I know i can close them, sometime I don't have choice. When I was first running firefox/chrome/opera + photoshop + eclipse + thunderbird + many other program needed for my job, 4gb was too little... Now I use less resource heavy program. Replaced eclipse with sublimetext2, photoshop doesn't stay opened for long. I can go a day before I need to force close any program to free memory. @felix Program that run for too long seem to have difficulty freeing memory. Don't know if it's windows or the program. Non standard code, possible, I need to do within time constrain (don't like that part of my job, to little time to improve current code), but my html base is good, css and design ain't my thing. But I can say, I mostly develop with firefox, opera and latter test with chrome in mind, while other college only use chrome (don't even have a up-to-date firefox). Most of the fix I need to do are for chrome or ie8 (and mobile, but that's another thing). Chrome tools are good when debugging network or javascript, but I find the styles section to be awful when compared to firebug. Chrome might offer more than what I know of. |

Sites not working in IE 10 almost always work with compatibility view, so I think the whole "it doesn't work on lots of sites" is a tad overblown. I mean, I am a Chrome adherent, but I think IE gets far more flak than it deserves because...it's cool to hate IE.

It has, of course, gotten much better since 9 and 10. I find them quite usable, though in the end I ended up clandestinely installing Firefox portable at work because I'm just more comfortable with the lady Fox. In any case, I've never gotten used to Chrome. Chrome isn't better -- or worse. Every browser has its quirks. I know Firefox's quirks; I cannot stand to "learn" Chrome's. |

Opera Next 15 is now available for download.
For those who haven't been following this thread, N15 is the first Opera build to drop the Presto Engine and embrace Chromium/Blink instead (you can tell just by the installer size, which has almost doubled due to Chrome's bloat). As such, it is lacking a LOT of features (from what I hear through the grapevine, the Opera Skins are about to follow the dinosaurs, the European lion and the mammoths into the land of extinction) and should not be used as an everyday browser. Oh, and in case you haven't heard of it either, Opera has decided to splice the Mail functionality away from the main source code. Opera Mail is now a completely standalone application (yes, it's now going into Thunderbird/Outlook territory).

They had been promising this feature for a very long time, although there was some deliberation over whether the mail client would be a separate program or an optional install. I used Opera as my mail client, RSS reader, and browser for a number of years, and switched away shortly after moving to Mac OS X and noting that tighter integration with OS X core services wasn't a priority for Opera; if I were still using them, I'd welcome this split between browser and mail client.

Other than that: this hasn't much to do with Opera except for maybe the logo and the mouse gestures. Everything else is missing and it's something totally different. |

Opera 15 is out.
Spoiler for changelog:
Not sure whether I'll upgrade, I'm still pretty comfortable with v12.15 (which still has the RSS/Mail system in-built [which I use quite frequently to receive RSS updates], unlike v15). EDIT: made a separate install and immediately had an Gabriel Iglesias "oh hell no" reaction to the ultra-minimalist UI (wtf they merged the bookmarks with the speed dial). You can tell they completely gutted the old Opera. The new engine is fast, but I prefer Opera v12.15 by a thousand parsecs - at least I can customize it the way I want. As for v15: trashcanned with a Damnatio Memoriae slapped on top of it.

Well, at least Opera has promised to keep working on future updates for v12.x, so I'm happy I won't have to force myself to use that v15 horror (oh, and some Opera users have drafted a list of old Opera features that will or will not make their comeback in future v15 updates) for some time.
In other news, the backlash over v15 has been big enough to generate online petitions aimed at making the old Presto engine open source (the one I linked to has no supporters/signatures ATM). I don't think Opera will indulge the Presto nostalgics, but I'm still crossing my fingers one of these will succeed.

On the other hand the firefly inspector was 2nd worst next to IE's. Then again Chrome spoils developers with it's tooling.

Where have all the good browsers gone?:
"Using an Internet browser has become such a requirement that you'd think we'd have one that really works. Alas, we do not. I bounce back and forth between Internet Explorer and Chrome on Windows, between Firefox and Chrome on Linux and between Safari and Chrome on my iOS devices but none are working all that well for me. I need a reliable, stable, do-everything browser that is also cross-platform and I just can't find one that I'm satisfied with. It's very frustrating. To heck with the old adage, "Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door." What we need is a better browser. You can name it "Mousetrap" if you want to. I just want it to work. At this very moment there's a conversation with my Google+ homies concerning Chrome eating up 100% CPU on Linux. It does it on Windows too, by the way. I often have to deal with Chrome crashing on my Windows 7 PC. Often, I'll have it crash on my iPad or iPhone. And sometimes in Linux, it just disappears without a trace. Firefox seems to be no better as one of the respondents in the Google+ conversation just said, "Incidentally, I'm getting a very similar result with FF and the same number of tabs open so not sure why some people seem to have better results with that." Apparently I'm not the only one receiving bad mojo from browsers." See: http://www.zdnet.com/where-have-all-...ne-7000018874/ |
