The Opera Thread

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.

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.

same here, i think stabilty wise they're both good the main thing is just the lack of plugins as said before

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.

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
(in terms of doing some OT advertising

)

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.

**Instab** · 21.07.10, 19:51

even if ff would eat 3 times the ram you have no choice until opera gets much more plugins

**Sazzy** · 21.07.10, 19:52

I didn't realize RAM was still a problem in modern computers.

I probably have already asked you this in the past, but anything you're looking for in particular?

sure, let's see:

downthemall
firebug
site launcher
check4change
useragent switcher
redirect remover
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

**anon** · 21.07.10, 20:10

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
