What is Reddit's opinion of
My Opera?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments
➔ My Opera website
By popularity on Reddit, this Service is:
100 reviews of this app found across Reddit:
I recommend Imagus. It's for Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari and Maxathon.
Hover Free is also viable, but it's been abandoned and it's only for Chrome.
People seem to be misunderstanding this page.
It's not a set of "HTML5" demos. It's a set of demos for their new mobile browser, for smartphones. Of course they are trying to leverage the "hey it's web standards" card, but it's pretty experimental.
It was announced here http://my.opera.com/ODIN/blog/2012/02/25/opera-mobile-12-and-introducing-opera-mini-next
...or firefox's private browsing.(that you can allways use it.)
...or ie's in-private browsing.
...or opera's private tab.(better, because you can browse privately without opening a new window.)
They published several of those on the opera news blog.
This one is extremly cute: http://files.myopera.com/EspenAO/files/OPRAH_REPLY_SUPPORT_AGAIN.jpg
Please, please scrap the HDR. Lots of these have potential but have been totally shat on with HDR. Shoot in raw and use graduated filters instead, you will get much more pleasing results and you won't get a ton of idiots like me complaining about HDR. This is a good example of how you can achieve a nice dynamic range without HDR.
By the way, there are now OpenGL/WebGL enabled builds of Opera available. I submitted this 2 days ago, but Reddit ate it.
I hope the spam filter lets this one through. :I
Edit:
Does anyone know how to get the little down arrow on the address bar back?
I saw an article mention the otherday about an option to put it back, but cant find it.
Edit:NVM found the answer Here
opera:config#UserPrefs|ShowDropdownButtonInAddressfield
For anyone else who's interested.
Best proof I could find:
- All of the sites are listed in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\19.0.1326.59\resources\default_partner_content.json". I think the filename speaks for itself
- When clicking on a link on speed dial you get redirected through redir.opera.com (for tracking)
- In no way good proof but related forum thread
The picture is called superlame why???
Opera Mini uses compression, technically it's only a client, the processing is done on Opera's servers.
Opera Mobile is a full browser, and compressing (Opera Turbo) is optional.
I was fishing last summer on a small river and as I walked the bank I disturbed a copper head snake that was sunning on the mud. To avoid me it swam across the river and the current pushed it further down stream. Before it got to the other side a Great Blue Heron swooped down and met it at the riverbank. It grabbed it about 1/3 of its body length from its tail and swung it around in an arc and bashed this three and a half foot long poisonous snake on the ground 4 or 5 times. It either killed it in the attack or knocked it out. It gulped it down pretty easily except for the last 6 inches of tail that was hooked around the crook of its mouth. A couple more big gulps and it was all gone. It stretched its neck up and down a few times, seemed like it was getting its meal to settle, and off it went.
When we lived in Nigeria we would see Marabou Storks all the time. Here is one eating a rat they are huge and quite interested in people. we would go for a walk for miles and one or two would follow the entire time. They are even crazier eaters because they scavenge also. I remember watching one trying to eat a big bone it scavenged from a dead animal and it tried 4 or 5 different angles before it got it down.

Hey, Opera employee here (working on 'Open the Web' team, which deals with site compat issues)
The best thing to do would be to ask the site to support Opera, and to file a bug report here https://bugs.opera.com/wizard . We'll take a look at it, and contact them too (getting the site to support Opera is the best solution. Identifying or masking or browser.js stuff is just a workaround)
When 'identfying', you identify as FF or IE, but still leave Opera somewhere in the UA string, so that the site's server logs still log Opera there. This is generally recommended if you have to spoof your UA. If that does not work, then try going for 'Mask as' FF or IE. f you mask as firefox or IE, then the UA completely removes any mention of Opera....so that will hurt Opera in the site usage stats. So try that only as a last resort.
If you want, you could also contact me (PM me if you want my email) or any of the Opera Developer Relations team in case your own site isn't working properly and you need a workaround...or in case of any other questions related to standards support.
Opera Mini had 50 million users in January 2010. At that rate of growth, they're predicting 100 million users in May 2011.
http://my.opera.com/haavard/blog/2010/02/12/opera-mini-growth
I didn't do in-depth searching to see what current stats are, but it's a bit naive to say nobody uses Opera.
Just read the article. Seems like that's a pretty fringe interpretation based on a single quote from miyazaki given with no context and only a vague source.
I'm not saying there's no link between spirited away and prostitution, but if there is it's a pretty minor theme (No pun intended) and certainly not very accessible to anyone not already familiar with japan's brothel culture. Not enough to convince me to outright call the bath house a brothel anyway.
Still an interesting read though.
Edit: Found a little more evidence to support the brothel interpretation. It still comes from too few sources for me to totally believe that it was meant to be interpreted as a major theme of the film. It's quite a complex and strange film for a fairytale though, so I'm going to keep an open mind the next time I watch it.
1) Disable plugins by default (either F12 -> uncheck "Enable plugins" or go to opera:plugins and disable them completely). You can also check latest snapshot of Opera 12 - plugin handling was largely rewritten in Opera 12 and is much more stable now. You can also enable/disable plugins on per-site basis (RMB -> Edit Site Preferences).
2) Do you have extensions enabled? If yes - try disabling them (Ctrl+Shift+E and disable one by one).
3) Try starting with clean profile: opera:about, look for path listed as "Opera directory". Close browser, make backup of this directory, remove it and restart.
The inability to fix things by yourself isn't really a problem.
Opera's development team's absolutely outstanding with responding to bug reports, and tend to release new builds to public testing very frequently indeed.
Have a gander. In terms of responsiveness and flexibility, they massively outclass Firefox's nightmarish community.
This was actually fixed a couple of Opera Next builds ago (12.00-1039), along with a number of other minor skin fixes (screenshot).
You'll have to wait for version 12 to be released or if you're lucky it might get patched in if they do a 11.51.
No, you haven't missed any hidden setting. Opera just doesn't have an option to turn the image resizing off. Which is stupid.
Wishlist where people are asking for such option: http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=968982 add your own comment there and check what others have said. There are some extensions that apparently fix this issue.
Haven't tried them myself, I just complained there and keep hitting enter key when I want to see pictures properly.
This you can do with the old version as well. Just click the element and find the css background image URL.
Or you could go for this officially unreleased extension: Imagus. It lets you Ctrl + Right click background images (add a Shift for background tab). Among a lot of other cool things.
From How does Opera make money (aka our most asked question ever)?:
> For the Internet embedded market, we receive revenue as a mix of engineering fees, maintenance fees and shares of sales income. The balance varies from contract to contract. This model accounts for the majority of Opera’s income.
What would be the incentive for partners to sign a contract for using an open source browser?
We combine all of the site's CSS into 1 file before serving it to optimize speed of delivery and minimize the number of requests, and it looks like Opera's ad blocker ends up blocking the whole thing. http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=804222
I just separated the most likely suspect for this and not include it into the minification list, could you please tell me if it fixed the issue on your end?
You mentioned it only works right for you in Chrome - so what's up with Firefox and/or IE?
Opera recently issued a browser.js patch for some Google+ fixes. I think the patch caused this and has been backed out. "Menu -> help -> check for updates" might fix it.
See the comments in <http://my.opera.com/sitepatching/blog/2011/12/21/g-amazon-live>.
But, damn Google (and Amazon and Yahoo and Microsoft and <insert airline site here> and <insert bank site here>) won't quit discriminating against Opera, so shit like this is going to happen.
If you have no issue with it, reset your opera profile .
(perhaps make a backup of the profile folder instead of deleting it)
After that, set up opera to your liking again item by item and check if reddit is borked in between
ie: test first -> then config urlfilter again, then the rest item by item.
http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/xml/rss/blog/
That is the best I have got. I know that there is an internal updater for the Opera next builds, but not for the Normal Opera builds, I am guessing it is primarily due to the fact that Opera doesn't want people updating to a potentially unstable build, and then complaining when it doesn't work properly.
I just subscribe to their blog, works like a charm for me. (I usually wait to see the comments section in case there is a major bug)
This way you can get the Opera Next releases before they reach the official updater. ;)
Edit: Try going to opera:config
Search for snapshots
Check download all snapshots. :)
Hope I helped. :)
I have the global cookie setting set to "Never accept cookies".
I then went to "Ctrl + F12 -> advanced -> content -> manage site preferences -> add" and created a site preference for the domain reddit.com (not www.reddit.com or anything. You have to be mindful of the domain you get with right-click on page -> edit site preference) with its cookie setting set to "Accept only cookies from the site I visit".
I then went to programming.reddit.com, typed my username and password (with the remember me checkbox checked) and logged in no problem.
This is using the latest snapshot from <http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/>.
So, it works fine for me. But, it's possible that cookies4.dat in the preferences folder (see opera:about for the location) is corrupted. Since the cookie setting for each site preference is stored in cookies4.dat and not override.ini (Opera tried the latter because it made more sense, but they had to revert it because it was a pain to get right), a corrupted cookies4.dat could really mess up a site's cookie setting.
To fix cookies4.dat, you close down Opera and delete it. But, you'll then have to edit each of your site preferences and set their cookie setting again.
You can see the old cookie setting wiki post for more info on Opera's cookie handling. There are a few things that need to be updated on the page, but generally it's still correct.
- hover zoom works perfectly
- you can set up default behavior of images when you open them in tab (full size, fit to screen,..)
- you can rotate and flip them
- you can set up so that you see the % and size in your tabs or status bar.
- preload images
two good "hidden" features are long press of left mouse button on image to force it - fit to width. And pressing "z" when you are hover zooming some comics/pics that are very big(tall) and then just move mouse up and down
The damn guy who is making it keeps it off the official extension list... dunno why
Searching for "opera twitter panel" using Google brings up the following (next time, just use Google -- I know people say that too often):
Have fun. Nice feature. :)
Though L was waaaaaaay cooler. N had some cool hair.
http://my.opera.com/darkineko/albums/showpic.dml?album=6110271&picture=92940391
Favorite girl hair i think is the kinda short white hair. Like Furano Yukihira from (insert infinite long anime name that non actually remembers)
>When I search for a word on a page, it would be great if I could see the number of results found and what result i'm currently on
yeah, its really missing. I would also like to add a feature from most text editors, that if you select-highlight some text with mouse and press ctrl+f your search popup with that text already in it.
This can be achieved in preferences(in keyboard shortcuts set
f ctrl = Copy & Find & Paste mouse selection & Select all
), but it overwrites your clipboard(ctrl+c) and would be definitely better natively.
Its extremely well known, yet rarely discussed. Here are a few articles/blog posts that touch on it.

That's not what ECMA 262 5th Edition Page 86 says.
For anyone using Opera x64 make sure you are using a 64-bit flash plugin. This completely resolved all of my issues with the plugin container.
The browser now runs so much more smoothly and I can open a dozen YouTube tabs without flash causing a temporary freeze or crashing.
Go to opera:plugins and make sure that you have only enabled NPSWF64_11_3_300_262.dll (this is the latest stable version as of right now, I believe)
And if you are on 64-bit capable hardware, you should be using Windows 64-bit and Opera 64-bit. I didn't even realize until about a year ago, after owning my computer since 2007, that my Core 2 Duo processor was 64-bit capable. I switched to 64-bit Windows and it is definitely more stable, plus supports my 4GB of RAM without PAE.
And anyone who likes Opera enough to put up with its occasional problems, consider running Opera Next and following the Desktop Team blog. Report any issues you find in comments, the Opera developers do read them, and each release comes with some new bug fixes, and some new bugs!
Holy god every one of those movies that I have seen is fucking terrifying. I mean, I love them, but I wouldn't want to live there.
Spirited Away- you get turned into pigs, possibly forever. Face-stealing shadow monsters. A train to nowhere full of dead people.
Princess Mononoke- Dying gods, horrifying clicking glowing white things, giant worm monsters that are contagious, shooting off someone's head/arm/leg with a single arrow.
How's Moving Castle- Un-alive scarecrow that follows you. Always. It has no need for sleep. Young girls suddenly becoming ancient. Teleportation/magic in the hands of a privileged few who can use it for their own purposes, without consequences.
My Neighbor Totoro- he's the god of the dead. I think that covers it.
Ad this button from tamil's post.
Hold shift when moving buttons around, I like it in top right part of UI
I always loved this theory, albeit makes the movie a tad darker. I just wish there were more perspectives like this for some of the other Ghibli movies. I know Spirited Away already has one but I'd love to see if anyone could come up with anything for Princess Mononoke or Nausicaa (can't see it happening for other movies like Kiki's Delivery Service of Whisper of the Heart though).
Well, here are a bunch of them.
- Bun cha.
- Cha ca la vong.
- Banh tom.

- Banh da cua.
- Banh khuc.
- Mien luon.
- Mien ngan.
- Bun dau.
- Banh gio
- Banh cay.
- Nom bo kho.
- Be thui.
- Oc - they are snails. Trust me, they are delicious.
- Che - they are sweet soup, or puddings -ish.

- Dude, if you like alcohol, try Ruou Nep - They are Vietnamese Sake http://my.opera.com/kimy0y0/blog/dia-chi-cac-mon-an-ngon-o-ha-noi Translate it into Vietnamese, they have both the food and the restaurants' addresses. It could be a bit much for 3 weeks, but you can use the addresses.
Ah Masking tricks...
It is pretty simple how they work actually... Your browser sends a plaintext GET method to webservers to retrieve webpages, and in this text, there is a fair amount of information that your browser sends about itself.
For example, if I use a simple tool to listen on a port and print out network traffic, then connect to it with Opera, this is the output:
dopefish7590@Angelfire:~ <('.'<)$ nc -l 7590 GET / HTTP/1.1 User-Agent: Opera/9.80 (X11; Linux x86_64; U; en) Presto/2.10.229 Version/11.60 Host: localhost:7590 Accept: text/html, application/xml;q=0.9, application/xhtml+xml, image/png, image/webp, image/jpeg, image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, /;q=0.1 Accept-Language: en-CA,en;q=0.9 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate Connection: Keep-Alive
This little bit of text can be sent anywhere that has a webserver, and the result will be the same as what occurs when you connect with a web browser. There are many little tweaks in this text that can be made to make webservers act differently.
If you have ever used Apache, you would know how it's virtual hosts look like, well... You can specify which of these hosts you wish to connect to if you change the "Host" field to match the virtual host.
The User-Agent is something you have already played with, so you already know of it's effects.
The "Accept" field will change what types of data your browser accepts from the server to interpret directly, anything not listed there will be downloaded instead of opened in-line the web page.
Why am I mentioning this..? Because most of these other fields can be edited by pointing Opera to "opera:config#Network"...
Play around with it a bit... There is a LOT you can do.
Other information about this can be seen here http://my.opera.com/karlcow/blog/2011/03/03/wrong-to-be-right-with-xhtml
Here is what Opera said about it when they added the feature.
I think the general idea is that when you load a website, you have to make loads of requests for lots of little parts of the website, if you have a slow connection then all the little requests add up into quite a bit wait. With Opera Turbo, the webpage is loaded using Opera's server's very fast internet connection, it is then compressed and sent to you. So you are waiting for a few larger items rather than loads of small ones, and the sum total of all the data you need is less because of the compression.
One of these days I'll get around to putting together a stock answer for this. Looks like other people have hit the basics but here's my normal warning.
Ferrets are generally very quiet animals. They do make noises while playing (squeaks, dooks and hisses) but generally do not make noise to draw your attention to problems in their environment. IE, a dog/cat will bark/meow to let you know they are out of food, water or need to be let outside/have their litter cleaned. Ferrets won't.
So up front ask yourself if you're willing to check in on the ferret at least twice a day to ensure it has enough food/water to last 2-3 days? Clean out it's litterbox at least once every day or two and let it out of the cage at least once a day? Not that those times are ideal but as a minimum? Any not just for the next few months until you become accustomed to the cute but for the next 5-8 years?
Without an affirmative to those foundational questions, the rest of the exercise is futile from the start. I dislike being a downer but I'd rather people be realistic in their assessment of their own desires and commitments to a ferret (or two, or three, darn ferret math) than to have another ferret posted for adoption, surrender to an overtaxed shelter, or worse.
I dunno, I use opera as my main browser, and applications like gmail don't feel slow at all, I don't notice any difference from chrome.
Also these JavaScript tests don't always reflect real world situations.
http://my.opera.com/emoller/blog/2011/05/01/javascript-performance
There is also quite a variance depending on the test.

Z1-Glass, my friend. Make sure to also get the user-script that gives you transparent background when viewing pictures, for extra sexiness.
Be aware that there is a bug with transparent skins and some plug-ins, simple but dirty work-around here.
The sync process has always been over SSL. The issue have been other login pages sending the same opera account passwords over an unencrypted channel. This is an ongoing effort, and we will move every site where the myopera account is used over to SSL before releasing the password sync in a final version.
If you want to know more about how we are syncing the password, go over to our Opera Link blog!
Hmm, when I googled it via my LMGTFY, the first result (hence the I'm feeling lucky) was this article from last month. Have a direct link this time.
the image for the alien hud was nothing more than a hi-res screengrab i pulled off a google image search. (similar to this one - http://my.opera.com/FranklinBR/albums/showpic.dml?album=14138612&picture=185887082) :)
The Hud was an animation file talkol found a few months ago when he first started digging into the code. He passed along the files to myself, and I decompiled and recompiled with the alien glyphs... This was before we learned how to properly import textures into the new file types.
I rebuilt the animation, but needed a way to show the transparency, so grabbed a hi-res screenshot off the web to place in background.
This was noted in the original thread when i posted up the animation :)
EDIT: Link to original alien runes animation implementation. http://www.reddit.com/r/chiliadmystery/comments/1qk9cp/deciphering_the_alien_runes_overlay/
Could you expand on that last bit a little? I guess your talking about load_cycle_count, but "wd-fiddle"? What's that then?
Edit: Found this: http://my.opera.com/ishitori/blog/2013/01/07/disable-wd-green-head-parking-in-archlinux
idle3-tools is available in Ubuntu, and installing it, then issuing a
idle3ctl -d /dev/sdx
followed by power-cycling the server gives me a comforting:
% sudo idle3ctl -g /dev/sdx Idle3 timer is disabled
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
There was a thread like that not too long ago, here's the things I got from that thread:
- All in one sidebar
- Context search
- FireGestures
- Greasemonkey
- Private Tab
- RES
- ScrapBook (Notes)
- Tab Mix plus (enhances tab behaviour a lot)
- Session manager
- Extended Statusbar (I've disabled it because it didn't appear to work, but it's supposed to make stausbar look the way it did in the old Opera by default)
There were also two different kinds of adblock listed there but I hadn't installed them yet — I'm really happy with my custom hosts file.
Other usable extensions I have: (that don't contribute to opera-like behaviour and weren't picked up from that thread IIRC)
- Ehnanced Steam (Suggested by friend, suppose it makes some difference if you're on Steam)
- Imagus (The best 'Hoverzoom' extension. Period.) You scroll over a link of a pic/thumbnail and it generates a popup with the picture that hides behind the link/thumbnail. It's very powerful extension (make sure to take stroll through the settings!). Note: Certain shortcuts for that extension may be in conflict with RES, and Imagus has shortcuts a lot and plenty. EDIT: Added link. It also seems that someone made a subreddit about it (but it's rather empty): /r/imagus
- Tube Enhancer Plus
- Youtube Video and Audio Downloader (because Tube Enhancer Plus doesn't place the download button in a convenient location.)
- OpenDownload² — adds 'open'/'run' option to the download dialogue. Which is useful.
- Download Manager Tweak — Because FF's default download manager didn't want to open in my sidebar.
Searched the quote, found the guys blog here.
"This blog isn't for christians or jews or muslims that defend their imaginary friend." Is all that is written. An Atheist that does not want to debate? Is that a proper sentence?
Try the latest 12.11 snapshot. 12.11 has gotten *a lot* of crash fixes. It might fix yours too.
When Opera crashes though, do you send in a crash report? If so, do you include your email address in the report? If so, you can pm it to me.
But, anytime you want to rule out your normal profile as a problem, you can set up a standalone installation to a folder on your desktop (for example) and see how things work there.
There's an urban legend whose ~~truthiness~~ trueness has been denied.
This recently started in OSX. I don't know what causes it, but every few days it will fuck up all the key shortcuts. Even if you select the option in the menu it will do something else. Here is a relevant post on the opera forums: http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=1464072
Great post. There seems to be contradicting evidence as to how the first states arose. I've seen evidence that the first predators were priest-kings:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/30267974/For-an-Emergent-Governance
http://my.opera.com/RyanFaulk/
I think the thesis you presented was from "Our Enemy the State".
The thesis I'm presenting is that if early humans were batshit insane:
Then some of the smartest of the insane started a tithe.
And another filter through which history can be viewed is getting rid of the insanity caused by child abuse: de Mause, Miller, Molyneux, etc. So, if the bicameral mind wasn't the cause of the insanity, maybe common severe early childhood abuse was the cause of the insanity.
Here's a bunch. The wide-screen version of that should be on the bottom of page five.
You've gotta follow the blog! http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/
12.50 was reversioned to 12.10 until 12.10 is stable.
Actually the post wasn't entirely clear, but thats what I got from it:
>The next stable release of Opera will be version 12.10 (12.50 will continue afterwards with further updates).
>The decreased version number means the you will not receive automatic updates from Opera Next to 12.10. However it is safe to install this build over the top of the last 12.50 build.
Also http://snapshot.opera.com/unix/latest/ is pointing to 12.10, and that's almost always up-to-date with the dev blog.
My Neighbor Totoro is about (rumored) death and based off of the Sayama incident that occurred in Japan in May of 1963. For those who are interested, the article can be read here: http://my.opera.com/sukekomashi-gaijin/blog/tonari-no-totoro
Ghibli has denied that Totoro is about death, but I don't think it's something they'd probably want to admit. Either way, it's an interesting conspiracy.
It's something that I've seen all Opera users naturally do after a while. It's rare to see an Opera window without 30+ tabs. Here is a recent Opera blog post with this image showing how you end up using it. The default "open in new tab" action of Opera is to open it at the end of the row, this means the tab list is chronological. My oldest tab is from 2010, I'll probably get to reading it some time during the next six months. Sometime I find real gems that I've not had time to read, just opened it in a background tab and then get a pleasant surprise a few months later, bookmarks is so old school. (Even though Opera has great BM support with cloud sync (first of all the browsers afaik), nicknames and more. It also introduced the speed dial which also syncs with the cloud) I reboot the computer about once a month, so there is no problem that Opera uses about a minute to start up. On my laptop I also have about 100 tabs and probably 150 at work.
EDIT: There is a reason why Opera has tab stacking, they know their audience. Also, Opera was the second-first browser (I think) with tab support (96?), introduced "open in background tab", tab preview thumb, support for vertical tabs, the tab bar can wrap to multiple rows, you can select the minimum number of pixels each tab can go before wrapping, has a panel showing tabs and other ways of listing the tabs.
Ouch. Have not seen this.
I back up all settings via disco stu's useful tool http://my.opera.com/Disco%20Stu/blog/opera-settings-import-export-tool
This saves everything. I used it to put"my browser" on my gal's PC. You can select amongst all the different things to save or not.
(I have thought opera should include this simple function for a while. maybe it is in there somewhere?)
bookmarks can come in/out via Opera's Menu/settings/import and export/(choose one)
I have not needed anything since moving from XP to 7, but I still do the drill.. Backitup. Later
If you've seen My neighbor Totoro, then you'd probably enjoy reading this interpretation a lot of the Miyazaki movies are veryyyy indepth about things that I have no knowledge of so a bit of reading goes a long way.
Honestbleeps is going to fix this in the next version. Also, I happen to use this extension and turn off the inline viewer in RES since this one's much better and works anywhere on the internet. I know other browsers have their own similar extensions, I'd try looking them up and see if they work out for you.
While I thoroughly enjoyed the read, it should be noted that Studio Ghibli, and Miyazaki himself, have publicly debunked this.
Edit: Here's a more detailed breakdown of this theory.
Tonari no totoro (my neighbour totoro) is rumored to be a tale of death. The creatures are gods of death and Satsuki commits suicide after Mei has gone missing. There's more about this theory here
http://my.opera.com/hellspork/albums/show.dml?id=875612 Many of the screenshots come from my netbook, save for the first which was taken on my 1.6GHz Celeron that came before it. I need to put up some shots from my new laptop.
The highest load I ever had was in 10.10 when I migrated data onto the netbook. Opened, combined and deduped all my saved sessions from all copies of Opera into one profile, 427 tabs reduced to 315. Saved that session, copied and loaded onto netbook. Saved open windows as separate sessions again.
The new 64-bit with OOP is impressive in plugin compatibility, and sky will be the limit for RAM. Performance may improve with many tabs open because plugins are tended by an additional process on another core....but other large programs may experience heightened degradation of performance now that OOP has access to more resources.
The things that help: https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/no-dupes/?display=en and https://addons.opera.com/en/search/?query=tab+count are good tools. The new opera:cpu helps quite a bit also to diagnose whether ONE tab is at fault among many. Opera has no real issues opening or resuming a humongous number of tabs, and is quite smooth in operation. It makes research and cross-referencing so VERY easy.
Two examples: Apple has still not merged the changes in CUPS needed to get autodiscovery to work with Linux machines using avahi. Apple works to undermine open standards.
Its an image pop up addon. Just open an image, hold right click and select the send URL to Google, Tineye, Karmadecay and some more sites for searching.
But all opera users probably already know that.
But seriously, I don't think there is anything that can be done right now. Complain on the forums and the Desktop team blog. I would say move to Opera 12 but it's even more slow and choppy; for me anyways.
What all organizations does Mozilla co-ordinate with, and how frequently (like for every release?)? Obvious ones that come to mind are W3c, Ecma International... etc?
How contentious is the environment at W3C when heavyweights like Google and Apple are playing at such heavy stakes (things like these http://my.opera.com/haavard/blog/2011/12/09/apple-w3c) ?
Using Opera from the first second I got my phone.
Well, knowing how I got it in the first place, this is not a big surprise I guess.
I tried other browsers too, but I always got back to the Opera Mini/Mobile combo. I use Mini whenever I can. And if it can not handle something, that's when I pull out Mobile.

Tho if you want to go really fast, you should use a korn shell (mksh is my new favourite for scripting).

yeah I'll look again through my lineup of browsers to see what was the other one hiding on me then.

take a look at this too. opera wasn't even showing the https. they would just show only the icon.
See <http://my.opera.com/securitygroup/blog/2011/08/30/when-certificate-authorities-are-hacked-2>.
So, in other words, once the CA revokes the cert, Opera will remove it. And, Opera even downgrades the connect to unsecure if the revocation URI is blocked.
Further, you can check "Ctrl + F12 -> Advanced -> Security -> Manage Certificates" to see if the DigiNotar cert is anywhere in there.
And, I believe that Opera can issue cert changes via "Opera button -> Help -> check for updates", which is automatically triggered after a while anyway.
I use Z1-Ultra on my Windows computer at home and the native mac OS at work. I just love the transparency of the Z1 line of skins.
Edit #1: We did this a while back to inspire Opera customization.

Also, you shouldn't rely on this as your only source for these kind of things. I recommend storing them somewhere safe, not 100% dependent on a specific program.
I had the same issue. It has something to do with Opera auto disabling extensions after the browser crashes. It usually lets you enable them again, but there's probably a bug in that system somewhere.
I found a solution on the Opera forums that worked.
http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=974392
>- Activate the extensions again - Type about:config in the address bar - Search for “Restart Unite Services After Crash” - Enable it - Save the option - End Opera - Start Opera again
>Note: our earlier HTML5 parser Labs build as well as an experimental build with hardware acceleration and WebGL had a UA string referencing "Opera 11.50". However, these features are not ready yet, and thus are not included in this alpha nor will they be in the 11.50 final release — expect them to pop up in post-11.50 builds though.

Hey guys, I work at Grooveshark and I've been passing orange envelopes back and forth with the OP and in the process I found out he's using Opera. Unfortunately due to a bug caused by our JS compiler on Opera, Grooveshark doesn't work in the current Opera build. However, I have good news! The upcoming release of Opera works great with Grooveshark! I encourage all Opera fans to check out http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog. They have a link to the latest release candidate of 4.1 there. We did a bit of testing today and not only does Grooveshark work but it's speedy! If anyone else has any concerns or questions, I'm here to help. :)

Hopefully that article isn't too dated. I'm not sure if they've changed anything since the 11 update.
Put this in your address bar
>opera:config#PersistentStorage|UserJSStorageQuota
It should be highlighted in blue. Then, set the value to 501, restart opera and after that NoAds should start working. If not, then try the urlfilter option. To do that, go to the link that tip_ty posted, press Ctrl+S and save the file to this folder
>"C:\Users\(yourusername)\AppData\Roaming\Opera\Opera 11.00\
This will overwrite the current list (which should be blank if you haven't blocked anything yet).
for more info on this option, click here.
edit: you may need to enable hidden folder to be shown to navigate the roaming folder. In that case, open your control panel, click on "folder options", then click on "view" and on the "Hidden Files and Folders" list select "Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives"
I found Feynman lecture where he mentions the rat running experiment:
http://my.opera.com/avalok/blog/2007/09/05/rat-running-experiment
Here is an excerpt:
All experiments in psychology are not of this type, however. For example, there have been many experiments running rats through all kinds of mazes, and so on-with little clear result. But in 1937 a man named Young did a very interesting one. He had a long corridor with doors all along one side where the rats came in, and doors along the other side where the food was. He wanted to see if he could train the rats to go in at the third door down from wherever he started them off. The rats went immediately to the door where the food had been the time before.
The question was, how did the rats know, because the corridor was so beautifully built and so uniform, that this was the same door as before? Obviously there was something about the door that was different from the other doors. So he painted the doors very carefully, arranging the textures on the faces of the doors exactly the same. Still the rats could tell. Then he thought maybe the rats were smelling the food, so he used chemicals to change the smell after each run. Still the rats could tell. Then he realized the rats might be able to tell by seeing the lights and the arrangement in the laboratory like any commonsense person. So he covered the corridor, and still the rats could tell.
He finally found that they could tell by the way the floor sounded when they ran over it. And he could only fix that by putting his corridor in sand. So he covered on after another of all possible clues and finally was able to fool the rats so that they had to learn to go in the third door. If he relaxed any of his conditions, the rats could tell. ...

Me too! I wrote about it in my blog, years ago. It is a quite detailed introduction to XCompose, how it works, and how to customize it. I know I'm biased (because I wrote it), but I believe it is worth reading. :)
When I've had this problem, I've had to close and reopen Opera, and then I could go back to browsing (until it gave the same error -- then I'd have to do it again). However, the fix is only temporary.
Well, I think the author is actually doing this as a reaction to the recent talk that we "will find an earth twin in the next year" that people are saying. No, there are serious hurdles, even if we have a 1:1 mass match with Earth in the exact same position in an exact same star type in a similarly aged system to even prove it's not barren or boiled over. And, if that's proven, we won't know basically until we get there what the experience will be like. Anything we have in our head will likely be somewhat off. They'll be weird. That I all expect.
But, for a taste of the weirdness, just look up the Flora/Fauna from Madagascar and Scrota, Yemen. They're all trees and animals, sure, but they've went a different angle, making them all strange. The planets we encounter will be likely a bit strange, as well.

Ugh... Totoro was a childhood staple. That is, until I read the alternate story interpretations. Here's one: http://my.opera.com/sukekomashi-gaijin/blog/tonari-no-totoro
The studio has denied these explanations at every turn, but still.. cannot un-read!
You won't see a count for a feed folder. Sucks, but Opera just doesn't show one. But, you can hover over the folder for a second and a tooltip will show. The unread count will probably say 0, but the total should be accurate.
You'll only see the unread count on the right side of the "Feeds" access point header in the mail panel if the Feeds access point has some views that are out of view (as in you have to scroll to see the rest).
As for the "All Messages/Unread" view in the "All Messages" access point, the unread count of feeds probably won't affect the unread account for the "Unread" view unless you have "show feeds" set for that view.
But, again, you can see the message count for any view in the mail panel by hovering over it with the mouse. You can also goto "shift + F12 -> buttons -> mail and add the status field button to the toolbar above the message list to see the count. You might be able to add it to the mal panel toolbar too (or instead) if you want.
Also, if you goto "shift + F12 -> buttons -> panels" and add the ">>" button to the mail panel header toolbar (to the left of the 'x'), you can click the ">>" button to expand the mail panel and see more info.

Theres an extension for that, but native option would be better.
The crash you are experiencing on Mac is probably CORE-49150. It was fixed in this snapshot:
http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/2012/11/07/higher-is-better
For some reason it did not affect most people, but some people were seeing it a lot.
There was a fix posted, but for Gmail only, so I don't know if it works for other services:
> Quick Fix 1: Delete your browser history (and close tabs). Restart Opera, and Gmail should work as normal.
> Quick Fix 2: Go to opera:config, find "Use Spdy2" and "Use Spdy3". Uncheck them. Click save and restart Opera.
Also, you could try the latest 12.11 beta (it's not a Next build) or check to see if masking/identifying as FFox/IE helps
Yeah sadly it doesn't have ICS - it's still running Gingerbread. Firefox just feels clunky and slow to me. Partly I think it is that I'm very attached to the Opera Mobile interface. The latest update to Opera Mobile seems to encounter freezes and quite bad slowdown at times, particularly when it comes to tabs. (There are some comments about it here.) I used to be able to have a stack open at once (and they're all about 80% text in most cases), but now it struggles with just a few.
I haven't checked out Opera Mini - I've always been a bit leery of how it works (though probably for no good reason - I might give it a go). I'll give Dolphin a go.
It's almost funny imagining George taking a tough stance on gay rights. I still can't take the man seriously at all.
This is the Bush I will always love.
http://www.opera.com/browser/download/
click on more options and make sure 64 bit is selected. for Opera next the latest version is always announced at:
http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/
and Flash x64 can be downloaded here:
http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_firefox_64/
The DLL extracts to \Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash if you want to move it to Opera's plugin folder, but it should be automatically detected. Disable any other version of flash in opera:plugins
Great, LeechBlock works exactly how I intended it. Thanks!
Having exactly this for Opera would be genius! Seems like I'm not the only one who thinks so.
