How does it compare to chrome dev-channel?
Built in bit torrent is pretty bad ass.
[QUOTE=sbradford26;20163171]Built in bit torrent is pretty bad ass.[/QUOTE] Its a pretty cool feature but im sticking with uTorrent
i tried it its bad bad browser but it's fast [editline]11:44PM[/editline] :hampants:
[QUOTE=GhetoGeek;20163258]Its a pretty cool feature but im sticking with uTorrent[/QUOTE] Yeah but it is nice cause I usually uninstall utorrent when trying to clear up space because I don't use it much but having it in opera makes it handy for random ones.
does it have a download statusbar?
[QUOTE=sbradford26;20163573]Yeah but it is nice cause I usually uninstall utorrent when trying to clear up space because I don't use it much but having it in opera makes it handy for random ones.[/QUOTE] uTorrent is tiny, there's no need to remove it.
[QUOTE=Yumyumbublegum;20163951]does it have a download statusbar?[/QUOTE] Yeah?
I've been using Opera since the 7.5 version (back in '01)... never looked back ever since... Opera is my main browser, Firefox the second. Looking forward to the final version! :D
Is there a way to set multiple home pages?
[QUOTE=Panda X;20164646]Is there a way to set multiple home pages?[/QUOTE] What do you mean? Like, have multiple tabs open at startup? [editline]02:05PM[/editline] [url]http://kyleabaker.com/2007/03/27/how-to-multiple-homepages-in-opera/[/url] If you just want multiple tabs to be open at startup, you can just save a session and have that session load when you open Opera.
Does this have the adblock and WOT addons like firefox and chrome? If so it may be time for a change
[QUOTE=Arsonist;20167006]Does this have the adblock and WOT addons like firefox and chrome? If so it may be time for a change[/QUOTE] It doesn't have "addons" like Firefox. For adblock: [url]http://fanboy.co.nz/adblock/opera/urlfilter.ini[/url] For WOT... well, I found one UserJS which implements itself into search engines to give you ratings of sites. Check out the blog here: [url]http://my.opera.com/PH`/blog/[/url]
[QUOTE=MisterMooth;20167014]It doesn't have "addons" like Firefox. [/QUOTE] That right there is the reason why I won't be making the switch.
[QUOTE=Zeke129;20169963]That right there is the reason why I won't be making the switch.[/QUOTE] Addons are overrated. Never have I wanted there to be addons for Opera since it does everything I want out of the box. Addons only make browsers slower and less secure.
This looks awful
I don't use ridiculously JavaScript intensive pages 24/7 so I'm happy on Firefox. Also, ad down the bottom: [img]http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/imgad?id=CL_Nkuvd-Y2JigEQ2AUYTzIIxmzXAX6G2aI[/img] :raise:

I can't get over Opera's interface. I think it's terrible. While it's the only thing I don't like about it, it's pretty big and keeps me from using it.

[B]Built in IRC client[/B] Madness!
[QUOTE=LarparNar;20170155]What about the interface don't you like?[/QUOTE] It just doesn't seem as smooth and integrated into itself as Firefox or Chrome. Especially Chrome. I don't like how the panel on the left (that contains bookmarks, history, etc.) looks, which has to do with it's color. I mentioned this earlier but I don't like how the main menu is integrated into the tab bar because I keep it hidden until needed which hides the whole menu in my case. It's just not appealing.
[QUOTE=Marlamin;20170184][B]Built in IRC client[/B] Madness![/QUOTE] Aye, it's really handy.

It's options menu also feels disordered and not unified.
[QUOTE=Banned?;20170203]It's options menu also feels disordered and not unified.[/QUOTE] Now you're nitpicking
Maybe I'm missing this, but is there a hotkey to open and hide the panel? [editline]02:35AM[/editline] [QUOTE=MisterMooth;20170215]Now you're nitpicking[/QUOTE] That's a legitimate complaint. I find it hard to navigate.

[QUOTE=MisterMooth;20170101]It's not just the JavaScript engine that's faster. The latest beta boasts a faster and better rendering engine and graphics library.[/QUOTE] So? I don't care unless there is a very, very noticeable difference for standard browsing, and for me, any such change would be from internet speed; from being at 512/128kbps to 64/64kbps when over my limit
