Ever since they abandoned the Presto engine it's all been down hill. They needed to make the new versions look and have the exact same functionality as the old Presto versions to retain the previous loyal userbase.
Like I said, I still use Opera 12.17 as it is just the best browser around in terms of functionality. At least for me it is. Firefox can come close but not there yet unless I use a ton of browser mods. I won't use chrome except for Netflix so....
Imo it's their fault no one uses the newer versions of the browser since it really is nothing to write home about. I like using Dillo more come to think of it.

I liked Opera back in its Presto days, but after the switch to Blink the only reason to use their browser was if you didnt want to use Chrome. Even then, it lags behind Chrome when it comes to certain features.
If instead of chasing after Chrome, they had helped improve the Gecko engine, then maybe they wouldn't have become "yet another Blink/Webkit browser". Or maybe open sourcing Presto would have helped too.Last edited by Aeder; 09 August 2015, 02:24 PM.

They kinda fixed a lot, now on 31/32 it's usable, with a couple of well placed extensions that is, but there are still issues and they know about them, the community in pretty strong (and this is the sad part), although as things work out now Vivaldi will get a jump in user base rather sooner than later.
