[Aurion]

Don't know why I feel that I will start using that Opera Browser very soon :tongue:

[anon]

Well... will you? :eek3:
I can give you some tips :wink:

Updated to 9.52 today but its scrolling feels different :frown:

[vDD+wR]

think i will download this version too, since the 9.50 had still a few bugs in it..


Updated to 9.52 today but its scrolling feels different :frown:

maybe you have still activated the smooth-scrolling or haven't diabled it... don't know what's for you different. :wink:

greetz

[rufus0815]

flash improved but still sucks ass under linux
and the update crashed my personal searches :frown:

Nevertheless
great browser and a lot of things feel more stable with the update

[Logitech]

Could someone tell me why I should change from browser?

I use Firefox for quite some time.
Never had any problem with it and I got plug-ins for everything I need.

What can Opera offer me that Firefox can't.

[Ostracized]

Opinions are all over the net, its not even hard to find.

In the end its what suits you.

[anon]

@vDD+wR: thought that too, but I have had smooth scrolling disabled all the time, both in 9.50 and this update, and still... :frown:

@rufus0815: close Opera, delete its search.ini file (can be located both at %programfiles%\Opera and %appdata%\Opera\Opera\profile), run it again and let it recreate the file. Then go to Tools -> Options -> Search, and re-add your custom search engines there :top:

@Logitech: who said you should change your browser? :biggrin:

Everything has its advantages and disadvantages... For some people, Op "feels" faster than FF (I'm one of those :smile:, but it may be because I'm more used to O than FF now), starts faster and has more features, but for FF users they're nothing you can't add through extensions/add-ons [Firefox is very extensible], and, depending on the settings or tweaks applied (sometimes even if none has been), Firefox uses less memory than Opera, specially with a lot of open tabs at the same time.

So it's like Ostracized said :top:

[vDD+wR]

just downloading the new version..

im very excited if i experience the same bug/feature too.. :wink:

[anon]

Hope you don't :biggrin:
Anyway it depends on how you 'felt' v9.50's scrolling, and the new one :wink: So you may not even have the 'bug' at all because it's an user-side "setting" :tongue:

[vDD+wR]

So you may not even have the 'bug' at all because it's an user-side "setting" :tongue:

and so it is :rolleyes2:
i dont experience any difference in the scrolling behaviour on this site at least...
but i hope you don't wanna switch to FF now! :tongue:

[anon]

That's good :wink:


but i hope you don't wanna switch to FF now! :tongue:

No way! I'll switch to using the Space bar to scroll pages down instead :cool2:

[vDD+wR]

so the bug only appears when you scroll with the scrollbar!??!:eek3:

thats kinda strange.. :wink:

[anon]

so the bug only appears when you scroll with the scrollbar!??!:eek3:

And when pressing the middle mouse button and moving your cursor down :/

[rufus0815]

@rufus0815: close Opera, delete its search.ini file (can be located both at %programfiles%Opera and %appdata%OperaOperaprofile), run it again and let it recreate the file. Then go to Tools -> Options -> Search, and re-add your custom search engines there :top:

already done ;)
but i backuped my old searches first and copy pasted them (with a few changes) to my profile search.ini
Working as expected now.

But thanks for your advice anyway

[anon]

No problem ^^
I have had that problem too, but since I only have 3 custom search engines (Google -sending less info in the url than the original setting-, Youtube and Wikipedia), it was always easier for me to re-add them.
So I didn't know about your method (which is even faster), thanks :top:

[cDDDe]

Version 9.52 is very good. I had no problems yet.
Where can I find Opera 9.52 Multi ... Portable?

btw

if you're looking for some Adblocking for Opera
-> Fanboy's Adblock List for Opera (http://www.fanboy.co.nz/adblock/opera/)

works great for me - no more ads :top:

[boyscout]

for opera adblocking my fav is, BFilter: About (http://bfilter.sourceforge.net/) :top:

[anon]

@rufus0815 & botscout: I use Outpost v4's ad blocker and not Opera's, but those lists are really useful for my portable Opera, so that annoying popup and "flying" ads won't bother me anymore when I'm at school or a cafe... thanks! :top:
