Topic: Opera 9.5

[kermi3]

Just got release.  Looks real sharp.  The biggest problem I've had with Opera (that was their fault) was rendering videos, and the few that I've tried so far have loaded in the pages beautifly.  I'm a fan.

Renders a much sharper page.  Nice so far.  I gotta test it though.

I don't know guys... I'm pretty well sold down the river on FF now... but I'll give it a go.

[ober]

*shrugs*... I've been using the beta so I don't really see a difference other than the fact that more video sites work now.

[Canuck]

I tried it at work for a few days, still havent downloaded it at home, but it seems much faster at rendering pages.

if i click on a link and decide i want to save it, i normally click the address bar while on that site and hit enter, to add it to the url list like i had typed it in. Opera 9.5 isnt adding it to the list, anyone else have this problem?

[ober]

I don't know about that one, but a bunch of other shit is different too... mainly the context menu in the transfers... shit pisses me off.

[Steve]

yea thats a bit odd. what i LOVE is the transfers tab doesnt steal focus anymore. god i hated that. Guess ill have to comb their forums later.

say i go to domaim.com and click forum. Then i hit enter in the url so i can go right to the forum, it doesnt add it. f%$$^ pissing me off.

[Steve]

and clicking on a url from the list doesnt bring it back up to the top. GAY i swear......

You know what, im done. Me and Opera have had a great run, and i paid for it back when they had the paid versions but im washing my hands of it and jumping on the FF 3 bandwagon. Since 7.0 opera has been nothing but great ideas that dont work, and now its run into the overall useability of opera which is now non existent.

Opera's support forums are filled with locked topics and the "we are better because we are and thats not a bug stop whining" attitudes. Thats it. Had it, done.

God i hope they fix it, i really do. God bless those who want to be lab rats.

I had to do the same.  Sad.

Firefox is NOT Opera.  It is very difficult to not switch back.  I just cannot deal with all of the Opera issues.  Firefox does work.

[Steve]

FF blows dick. If it had the speed dial and wand and had a less shitty layout/look/feel i would probably stick with it. I still have it installed because opera isnt handling php to xml output right and i need it too for testing the maps api im working with.

[ober]

I like the "wand" ability FF has over Opera.  You can probably get the speed dial thing through an extension.  You can skin FF just like you can with Opera... the default Opera look/layout sucks shit IMO.

I'm just sick of the BS with Opera.  It never works when I need it to.
