, giving my opinion, because you know that's what forums are for and stuff. Discussion.

Am I mad? Not even close.

I loved Opera because it was one of the few browsers left that treated me like an adult. Removing this left one feature I like: gestures. And I'm pretty sure the productivity saving of gestures is out weighed my having to manually open a file. I might add that I had to specifically set up Opera to open this file type with an external program in the first place. So the whole "It's for security" argument is invalid. I want to use my computer as I see fit. Removing the onus of security from users onto the O/S, or application in the case, creates stupid users who feel like they can randomly click anything and the softwares will save them! If you think this is a good thing, you're wrong. It isn't. Education trumps ignorance.

Opera market desktop market share is going up, not down. Still, why the ranting and raging? Do you see any devs here? Any paid Opera staff? You know, people that can change these things? You are standing in the middle of a bookstore yelling at other customers that your favorite author's newest work is crap.

So if people don't like something that a software developer does that changes how they fundamentally interface with their product, what else should they do than comment on that developers forum? Should we get the phone numbers of the developers and call them up and abuse them? Obviously not. If developers and Opera staff don't pay attention to their forums, maybe it's just another sign that they don't care about what their users want. In which case why should anyone support their product?
