Opera 7.50


Question

Well I just downloaded Opera 7.50 Build 3494 and I am AMAZED! This program is pretty damn good. I have tried Opera loads of times in the past but never got on with it but the new UI in this version is really good (for me at least). It has so many features now!

I always kind of like the new mail client but not the browser well now it has not only newsgroup support but RSS newsfeeds and IRC client! I don't know if I will continue to use it but I am thinking of installing it on my mums computer. She is currently using Firebird but doesn't like it. In her words "it feels heavy" and I have to agree with her the UI is not as responsive as IE and other browsers. Also she gets annoyed by not being able to see the cursor in her posts on websites, etc (don't know if anyone else has had this problem?).

Anyway just thought I would make a post so that others can try out this new version of Opera. The download link is http://snapshot.opera.com/windows/o750tp1_3494.exe

I used Opera when it first came out on a mac and loved it. It was fast and trim. It seems now that they are adding too much cr@p to it. I'll stay w/ Firebird since it's still light and trim. But I do have to tip my hat to Opera for loading REALLY fast and opening pages REALLY fast.

Someone make an Opera lite ;)

yes well im download 7.5 right now, 7.23 progressively accumulates too much memory resources.

I had it running for 4 hrs the othernightm surfing neowin mainly, and it ended up after 4hrs having 110mbs of memory in use.

Im hoping 7.5 corrects this....

    • Payday TWO!! Is 13 years old man I feel old - I remember trying it out and if I did not know I would say 5-6 years ago or something
    • Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Payday 2, the most popular entry in the heisting game franchise, is getting a surprising update after all these years. This is slated to be a complete engine upgrade that will enhance almost every aspect of the 13-year-old title, targeting performance, loading times, file size, rendering backend, and more. Developer Sidetrack Games is planning a beta to test out the new version ahead of the full public launch. The development team today revealed that the long-awaited upgrade to the 64-bit architecture is happening with this Diesel 3.0 engine update. By letting the game use more ram than 4GB, it is said to improve stability and compatibility on most hardware. It should also help modders in the long term with implementing larger changes too. "While many of the changes are made on the backend and not everything will be visible to you guys because it is a massive rewrite of the entire codebase, there will be a lot of things that you can look forward to," Sidetrack explained. Payday 2 will also hop over from DirectX 9 to 11. Instead of visual improvements, this is slated to reduce the amount of VRAM used by the title, letting more lower-end hardware access the title and run it better. Since these changes would require a complete redownload of the game anyway, Sidetrack says it has revamped "the game's packaging and bundling system." This should reduce the installation size from 86GB to 32GB. "So, now it's time to finally move the game to your SSDs," added the studio. The Payday 2 Diesel Engine 3.0 update is entering open beta on June 30 for Steam users. No console release plans were announced today. Sidetrack Games says it has been working on this complete rewrite of the codebase for the last nine months. While these changes should break most mods, the studio encouraged modders to use the beta period to repair their creations with support from the development team.
