View Full Version : [Multi] The Opera Thread
opera users may have long waited for this:
and as anon and me have inquired the guys from chip.de got it exclusively which means that we here, at sb-i, are nearly the first guys who can use the final version of opera 9.6.
although the built-in update function of opera 9.52 and the website itself don't show the update so far its still the final which you can download on the website:
Opera - Download - CHIP Online (http://www.chip.de/downloads/c1_downloads_hs_getfile_v1_16089232.html?t=1223402 763&v=3600&)
because only chip.de offers the final version, i couldnt get the real changelog of the final but i provide you with latest changelogs beginning from the beta1.
Opera 9.6 Beta 1 for Windows Changelog
Release Notes
This is a beta version of Opera. Please use it only on properly backed up computers.
New and improved features
Opera Link
Custom search engines and typed history (typed history is only the history you explicitly type or select from the address bar) are now joining bookmarks, speed dial, personal bar, and notes in Opera Link.
Feed Preview
Now you can preview an RSS/Atom feed before subscribing.
Opera Mail
Low Bandwidth Mode
Low Bandwidth Mode is a setting on mail accounts that makes Opera Mail use as little bandwidth as possible.
For IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol), this means that Opera will only synchronise new messages and it will not fetch message attachments unless requested
For POP (Post Office Protocol), Opera will not fetch more than the first 100 lines of a message unless requested
Follow/Ignore threads and contacts
Follow and Ignore are new features for users that receive numerous messages. It makes it easier to dismiss unimportant messages and easier to recognise important messages.
Activate this feature by selecting Follow/Ignore in the email context menu (or click the message subject header), then select either Follow Thread or Ignore Thread. Also, you can click the names in the From or To headers to enable the following or ignoring of contacts.
Go To Thread
You can now also use "Go to thread" which means that you can view only the messages from that thread. This is useful for those that employ flat view.
Changes since Opera 9.52
User Interface
Opera now remembers the bookmark panel position after restart
Added a setting opera:config#UserPrefs|
ShowBookmarksInAddressfieldAutocompletion to prevent bookmarks from showing in the Address field auto-completion drop-down
When setting opera:config#TransferWindow|KeepEntriesDays to 0, Opera now removes the transfer history when restarting
The new Opera Scrollmaker will indicate the previous position of the bottom or top of the page after a scroll action, and needs to be enabled with opera:config#UserPrefs|EnableScrollMarker
Value 0 means: off
Value 1 means: show when reaching the bottom or top of the page, and when the last scroll action scrolls less than a full page's amount
Value 2 means: always show when scrolling
Once enabled, it will indicate the position of the bottom or top of the page before a scroll action is initiated
Sites using HTTP Auth are now saved in typed history

__EDIT__
as winfuture.de states in its article, the final version of opera is similar to the Release Candidate 2 Build 10447.
source: WinFuture.de - Browser Opera in neuer Version 9.60 veröffentlicht (http://winfuture.de/news,42787.html)
who had installed this version of opera doesnt need to uninstall it and download the final cause its the same.:wink:
I love Opera, eh??
Did you know that OPera also has stumbleupon?
The same that FF browser has. I made a post of this elsewhere here.
But Opera is a great browser, though.
What I like about it is the mouse gestures. Something that lacks in firefox. With FF, you have to use mouse and hotkeys.
Lots of things I like about Opera. The ability to automatically place your username and pass into the appropriate fields with hotkeys.
With FF, you still have to type at least the first letter before your pass and username show up. ....I know....security feature and all.
OPera is such a great browser. Too bad its under-appreciated. I find anyways. I think all the attention is on FF, you know.
o
well looks like SealLion really love this browser.....maybe i as an ff user should give it a try :wink:
Thanks vDD :biggrin:
@SL: I don't use mouse gestures myself, but they're a nice feature to have. :smile:
And regarding the password wand, yes, that's very handy, but remember the wand.dat file's encryption can be broken very easily (unless you set a master password). So as I don't use one, I have told Opera not to remember the passwords of important sites (SB-I, trackers and my e-mail box), and to delete cookies on exit, just in case I'm hacked. :top:
Too bad it isn't as widespread as FF like you said. :frown: But who knows, maybe this changes over time. Also remember Chrome has gained a lot of attention recently, even surpassing Opera (which has been around for yers) when it comes to market share in just a few weeks.
@hit: you're going to try Opera? That's good! :smile: If you need help, tips, etc. just tell me.
I think its good that Opera ist underestimated...makes it less attractive for Hackers... :-D
well im using it now as default browser its quite amazing how much faster the sites are loading i only need now plugins like noscript because i cant deactivate for the whole sites the java plugin that would be a little bit to much :biggrin:
i'm not quite sure if it's that what youre looking for, but i hope this can help you as well!
it's a quite long thread but that's the only thing that i've found so far:
A Script like NoScript. - User JavaScript - Opera Community (http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=205858)
hope i could help. :top:
greetz vDD
@vDD: I think that's exactly what he's looking for. BlockIt is essentially the Opera equivalent of NoScript, and works very well. :top:
@hitman: Glad to know you're now an Opera user! :biggrin:
I have posted a mini-tutorial in how to use BlockIt here. (http://www.sb-innovation.de/40802-post11.html)
And I personally keep Java always disabled unless I need it, because a Flash technology called Live Connect sometimes loads the whole JRE into memory, often without a good reason. Just a tip :smile:
@vDD: I think that's exactly what he's looking for. BlockIt is essentially the Opera equivalent of NoScript, and works very well.

thats a great tip, thx! didnt know that!:top:
Thanks!
I'm now back home, and have installed v9.6. During installation it asked me for an Opera installer.msi file I didn't have. Clicking Cancel was enough for setup to proceed and finish perfectly.
Overall it works pretty much fine - have had an issue with SB-I index's announcements where only the first line would be shown, but that's now fixed. :smile:
Regarding tips, here are also some others:
Users of old computers should probably turn javascript off by default unless a page requires it. Remember F12 toggles these settings easily and quickly.
Try "Delete Private Data" clearing everything (you shouldn't need to delete cookies or wand passwords), to see if clearing the cache, history and favicons helps.
Set Opera to accept all cookies. You can set individual cookies treatment within Opera 9+ version like SPP. For Opera's general info for Security and Privacy see [http://www.opera.com/support/tutorials/security/privacy].
Favicons will use resources, if you need absolutely minimal resource usage, turn them off (show no icons) in Prefs » Advanced » Browsing » Page Icons. If you want to have a few permanent icons and delete the rest with Delete Private Data (set using "clear bookmark visited time"), then go to your profile/images directory and make the images you want to keep read only.
To save a few CPU cycles, turn off special effects for the UI and use a native skin (native skins use less resources).
Put the cache on a drive different to windows (see OperaTips (http://operawiki.info/OperaTips) for how) and keep the drives well defragmented.
You may save some RAM by unpacking the executables; see PackedExecutables (http://operawiki.info/PackedExecutables) for more.
Converting the disk cache to a RAM cache will also speed things up; if you want to try a flash disk, see below.
Some people change the process priority of Opera to get a further enhancement (set to 'high'), but only do this if you are not multitasking with other apps.
Source: Opera Performance Enhancements (http://operawiki.info/OperaPerformance)
They also have other troubleshooting steps in that page. Disabling "turbo mode" is specially a good idea to save resources:
If you want to save memory and resources, edit opera6.ini and add:
Turbo mode=0
Remember also that Shift+i toggles graphics between off/cache/on - you can use a default of cached only and this will greatly speed up page load, pressing Shift+i to load any images (or right-clicking individual pictures and selecting Load Image). It is also possible to press i to load all images on a page that requires images to be displayed.
I like the post that was made by one of the users there at the Opera forum on the noscript for Opera
Thank you so much for this great script. With the new block-by-default option, I can finally dump Firefox!
LOL...kind of funny, I thought.
EDIT:
what is the difference between
Boost Turbo=0
which is located in the same .ini file??
and the turbo mode=0
i
Sorry. But I've had to double post for this.
There was an anti js that one could download from the Opera Community. I found this quite a while back some few weeks ago.
I passed this info on to Anon. I think that he's also using this as I am.
There is a small thread about Blockit.js that does one up on the noscript.js that 'shoust' made.
And I have to agree. The blockit.js does work pretty good.
THe link is here:
BlockIt, the User Javascript answer to NoScript - User JavaScript - Opera Community (http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=241208)
Read the whole thread to understand how to install it and where. It really does excellent work too as the noscript.js apparantly does.
HOLY Frak!!!!
I'm over 200 posts!!!
I spend waaaay tooo much time here,dudes. Waaaayyy tooo much time.
o
i have blockit running but well i have to say that it is not confortable in some situations like noscript. at all blockit is a combination of noscript and adblock for ff it makes a good job but well loocking on all the ff plugins there is a lot of space to improve and im still divided in 2 pieces because of this both browsers have positive and negative aspects. and im not loocking on this as a ff fanboy because im interested only in functionalaty, speed..........
EDIT:
what is the difference between
which is located in the same .ini file??
and the turbo mode=0
I don't know, what's Boost turbo supposed to do?
Turbo mode is an Opera feature that will start rendering images the second you receive a part of them, and not "popping" them up when they finish transfering instead. So that this way it "feels" smoother, but re-scaling images several times a second uses a lot of CPU. Disabling it avoids these resource usage spikes, but page rendering will feel less smooth as images having finished transfering will "pop" up from nowhere... I personally don't care about this, so I have disabled it.
Sorry. But I've had to double post for this.

Congrats for your 200th post and thumbs up :top:
Edit @hit: hopefully we'll get your problem fixed soon over ICQ :smile:
@anon: you mean operadef6.ini ? since there is no opera6.ini file at all,searched all sub-directories for that...also inside the operadef6.ini there wasn't anything related to "Turbo mode = 0" part... :confused2:
@anon: you mean operadef6.ini ? since there is no opera6.ini file at all,searched all sub-directories for that...also inside the operadef6.ini there wasn't anything related to "Turbo mode = 0" part... :confused2:
No, you've got to add the 'turbo mode=0' to the file.
There is only a 'boost mode' in the .ini file.
I believe that what ANon is saying is that you've got to ADD the turbo mode=0' to the file.
@Aurion:
1. the opera6.ini file is located at %appdata%\Application Data\Opera\Opera\profile
2. you have to add the turbo mode line yourself, make it look exactly like this:
Turbo mode=0
ok but under what section coz there are several ones ?!
yeah OK done :klatsch_3: Thanks...
The new improved Opera 9.62 has been released. 2 major security holes were fixed, so that it is recommended that everbody should upgrade to the latest version. :top:
Changes since Opera 9.61
Security

The links panel no longer allows cross-site scripting;
The new Opera 9.62 can be downloaded here: Dow nload Opera Web Browser (http://www.opera.com/download/)

i think would be a good idea to change the name of the topic to "the Opera thread" or something like that, cause the way it is now, everyone ,reading the name, assumes it's only about the 9.60. :wink: thx in advance to the mods!

Good decision :top: When logged in and first saw a "new" Opera Thread which was two pages long already, I thought "a heavy discussion has taken place here" :biggrin:
I'm downloading 9.62 right now, and will upgrade when I get home. Thanks for your post :wink:
thx shoulder, for the adjustment!
np, guys. it was my pleasure to help.
i think its much nicer now that the title clears it for everyone what actually is talked about here. :top:

I've also added my Web Developer Menu to my site, which you can download and install automatically to Opera by clicking the link below. The menu adds lots of new context-sensitive options to Opera for validating your pages, tweaking forms and finding out info about the domain you are viewing. In fact, all the things that budding web developers would find useful! See the example screenshot for an idea of what it can add to your Opera.

Programming - Opera Browser Tools (http://www.diplo.co.uk/design/operatools.php)
It's very useful even if you aren't a Web developer so I decided to share it with you :top:
If you click the download link, Opera will automatically download and install (with your confirmation) the menu setup. After it's done, you'll see the Developer menu next to Tools.

awesome adblock, using for ages: Fanboy's AdBlock List (http://www.fanboy.co.nz/adblock/)
Thirteen-year-old Opera has been the perennial underdog in the browser wars, but the Opera 10 alpha brings some unexpected firepower to the battlefield.
Quelle: First look at Opera 10 - ZDNet.co.uk (http://news.zdnet.co.uk/software/0,1000000121,39570762,00.htm)
I hope it's an intressting Post for my friends all over the World :rolling_eyes:
@Snitlev: It was :biggrin:
I have just tested it. It passes the Acid3 test indeed (100/100), and page loading is done slighly faster than in 9.62. Can't wait to see a portable version of this build - perhaps it could be done by taking v9.62 Portable, replacing Opera.dll and renaming v10's opera.exe to op.com for the time being.
I have found the changelog:
Changes Since Opera 9.62
Presto
Opera 10.0 includes the Presto 2.2 rendering engine. Detailed changes since Presto 2.1.1 (http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/presto-2-1-web-standards-supported-by/) are listed below:
Rendering
Significant performance improvements
Added Web font support, allowing the download of fonts specified in font descriptors in @font-face at-rules; TrueType (TTF), OpenType (OTF), and SVG fonts are supported (demos (http://www.alistapart.com/articles/cssatten))
Achieved 100/100 and pixel-perfect rendering on the Acid3 test
Pretty-printing of unstyled XML (using unstyledxml.css in the Styles sub-directory of Opera's installation directory)
Added support for CSS3 RGBA color values (http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-color/#rgba-color) (demo (http://www.css3.info/preview/rgba/))
Added support for CSS3 HSLA color values (http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-color/#hsla-color) (demo (http://www.css3.info/preview/hsla/))
Added support for the CSS3 color: transparent (http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-color/#transparent) value
Added support for the viewport meta tag key (http://developer.apple.com/documentation/appleapplications/reference/safarihtmlref/Articles/HTMLExtensions.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40002066-DontLinkElementID_13)
Improved HTML5 support, including end-tag and start-tag parsing, whitespace parsing, and DOCTYPE parsing
CSS files must be served with the correct MIME type ("text/css") in Strict mode or they will be ignored
JavaScript/DOM
New regular expression engine, which greatly improves performance on regular-expression-heavy pages such as the SunSpider JavaScript Benchmark (http://www2.webkit.org/perf/sunspider-0.9/sunspider.html)
Added support for the W3C Selectors API (http://www.w3.org/TR/selectors-api/)
Renamed the objects returned by getClientRects() and getBoundingClientRect() to ClientRectList and ClientRect instead of TextRectangle and TextRectangleList, respectively
XMLHttpRequests will now trigger start-loading/end-loading events
Removed the proprietary window.setDocument method
Added support for the SVGElement.currentFps and SVGElement.targetFps properties to read and control, respectively, SVG frames per second
The load event for scripts is now sent after the script is executed rather than before
The load event is now sent to frame/iframe/object elements before it is sent to the document
A highlight will no longer be added when HTMLElement.focus() is called unless keyboard navigation is already activated
Other
Removed UTF-32 encoding support
User JS files will now be executed in alphabetical order rather than file system order
HTML5 canvas elements can now export images to the JPEG format
HTML5 canvas transforms are applied when building a path, not when painting it (this change is made to work like Mozilla)
The first ID (instead of the last) is now used on pages with duplicate IDs when navigating to fragment IDs
Added support for the altGlyph element (http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/text.html#AlternateGlyphs) in SVGs
Added support for 32-bit alpha in BMP and RLE-encoded BMP images
Implemented HTML5's algorithms for detecting charsets in HTML
The http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40 namespace is no longer treated as an alias to http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
User Interface
Auto-Update
Opera now includes the ability to automatically update itself when new releases become available. By default, Opera 10.0 Alpha 1 will simply notify the user about available updates. Users can specify that snapshots should be downloaded by enabling Download All Snapshots in opera:config (opera:config#AutoUpdate|DownloadAllSnapshots). Users can also choose not to check for updates or to automatically install updates by going to Preferences > Advanced > Security and changing the "Opera update level" setting.
Inline Spelling Checker
Spelling errors are now indicated as you type via a red underline in input fields, Opera Mail, and Notes. The input field context menu includes spelling suggestions, as well as the ability to enable/disable the spelling checker and change dictionary languages. Opera 10.0 Alpha 1 includes a U.S. English dictionary. Only multi-line edit fields check spelling automatically by default.
Opera 10.0 uses the Hunspell dictionary format. Installing dictionaries will become easier before Opera 10.0 is released, but additional dictionaries can be downloaded (http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries) and installed now by copying the dictionary files (*.aff and *.dic) to the local dictionary directory. Opera will recognize the additional dictionaries after restarting. The dictionary directory locations for each platform are listed below:
Windows: dictionaries (where is the 'Opera directory' in opera:about (opera:about))
Linux/UNIX: /dictionaries/ (where is the 'Opera directory' in opera:about (opera:about))
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Opera 10/Dictionaries/
Mail/News
Rich Text Message Composition
Opera Mail can now send rich text messages including inline images, styled text, links, and/or custom HTML. Forwarding and redirecting rich text messages now also works as expected. Rich text composition can be enabled by default for an account on the Outgoing tab of the account settings dialog by checking "Prefer HTML formatting". It can also be enabled on a per message basis in the message composition window.
Bold styling, italic styling, and underline styling can be toggled using Ctrl-B, Ctrl-I, and Ctrl-U, respectively.
Rich text message signatures are not yet supported.
Delete After X Days (POP-only)
Delete after X days automatically removes messages from POP servers after the specified number of days, which is particularly useful for users who have limited server space. This option can be enabled for POP accounts on the Incoming tab of the account settings dialog by checking "Remove from server after #days" (7 days by default). It's also possible to specify that only read messages and/or only fully downloaded messages should be removed.
Warning: Disabling the latter option is dangerous for those that use low-bandwidth mode, as messages that aren't completely downloaded will be removed from the server, making it impossible to retrieve the complete message.
Other Changes
When viewing a message, message subjects are now a text field again instead of a button
Added a Thread button to the message list toolbar
Added keyboard shortcuts for Go to Thread (D), Watch Thread (Ctrl-D), and Ignore Thread (Ctrl-Shift-D)
The encoding mismatch dialog has been removed
Miscellaneous
Network access for widgets is now opt-in. Thus, all existing widgets must be updated in order to have network access. All widgets on widgets.opera.com (http://widgets.opera.com/) have been given Internet access. Network access is specified using the network attribute of the widget element. For instance, widgets that use <widget network="private"> will have Intranet access only. Widgets that use <widget network="private public"> will have Intranet and Internet access.
Dragonfly now selects the current tab automatically
Dragonfly now includes an HTTP inspector
Added support for TLS 1.2
SSL v2 and weak cipher support have been completely removed
Fixed numerous stability issues
Plugged numerous memory leaks

Release Notes
Changes since Opera 9.62
Security
Manipulating text input contents can allow execution of arbitrary code, as reported by Red XIII. See our advisory.
HTML parsing flaw can cause Opera to execute arbitrary code, as reported by Alexios Fakos. See our advisory.
Long hostnames in file: URLs can cause execution of arbitrary code, as reported by Vitaly McLain. see our advisory.
Script injection in feed preview can reveal contents of unrelated news feeds, as reported by David Bloom. See our advisory.
Built-in XSLT templates can allow cross-site scripting, as reported by Robert Swiecki of the Google Security Team. See our advisory.
Fixed an issue that could reveal random data, as reported by Matthew of Hispasec Sistemas. Details will be disclosed at a later date.
SVG images embedded using <img> tags can no longer execute Java or plugin content, suggested by Chris Evans.
As it is stated that some security holes are fixed, I suggest to switch over to that version! (either by updating (if it works) or by un-/reinstalling the newer version :top:)

greetings vDD+wR
Thanks for your post, I have just installed the new version. :top:
Opera 9.63 incorporates the Opera Presto 2.1.1 user agent engine.
This is how it looks:
Opera/9.63 (Windows NT 5.1; U; es-ES) Presto/2.1.1
As it is stated that some security holes are fixed, I suggest to switch over to that version! (either by updating (if it works) or by un-/reinstalling the newer version :top:)
MsiZap (http://sqlblog.com/blogs/linchi_shea/archive/2008/08/12/msizap-is-your-friend.aspx) can come handy if something goes wrong during the installation and leftovers from both the old and new versions remain. :thumbsup:
Edit: just noticed that it seems to many people have updated that the server hosting Opera's "you're now using the latest version" page is overloaded!

"The server cannot respond to your request at the moment due to maintenance or capacity issues. We ask you to please repeat the operation later." :biggrin:
i love opera cause it is very flexible, have lotsa features and looked nice.
but i don't know why in my computer it sometimes used a lot of memories.
i use opera 9.60 but haven't encounter that kind of issues.
but sometimes the DHTML have to load for a moment to show.
@pi_1st: I have moved your other post here - that thread was about Opera 10.
The big RAM usage is normal - the more pages you open, the more memory Opera will have to use to store and display them. To reduce it a bit, try setting the memory cache size to 20MB instead of automatic. Disabling it isn't recommended; you can lose performance as the browser will need to read previously visited pages/elements from the hard drive, which is proportionally much slower.
Regarding your DHTML problem, try disabling Turbo Mode and following some ther basic performance-improving tips, which are documented in this same thread.
actually i disabled the memory cache alltogether and even the plugins. i like small and tight configuration.
but i think that is useless nowadays with all the machine generated 2.0 web pages. to many dynamic and interactive contents that i don't need, really.

I think it's better if you set the memory cache to at least 4MB instead of disabling it - you'll keep your HDD from spinning all the time when browsing.
Regarding plugins, I personally have them enabled globally, but have disabled them (and sometimes even JavaScript) for sites that overuse them and therefore make my whole PC slowdown when browsing them.
Disabling Java globally is also a good idea - you'll prevent LiveConnect-able Flash objects from unnecessarily loading the Java VM.

That's why Opera has a feature called "content blocking" :tongue:

hmm i don't think it's quite true.. windows is still smart enough to cache some data from the hdd and even the hdd itself have some buffering mechanism

my opera only render html and javascript and that is that not even pictures :D
so no java or flash or whatever
i use IE for that kind of fancy stuff, yeah really IE :)
hmm i don't think it's quite true.. windows is still smart enough to cache some data from the hdd and even the hdd itself have some buffering mechanism
But by default Windows' cache's maximum size is around ~24MB (may vary from PC to PC), and it's used by all opened applications. You can imagine that with a lot of programs running it can "fill up" quite quickly, and therefore Windows will have to discard old elements (which could end up being whatever pieces of Opera's cache have been stored) in order to make room for disk-intensive apps.

Make sure you're also using the IE7Pro addon! :thumbsup:
Make sure you're also using the IE7Pro addon! :thumbsup:
i have disabled my ie7pro addon long time ago, i don't know why but my ie startup time is way to long after i installed that on my xp system.
That's strange - here there isn't any significant delay (just 1-2 seconds) after installing that addon, even sandboxed. I have IE6.
hmm probably because mine is ie7, ie7 is almost like the biggest regret for i have ever installed, for xp that is. on vista it worked quite nicely
Never liked IE7 too much either - so I kept v6, and even so only use it for Windows Update.
for windows update i like to download it manually using opera because i could keep the binaries. if it's done automatically the updates just lost in thin air

Yes, that's true, they disappear. :tongue: But I personally don't have a problem with that. :biggrin:
Security
Fixed an issue where specially crafted JPEG images could be used to execute arbitrary code, as reported by Tavis Ormandy of the Google Security Team; see our advisory
Fixed an issue where plug-ins could be used to allow cross domain scripting, as reported by Adam Barth; details will be disclosed at a later date.
Fixed a moderately severe issue; details will be disclosed at a later date.
Added support for the following platform-specific features:
- DEP (Data Execution Prevention) in Microsoft WindowsXP® with Service Pack 2 and higher and Microsoft Windows Server 2003® with Service Pack 1
- ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization) in Microsoft Windows Vista®
Added Untrusted Rootstore Capability:
- Opera downloads only the detailed information about untrusted (blacklisted) certificates when they are encountered
- If download fails for certificate information in the list, Opera considers any certificate matching the ID as untrusted
Added version conditional fetching of certificate dependencies from an online repository
Fixed a problem downloading the CRL (Certificate Revocation List)
Fixed a problem that could cause SSL to deadlock in one state, hanging the connection
Fixed a problem that could cause the incorrect calculation of Certificate IDs
Implemented Extended Validation (EV) for cross-signed EV Root Certificates not shipped by default
Implemented preshipping of the Entrust 2048 CA (Certificate Authority)
Implemented Root Certificate fetching from an online repository when an intermediate matches a certificate in the repository
Improved support for weak encryption when importing .p12 private certificates
Prevented security information documents from being written to disk
Miscellaneous
Fixed a problem which created separate feed notifications; Opera now groups them together
Fixed a problem with inline find when no content was entered and the Enter key was pressed
Implemented opacity on text styled with hexidecimal color codes
Installing an external source viewer no longer requires an Opera restart
Installing Opera sets it as the default browser; this may be reset during the install process

In der jetzt veröffentlichten Vorab-Version 10 ist nun erstmals "Opera Turbo" integriert, das deutliche Geschwindigkeitszuwächse vor allem bei langsamer oder wechselhafter Internet-Verbindung verspricht. Zudem bewältigt Opera 10 den ACID-3-Test fehlerfrei. Eine Auflistung aller Neuerungen finden Sie im offiziellen Opera-Blog. Die aktuelle Final-Version des Browsers steht weiterhin zum Download bereit.
Der Hersteller weist ausdrücklich darauf hin, dass diese Opera-Ausgabe noch nicht für den Endkunden gedacht ist.

Ive been using Opera since v 4.21 :biggrin:
I still remember how it blew my mind: I had a P1 166mhz (with MMX!!:cool2:), 32mb and a 1.6gb with a Zoltrix 56k Winmodem! switching from IE6 to Opera was like switching from porn to a girlfriend hahahahha
Seems Opera 10 is now Beta:
Opera 10 beta (codenamed Peregrine) sports a surprising array of new features, a fresh look and feel, and enhanced speed and performance. Discover a better way to enjoy the Web by trying Opera 10 beta. It is completely free for Windows, Mac and Linux systems.
Download (http://www.opera.com/browser/download/?ver=10.00b1)
I have also used Opera for quite a while. I best like v7.51, where there is quick toggling of images. Since last year, am on Firefox. Will try the new version and see if that helps
Since it's been a while that I wrote about Opera, I decided to inform you about the latest developments. :wink:
After a longer test period of the new Version 10, I can say, that, even it's still in "Beta-stage", I never experienced any errors or bugs. :top:

PS: Opera rules! :biggrin:
Thanks for the post, it's been a while this thread didn't have any activity! :biggrin:
Opera 10 also gets 100% in the Acid3 test. :wink: I have been using it a lot recently because of Turbo, which makes my connection, hm, usable when it's working like crap. (You take these risks when your ISP is oversold -.-)
I'm not sure whether I'll like the new additions like the Fridge (lol) or Web Server, though.
And this:
Fixed Bug DSK-254455 (Cookies doesn't work with Turbo turned on)
I hope it prevents the annoying bug of being logged out of SB-I every now and then.
I'm not sure whether I'll like the new additions like the Fridge (lol) or Web Server, though.
Yeah I think the same way. :wink: It's getting way to overloaded I think... They have to be aware not to become the second Nero Burning Suite... :biggrin:
Fixed Bug DSK-254455 (Cookies doesn't work with Turbo turned on)
Didn't help here. As I tried it out before I formatted my laptop. I still got logged out after being inactive for about 15minutes here..
You're right, lol, who needs a virtual fridge where you can post notes, there's Notepad for that. Sharing them with others is OK, but again, there's e-mail or PasteBin.

Did you tick "remember me"?
And whether I'm active or not on the board doesn't affect Turbo's shakiness most of time :tongue:

Right, especially not, when nearly everybody has one type of instant messenger like ICQ that would does a better job in messaging. :wink:
Did you tick "remember me"?
Yes, I tick it every time I log in... But that's happening since I signed up here, I think. Got used to logging in, so who cares. :tongue:

LOL right. :cool: But I rather trust my brain, than some app. I hope it's harder to crack than Opera's "Wand" :biggrin:

Exactly - that's what i meant. I rather rely on my brain. :biggrin:
Here we go again for another step towards the final version of probably the best browser of all. :biggrin:
Highlights in this version are that the developers customized the look slightly (they've changed the reminding spots colour on new tabs that havent been opened yet) and added a messenger function to their new feature called Opera Unite for being able to chat with your "My-Opera-contacts".
Of course, the team did a lot of bug-fixing again, as it can be seen in the attached Changelog.
Despite of the fact that the development goes on, there are some known problems with this build:
No auto-update this time around.
Java has issues on the Mac.
A few Unix builds may be missing, though most of them will be continuously uploaded.
And for those who want to take a look at the full Changelog:

It's great to see Turbo integrated into the beta, so that the "Turbo snapshot" is no more. That function is great for when your connection is slow, as well as for dial-up and cellular users. Would need to check if it still has the logout problems.
I'm not sure about Unite, though. What I need is a Web browser, not a mixture of Facebook and MSN. I'm fine as long as it can be disabled, though. :biggrin:

Opera Unite and beta 3?
Don't worry, we haven't forgotten about Opera Unite!
It might not be part of beta 3, but we have still been working hard on improving it. So for those of you who want to test that, please download one of the builds below instead of the official beta 3. These builds are basically the same as beta 3, only with Unite included.

Thanks for the info! I'm glad Unite isn't included in some of the builds :biggrin:
starforce, avoid RS links.
Yeah, I am glad too. :wink: Keeps the
Would be cool for the final version, if they let the user decide whether they want to have it installed too or not. Even though that's unlikely to happen because it's the new feature. :wink:

Yes, now you say it, I think you're right... :redface:
Although forcing people to use it just because it's new would be a bit too much!
Turbo is the new feature I'm going to use. Other people will need it too, so I suppose their bandwidth usage won't do but grow.
I didn't meant that the Opera team is trying to force the people to use Unite. But it wouldn't be worth the coding efforts if they'd leave the choice of installation to the users. This might risk that nobody istalls/uses it. :biggrin:

And with people using Unite it might grow even faster. :wink2:
I didn't meant that the Opera team is trying to force the people to use Unite.
Not letting you remove it (if that's what they'll do) is a bit like forcing to me :biggrin: Like with Microsoft and IE :tongue:
You are comparing Opera with an Operating System...:biggrin:
(But in some ways you might be right, regarding the various programs both are containing :wink2:)
Not letting you remove it (if that's what they'll do) is a bit like forcing to me :biggrin:
"It's would be just there, you wouldnt have to use it." I guess, that's what Opera would say. :biggrin:
"It's would be just there, you wouldnt have to use it."
But unless Unite is stored on a separate module, I guess loading Opera would need some extra CPU and RAM, even if you don't use the former, I think. :tongue:
Yup, that would be the result I think, too. Gets more bloated until it's called Opera Internet Suite. :biggrin: (which they could do from version 10 on)
I am thinking to use maybe an earlier version of it, since I really see no use for Unite. Neither one of my friends is using that service nor has an MyOpera acc. So I'll stay with Beta3 for a while, I guess. :rolleyes:
It's a suite already - IRC, e-mail, etc. :eek:
I think you may be right about older builds. That has already happened with Azureus/Vuze, uTorrent, Winamp, ...
It's a suite already.
Indeed. I really see no surplus for me by installing another version with Unite bulit-in...
Indeed. I really see no surplus for me by installing another version with Unite bulit-in...
At least the latest Unite build works better than the Turbo alpha. It takes A LOT less time to start up, connect to Turbo and shut down. Log out problems are also less frequent, but they are still there. Not a big fan of the bigger menus or that slider thing below tabs, either (perhaps I missed it, but there should be a setting to "lock" that).

opera really..works grt..with turbo 10 i m mad as hell coz it works & buffer videos then any other browser...to my pc
I hope you're not using Turbo to watch videos; that's not what it was meant for :wink:
that's not what it was meant for
Safari is meant for p0rn ! yeah :biggrin: :
Porn Mode in Safari (http://www.usingmac.com/2008/10/13/porn-mode-in-safari)
(its a mod btw :tongue:)
i don't where i read it, but a study showed that safari is mostly used for accessing p0rn websites :biggrin:

Perhaps that pic of a crazy guy saying "hey... you can view porn on this thing". :biggrin:
What I like about Safari is its fast JavaScript VM. It makes sites like Hotmail and Facebook work a lot faster. I miss an option to delete all traces on v3 though - you have to clean the cache, history and cookies separately. I didn't update to v4 because I don't like the new UI.
Opera 10's first release candidate has arrived, with the final version likely to arrive on 1 September.
Unfortunately I haven't found any Changelogs showing the changes to the Beta3 but as it can be read on winfuture.de (Opera 10: Release Candidate und Termin für die Final - WinFuture.de (http://winfuture.de/news,49287.html)) There's been only some minor bugfixing and improvements to the appearance. The bugfixing was mainly focused on improving the email-client though. (As it is mostly used by the Opera users.)

A couple of possible fixes for pages that never stop loading (NSL)
Sounds great. I have this problem all the time when using Turbo, and sometimes even without using it.
This is the moment we've all been waiting for....!
Today, on september 1st, the Opera team released the final version of its product Opera 10.0!
It's been a long development phase but now, finally, it's there to download.
To grab a copy, just go to their homepage: http://www.opera.com/

I can't download Opera, not even behind a proxy :frown: I always get:
We are sorry, the page you are looking for can’t be found.
Tried a lot of different mirrors, still the same.
Hey buddy, if you're still having problems getting Opera, you may want to try this site: http://dl.cdn.chip.de/downloads/47511/Opera_1000_int_Setup.exe?1251814215-1251821715-30eadc-B-a8f4e38490d38b8482101ae40af0b0d5.exe
It worked for me. :top:
Thanks, I thought I had found a working mirror, but the transfer froze. Yours seems to work, although it's a bit slow. Never mind, I'll wait. :tongue:
After the final release, there is another beta already.
I think this software is always a beta.
I would like to use Opera if I can use Firefox's add-on with this.
I think you're referring to the recently released v10.10, right?
That's because of its developers that they are trying to constantly improve their product. I don't see a problem there as you're not forced to always use the latest builds.
I think this software is always a beta.
But before having a go at Opera you should first check out team Firefox, since it seems that they're stuck in their somewhere in their pre-phase...
:wink2:
--> Index of /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk (http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/)
Getting to your question, if there's an addon for Opera that imports all the Firefox addons:
I googled for such an addon but didn't find anything.
greetz vDD
I would like to use Opera if I can use Firefox's add-on with this.
Opera offers "widgets" with similar functionality, and there are a few equivalents of Firefox's most popular addons (NoScript -> BlockIt, for example), but you won't have access to the same amount of extensions you can with FF, that's for sure.
I'm with vDD about not being forced to use the latest builds.
On topic:
I have been using Opera 10 for a few days already, and something I didn't like were the "bloated" menus. Have a look at this comparison:
Opera 9.64
http://www.sb-innovation.de/attachment.php?attachmentid=4858
Opera 10
http://www.sb-innovation.de/attachment.php?attachmentid=4859
Note the difference. The menus use much more space. I know there's a "Slim" skin, but I use the native UI to save RAM, and couldn't find anything similar for it.
Also, it's not possible to toggle Turbo on and off for different browser windows, as you could in the Turbo alpha. Either you toggle it on for ALL tabs, or you keep it disabled. I want to be able to surf SB-I through Turbo while my trackers use the "real" connection, for example. A site-specific preference to enable Turbo for certain pages only (like it's already possible with JavaScript, addons, cookies, etc. via F12 -> Edit Site Preferences) would also be great. Also, the log-out problems and ocassional disconnections are still there, but I suppose the latter is caused by the extra load, now v10 went final.
Note the difference. The menus use much more space. I know there's a "Slim" skin, but I use the native UI to save RAM, and couldn't find anything similar for it.
Did you note some differences in the RAM-usage too?
I was wondering because as I used the final version the first time I had 4 tabs opened and it used up to 120Mb! A bit too much for just browsing, I think. :wink:
And now I have just this window open and it still uses 55Mb...
The hight of the menus doesn't bother me though, since an 17" external monitor is connected to my laptop. There, those few millimeters don't play such a big role for me. :smile:

Right now I have seven SB-I tabs open and it's using 87MB. Which becomes 5.6MB when minimized :biggrin: At least it doesn't use 80MB per tab as the Beta of a certain browser once did...
With my 1.5GB of RAM my worries about this should be the same as yours with the bloated menus. :cool: But you know there's something wrong with the code when it uses 300MB, for example, as Firefox is supposed to reach sometimes. (Not that this happened to me, it's just an hypothetical case)
Right now I have seven SB-I tabs open and it's using 87MB. Which becomes 5.6MB when minimized:biggrin:
I just opened 7 tabs too to compare it with your results and now it's using up 63Mb, which would make 9mb/tab. Computer magic? :biggrin:
At least it doesn't use 80MB per tab as the Beta of a certain browser once did...
I think we had some chats about that browser some time ago.:top:
But you know there's something wrong with the code when it uses 300MB
How do you mean that?
How do you mean that?
I meant that you know there's something wrong with the browser when it uses extremely high amounts of RAM... like that one :tongue:
While not being the desktop version, a Beta of Opera Mini 5 for mobiles is out:
Opera Mini 5 beta is now available
This is the day you've all been waiting for! Opera Mini 5 beta is hereby ready for download.
As you know, we've been working on this version for quite a while. When you see the end result, we're sure you'll think the waiting was worthwhile. To download, go to http://m.opera.com/next, but please note that phone support for the new version may vary.
Some key features:
New, sleek design
Tabbed browsing
Password manager
Inline text editing
Copy-and-paste function
We have made a special, native version for BlackBerry which includes opening links and copy-and-paste functions
Opera Mini - Opera Mini 5 beta is now available (http://my.opera.com/operamini/blog/2009/09/16/opera-mini-5-beta-is-now-available)
Get it here (http://www.opera.com/mini/next/). For those of you that don't know, Opera Mini is a Java browser you can download to your mobile. Traffic is processed and compressed in the Opera servers before being delivered to your phone, which greatly reduces costs. You can also run it in your PC via MicroEmulator. I have been using it since v1.0 in 2006 and am very satisfied with it. :top: (Doubt my RAZR V3 will be able to handle v5, though.)
The new version of Opera uses much more memory.
The download function is much better than Firefox.
So, I use Opera for download or torrent.

web sites with scripted ajax doesn't work well with opera actually.
SB-I, as well as R-S-E (when you enable it) are two sites that use AJAX, and they work just fine for me on Opera.
is somebody using the email client? is there a way to access the email panel only via password and/or the emails can be encrypted without using an external encrypter like truecrypt?

@anon: Hi! im back :biggrin: use the opera:config to disable stuff you do not use such as BT, wand, etc, that will save you some ram. Besides, there are a lot of options there to tweak Opera at its best! Check this (way outdated but still useful) Opera's Settings File Explained (http://www.opera.com/support/usingopera/operaini/)
I had a very interesting article on the subject but I can not find it!
mail me if you need more help (I am not checking the site every day)
Hey man, great to see you around :wavey:
use the opera:config to disable stuff you do not use such as BT, wand, etc, that will save you some ram.
I used that to disable BitTorrent - too bad the latest version still asks me whether to use Opera or my default client (uTorrent) to open .torrent files when downloading them. Nothing happens when I choose the first option, though.

That is a design flaw, including a disabled tool as an option. Just go to Tools > Advanced > Downloads, search the .torrent extension (uncheck that checkbox next to the search field) and select the default action(open with utorrent). Thats it! No more questions :wink2:

right-click > save linked content as ?
Nice workaround, but I didn't have to do that in older versions. I'm too used to click, ENTER, ENTER :tongue:
i just upgraded to 10.10 (from 10.01) and i cannot get the captcha right at torrentleech?? also not in pochta.ru. when i enter the right words it always fails...:stupid:
but when i go here to the recaptcha demo page (http://recaptcha.net/learnmore.html) its always accepted.
anyone else for torrentleech not working with 10.10?
edit:/ now they changed the ANNOYING login procedure to an even MORE ANNOYING one! argh,.. at least this way my login problem is gone.
Didn't have any problems with Opera 10.10 and TL's captcha if that still helps.
A shame SCC adopted that system as well...
Hey guys, here's my opinion about the Opera 10.50pre-alpha:
Since my last post in this section was some time ago, I decided to give you guys an update about the recently released version of the norwegian browser. :wink:
First of all, there's the appearance. There's a massive change:
http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/149/windows7tabscollapsed.jpg
What can be seen is, that all the menus have moved and are now accessible through the upper menu in the left corner. (Kind of the start menu in the OS's)
See for yourself:
http://img682.imageshack.us/img682/4725/30157174.png
Other things that I can say about the pre-alpha version is, that is uses much more ram on my system. ~ 127mb with 3 tabs openend atm. :eek: But since this is an early version I think they will tweak this so that in the end it will use up as much memory as the other browsers.
On the other hand I can say that its much faster with the new engines build in and once loaded into the ram, I much more like browsing. (+ it's fits more into the windows 7 style and makes use of the windows super bar:
http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/8791/capturefx.png)
I haven't seen a single error since I'm using it. (Even though I only browse my normal pages + tracker sites)
So, if you want to give it a try, I think it's worth it. :wink:
And since I'm not that into multitasking I can afford those 130mb too. ^^

Nice review.Just one question.Is there any way t activate a bookmark bar??
Enable the personal bar and drag the bookmarks you want to it.
You also may use panels ;) click the most left button on address bar.
Adsweep isn't working in this pre-alpha.Anyway to block adds?

I've been searching for weeks on how to get back to the old method!!
the whole enter enter thing was perfect!
I was struggling with that so bad.. finally I gave up to always open with torrent client :\
I'd love to know how to make that work like the old way again

The final release of Opera 10.50 comes closer and closer...
Today, Opera released the first Beta build of its upcoming version 10.50 - at first, only for Windows. Linux and Mac versions will follow up later. The most important changes aren't visible to users. One of the major ones made is the implementation of the JavaScript engine "Carakan", which Opera hopes will revive its former slogan "the fastest browser on Earth": after comparing the SunSpider benchmark results against the stable 10.10, the new Beta could convince testers, since its results were 12 times better. And when it comes to Safari and Chrome, Opera still has an edge, with 1.5x faster results. Another new feature in the release is the vector graphics library Vega, which will ensure smoother and faster picture transitions.

Das hört sich ja alles schon sehr gut an, wenn die Geschwindigkeit passt fehlt es Opera nur noch an den addons um nach den Firefox zu greifen...

Hadn't noticed this since I block most sections in the German area, moved.
"its results were 12 times better. And when it comes to Safari and Chrome, Opera still has an edge, with 1.5x faster results."
woah sounds amazing! I love these frequent updates from Opera.. always keeping up with the rest of the browsers, and much much better.
let's hope for a final release soon.
Yeah, hopefully more people will use it then too, since up until today, Opera just owns a niche in the browser market..
I dunno what to say..opera is nice and fast but it doesn't have any addons or extensions as firefox or chrome...only support for user scripts which is a common thing between browsers these days.
Yes exactly. I would wish a basic Opera version without all that bloatware thats already integrated, and then havin the opportunity to install the needed addons. Sadly its just a wish... ^^
I wonder why nobody's trying to buy that browser. I wouldn't be too hard I guess..
OT: But Midori looks promising on that field if they keep minimalistic as they have it now. ;)
Atm, the only thing that is missing is the proxy support, I think.
Midori lacks the speed...Opera and chrome are way more faster.
Atm I'm using IE8 so from this point everything must be faster. :D
But too bad, that Midori lacks in performance. :frown: Guess, I'm waiting until 10.50 final is released.
I dunno what to say..opera is nice and fast but it doesn't have any addons or extensions as firefox or chrome...
It does have "widgets".
It does have "widgets".
do you really use them widgets?
didn't find ONE good widget to use on a regular basis.
and yeah I guess the extentions are something very unique to firefox and won't be seen on other browsers so that's like a big ever-lasting advantage for firefox.
do you really use them widgets?
I don't use any myself, was just pointing out they exist :tongue:

Nice update from the Opera dudes.Opera is now the fastest web browser on the net.
It must be very new because the update checker says I'm using the latest version. :tongue:
I'm downloading it as we speak.
It must be very new because the update checker says I'm using the latest version.
It's not even on their official development ppa which always had newest releases even before windows version was released....I had to compile the source...in fact learn how to compile first:mad2:
I'm using 10.50 right now... had to replace the new classic skin file with the new one to make it look like I wanted. Also, the menu bar text is all garbled when font smoothing is enabled - I had to work around this by using the userbar font instead :redface:
The tab and address bars are also slimmer now... I guess I'll just have to get used to the new UI, like it happened with 9.2x->9.5 and 9.5->10.
Hey anon.
I've always wanted to ask you this but I forgot when getting home.
How's Opera's adblocking??
Does it block adds(like adblock for firefox) or just hide them after loading(like very ad blocking addon for chrome I found)?
The content blocker? It directly doesn't download blocked stuff.
I'm talking about userscripts like the Fanboy dude's list.
User scripts and stylesheet do hide the ads.
Edit: just noticed Fanboy offers a CSS stylesheet as well. If you use it and his content blocker list, ads shouldn't be loaded at all, and blankspace will be removed. This would be the most efficient thing.
Perhaps I'm just very used to the old UI, but I'll stay with 10.10 until they fix the stuff I posted before. :dry:
what about the speed bonus?
I won't be able to take advantage of it until then. :frown:
very weird.. I check for updates through Opera and it doesn't show..
I think I'll wait with anon since the problems he mentioned also affect me.
so glad to see it once again as the fastest browser (the title chrome took away from it while being a shitty browser!) :wink:

Lets see how long it stays that way. ^^ Google always had an efficient way to improve its applications...
But at least for now its like: Opera owns 'em all! Muhahaha :biggrin:
what applications? isn't Chrome its first? :wink:
I thing it's unfair that while Opera is out there for years people just grabbed Chrome because it's google made and didn't even see Opera in its dark corner.
isn't Chrome its first?No it was google earth.
At least chrome has useful extensions..not like opera's widgets..

Sometimes you can achieve the same results as with extensions via settings or built-in features, but in general I agree.

I found something that helps with keeping the adfilter lists updated.
It is called Opera URLFilter Downloader (http://my.opera.com/urlfilterdownloader/blog/).
It's based on Java and you have two preset filter locations or in case you want to specify another there is also an option for that.
Opera 10.53 RC1 is out too...

https://www.fastmail.fm/
looks to me like I'm missing something here..
what's fastmail? yes I can read it's a mail service, but is it special or what?
and what does it have to do with Opera?
It's another e-mail service... and Opera bought it. Yes, nothing special if you're not a FM user maybe :happy:
Just in case anyone cares, I just found out you can manipulate the content of the Accept and Accept-Charset HTTP headers Opera will send via opera:config. The settings are called "HTTP Accept" and "HTTP Accept Charset", accordingly.
what will be the obvious benefits?
Taking a few dozen bytes away from each one of your HTTP requests. For an optimization freak such as me it's something. :lol:

i don't :P
security wise it's better to have them as separate apps
On a sidenote, I once used Opera's mail client a lot too, and it was a good one at that. Then my mail provider stopped working, I switched to FastMail (which doesn't support POP3 for free users), and never looked back.
Still have the very first message I've received using it.

sure, it works just fine. it's just better not to have the browser accessing all the mail stuff and vice versa.
better or not. I didn't use anything except webmail for years.

hehe, that's another way but you gotta like it. for example i could absolutely not live without a 'real' mail app
never used Opera's built in mail client.. a bit inconvenient for me.
using GMail's webmail for years now.
used "the bat" for a short period of time but why does it matter when you use webmails mail feature anyway? just from another program that supports POP3 etc.
I am STILL waiting for the guess next page feature to be brought back!
Opera 10.60 released!
change log is here:
Opera: Opera 10.60 for Windows changelog (http://www.opera.com/docs/changelogs/windows/1060/)
FastForward with mouse button 5 still not fixed.
does it bother any of you guys? it was really great for torrent browsing..
By default the Opera 10.60 shows its top menu button logo with the ‘Menu’ text . The Opera menu button is in the same line of its tab panel and you will feel it is wasting some space with the ‘Menu’ text when it is loaded with dozens of tabs. You can remove the Opera ‘Menu’ Text from its Menu Button by :
Right Click On It –> Customize –> Appearance –> Style and select "Images Only"
source: http://softzilla.blogspot.com/2010/07/remove-opera-menu-text-from-menu-button.html
iSpy looks like absolute crap unless you set your U-A to "Mask as Firefox", and then it doesn't look like with Opera 10.10. Also, what's up with wasting so much space in the menu bars?
Sorry, but no.
maybe they fixed the cookie thing?
Wouldn't make up for the rest.
I was fiddling with the Developer menu addon since for some reason it hid the "Widgets" menu, and realized it's no longer available. If any of you need it, here you go, attached. Extract the archive to %appdata%\Opera\Opera\menu, and then choose the "Developer Menu" layout in the browser.
@Instab
10.60 doesn't fix the per-site cookie disablement issues.
Opera is good but, i think Mozilla is more stable with some plugins (But it uses so much ram), idk maybe im wrong.
Opera is good but, i think Mozilla is more stable with some plugins
As far as my experience goes, both are quite stable. Opera very rarely (read: almost never) crashes for me, and it's open and in use as long as I'm in front of my computer.
As far as my experience gös, both are quite stable. Opera very rarely (read: almost never) crashes for me, and it's open and in use as long as I'm in front of my computer.
same here, i think stabilty wise they're both good the main thing is just the lack of plugins as said before
Opera is good but, i think Mozilla is more stable with some plugins (But it uses so much ram), idk maybe im wrong.
The latest Opera version uses here 120Mb of RAM once it opens (sarting with one tab). After that it would become bigger by 20Mb per tab opened. So I would say that both are using much RAM, but once Opera is loaded (you could leave it open, for the time while the PC is tuned on) it's blazingly fast. ;)
But if you're looking for yet another browser, I can recommend you Midori. :top: It's very lightweight and has everything I would need, but unfortunately it comes with no proxy support.
But you still might want to check it out: Midori - Twotoasts.de (http://www.twotoasts.de/index.php?/pages/midori_summary.html)
(in terms of doing some OT advertising :shifty:)
Midori is under heavy developement. Used to crash quite much for me. Maybe it got better.
RAM management wise Opera is in good advantage of Firefox.
even if ff would eat 3 times the ram you have no choice until opera gets much more plugins :dry:
I didn't realize RAM was still a problem in modern computers.
no choice until opera gets much more plugins :dry:
I probably have already asked you this in the past, but anything you're looking for in particular? :tongue:

noscript (i know about the opera script but it's not exactly the same)
and don't get me wrong, i'm not out for some opera bashing. actually i like it a lot and that's why i regret that there're not more plugins.
tokiodrift1 may have much more to add. he got something like 35 active plugins :eek:
If you need Firebug just to do live HTML edition, that's built-in. And redirects can be easily disabled via settings. As for the rest, I know no replacements :frown:

it is.I know one Opera lover from my town who starts opera with like 50 open tabs every time.He bought more RAM just so he can do that.

opera is my fav browser, quick, who else put their status bar at the bottom of opera's window and shift-drag'n'dropped the browse.php pages of 20+ trackers on it?
opera is unique, its such a shame that not many people use it and instead use firefox just cause they saw someone in a forum once post 'firefox is da best browser' and instantly it became true for them

19.09.10, 04:10
I still stick with Firefox for two reasons. 1: I'm used to it. It's what I started out on, and so far has worked for me. 2: Addons. Most of the addons I have do little things that make life easier for me, and have no equivalent for any other browsers.

19.09.10, 04:37
Yeah, that's honestly the only reason. I've used the other browsers, and can say that they *do* load pages faster and seem to run better (though that's comparing a fresh opera/chrome install to my fully loaded firefox install), but I can sacrifice a split second delay on loading pages for all the possible functions to be gained by the addons.
Hi guys, I'm kind of switching from firefox to opera (but still use firefox for wikipedia because of ton addons I use for readibility). Main reason is obviously better RAM management. FF was dying after 10-15 youtube channel/user/video tabs (after few hours of "work"), Opera manages it better, doesn't lag whole browser.
Only tiny problem I have now is autocompleting user/password fields. Doesn't work as expected. Opera asks me to save info after login, I confirm it but another time I visit same login page I need to write my user/pwd again. Doesn't drop down username and autocomplete pwd fields as in firefox. Any ideas, my dear Opera experts? :D
Sorry if its been answered before, I'm too lazy to go through all pages. -_-
Normally, once you enter the username and password the first time, the respective fields in that page should have a golden frame. Clicking the wand icon to the left of the address bar should automatically fill both with the info you saved before and click on the login button.
doh, I found my solution.
ctrl+enter

That's the faster way to do it. :happy:

Oh you mean this button before reload. Yes indeed. lol how I didn't notice it before. -_- It looks more like a key then a wand tho.
Thanks.
edit: lol this sneaky button. On some tabs its even not wand/key but some double arrows ">>" like fast forward.
10.70.9053 Is quite fast.
If you like beta builds:

If you wold like it to be slightly faster remove upx exe packing from opera.exe loader and opera.dll

You can change that via right-click -> Customize. I removed the wand altogether, as I don't use that function.

opera has an onboard ad + flash blocker I don't see the point of getting a new extension for it besides all content blocking should be done through the hosts file and not methods like this in the first place for multiple reasons like to make sure that your computer NEVER even connects to the site (whereas with this kind of 'blocking' most of the time the browser DOES load the content but the extension doesn't show them up) and the fact that its nature is just so quick and efficient, do it once, you're set, no extra buttons anywhere, no nothing.
for youtube there is a script I'm using called youtube enhancer which you can get from here:
YouTube Enhancer for Greasemonkey (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/33042)
best thing ever, I'm not going to say anything about it just try it for yourself and see
if you don't know how to run scripts in opera it is easy, just put them all in a folder and go to preferences then content then javascript options and choose the folder you put the scripts in, not all greasemonkey scripts work with opera though

it's just a matter of taste, still, any blocking should be done with the hosts file anyways, I just mentioned how all those extensions are unneeded
If it comes to opera 11 none of extensions is useful at the moment. iOS look is bullock. Most of existing extensions have side effects.

naturally, it is still in alpha stage isn't it?
personally I don't want extensions, opera is just fine and has all the functions it needs, we're going to see much more spammy crap than actually useful extensions
all i need is to get rid off unwanted ads. u cannot filter those with hosts file.
i think we should give them a bit more time to get things settled. also a few weeks after the final version 11 release there might be more well known plugins

Firefox has many "spammy crap" addons, also. You always have the option of not using them, anyway. :unsure:
As for me, I don't block stuff via the hosts file - Fanboy's anti-tracking list plus a few custom additions does the trick for me. And you can check it yourself, stuff on the Opera blocked content list won't even load.

I don't really care about the ads, ban the most popular servers and most of them are gone, mostly, I hate the cookies said ad servers install on your computer, thus, the hosts file is the easiest option

Thank you, I'll update later today. A shame it's still missing GPU acceleration, I'd really like that. :wfrown:
maybe 11.x has hw support...
opera 11, AMAZING.
finally an update you can FEEL! love the recent changes.
and finally, extensions! too bad some things aren't fixed yet (guess next page with mouse 5)
Man, disregard everything I may have said about extensions in Opera. I just installed a few and they're awesome! These are my picks:
Download Helper
FastestTube - I find built-in downloading functionality better
NotScripts - much better than the BlockIt user script
Popup Statusbar - a good screen space saver for my netbook
Redirect Bypasser - to avoid the SB-I dereferer (given I have disabled HTTP referers entirely) and do things faster
Turn Off The Lights
i love the image preview popup and close duplicates extension , along with fastesttube . it was about time opera introduced the extension feature .
I couldn't decide whether to install Download Helper or not. I don't usually use the hosters it supports and it's known that too many extensions end up slowing down your browser so I didn't, for now.
I do have:
Focus on Textbox
Turn Off The Lights
FastestTube
edit: anon what's the use of NotScript? ad blocking? why not using Opera's built-in one?
There's NoAds(currently in use) extension too, similiar with NotScript. I'm using this one also: Opera URLFilter Downloader - (http://my.opera.com/urlfilterdownloader/blog/) NoAds handles filtering too but not really sure that it loads all lines from selected subscription.
edit: anon what's the use of NotScript? ad blocking? why not using Opera's built-in one?
Security. It offers a much more versatile way of whitelisting JavaScript for sites.
I'm using this one also: Opera URLFilter Downloader - (http://my.opera.com/urlfilterdownloader/blog/)
Okay, I've given up to that. It is uncontrollable, I mean it just blocks something that I don't want to. NoAds is just fine by me, it can block external scripts and shit...

Which "source" have you been using? With Fanboy's list I've only ever had just a couple of false positives.
Fanboy's list. Don't know where that URLFilter downloads it. But anyway, NoAds works better.

Nice info anon. Can't wait for the stable release to come.
@dreamer
you probably don't need downloadhelper. I use jdownloader, which i consider the best (so far) and wouldn't expect any extension to beat it. And yes, having multiple extensions does slow down the browser. Before the extensions, I had 108 or something like that of user.js files. I hope you can imagine how slow it was running. Startup/browsing/opening or closing tabs and it consumed with no tabs running approx 160 ram. It usually got up to 500 or more MB after a couple of hours.
As for the extensions, i only use the following
looptube
noscripts
snap links
translator
open-in-background-with-long-press
u can dl latest urlfilter from here :
URL Filter (http://www.fanboy.co.nz/adblock/opera/complete/urlfilter.ini)

No, for obvious reasons they can't read your address or mail...
