Opera 10.10 Goes Final


Recommended Posts

As previously mentioned, it'll be noticeably slower for pages heavy on JS execution until the next major engine update.

I really don't know why Opera bother with the desktop browser market... They're never going to be ANYTHING other than an also-ran against IE, Firefox or Chrome, but their mobile browser is widely considered to be THE browser for mobile phones.

They should stick to concentrating on improving that instead, and give up on the desktop market.

The browser has a stronger presence in Europe, and 20% market share in Russia. And even despite this, I'd be pretty proud if I would develop a browser that was used in 2% of all Internet-enabled computers in the world. That's still quite a chunk of users -- way more users than who are even aware that a site like Neowin.net exists.

Opera 10.10, now with "Opera Unite" :no:

I don't know why your shaking your head like that, you do know you don't have to

use right? Even though i don't use Unite myself or if i ever will, but it's nice to see tons of

improvements and bug fixes towards the browser.

Opera is really my second favorite browser, only one thing bothers me is that there is no option to switch to previous tab on closing current tab (all the options provided don't cover this tiny option).

wat (also, this is the default setting)

this opera icon appears in task bar [notification area] when "unite is enabled".

they can just put that menu ( +recently visited site, speed dial) for the main icon in taskbar. :D

btw, why opera has not yet done anything in "private browsing" field? :p

Do you know if there's a way to turn that icon from taskbar off????

Do you know if there's a way to turn that icon from taskbar off????

if your turn OFF Unite, that icon will go away.

if you use "Opera mail" or rss, that icon appears.

------

found another way.

Windows

Right click on Opera shortcut > Properties

Find target fields which should look similar to this:

Target: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\opera.exe”

Replace with: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\opera.exe” /notrayicon (with quotes).

Linux

Find your launcher and edit it by adding -notrayicon in the end.

opera %u -notrayicon

now you can use mail, unite & still no opera icon in system tray :D

Hmm, gotta say i rather like this release

i MAY switch, im not sure if i could get used to the internet with Ads again, specially that intellitext that drives me crazy. Ill play more with unite before deciding

Ill miss my password sync of Firefox, and extensions though..will have to explore further as firefox has been a real dog for me lately and i was hoping to wait it out till Chrome got beefed up.

I will explore further as I use opera at work for its security and speediness already.

is it possible to turn it off for sites that i want to support, ie neowin

yes

F12 > Edit Site Preferences... > Content > uncheck Enable content blocking

edit:

opera urlfilter vs firefox ABP

    • Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations by Usama Jawad Microsoft began integrating Copilot into Excel a couple of years ago and has been upgrading it with new functionalities since then. While some changes have been controversial, Microsoft is hoping to win over users by allowing them to be more productive via Copilot. To that end, it has now announced a Copilot improvement that may actually be appreciated by people who use it regularly. Excel customers often use the Copilot prompt box to issue instructions to format and customize their data, but it can become quite tiring to keep repeating the same instructions again and again. Microsoft now allows you to define Copilot personalization rules for formatting, naming conventions, formulas, and report styles. These can be accessed via Settings > Personalization, where you can explain your rules in natural language like "Always format currency in USD with no decimals", and just let Copilot take care of the rest. Microsoft is going a step further in this direction by allowing you to set workbook rules too. These rules are stored as a .Rules sheet, and are preserved while the workbook is shared. This fosters collaboration while making sure that standard rules govern the Copilot editing experience across the organization. Other advantages of this capability include pointing it to specific examples, defining dynamic formulas, and referencing an entire sheet and asking Copilot to infer rules based on that. You can leverage this feature by opening Copilot in Excel, clicking on "+", and selecting Create workbook rules. If you have an existing .Rules sheet, you can simply start listing the rules in column A as well. Personalization features are available to all Copilot in Excel users across the web, Mac, and Windows. Meanwhile, workbook rules are currently being previewed for Windows and Mac customers on the Insiders channel. General availability is scheduled after a few weeks, but a concrete date is currently unknown. Overall, the Excel capability is quite similar to ChatGPT's memory features, which allow you to permanently store items in the AI model's context window.
    • Imagine you still haven't discovered Total Commander that is doing all those things for three decades already...
    • This sounds like underneath the nice marketing spin, either someone at Adobe got tired of their lazy devs and asked Microsoft to help them sort at least some of Adobe's ancestral spaghetti code to make it go faster, or Microsoft wanted Adobe's crap to run better on Windows to make it look better when compared to Apple, so they offered to intervene. Either way, GOOD.
    • My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature by Taras Buria Files is among the best File Explorer alternatives for Windows 10 and 11. This free app is packed with all sorts of features and conveniences, but there is one crucial feature that is still missing—Tree View. Fortunately, the latest update in the Preview channel finally delivers it. With version 4.1.4, which is now available for download in the Preview channel, developers implemented Tree View, a new mode that displays folders in an expandable hierarchy. Windows 11's stock File Explorer always had this feature, but it was nowhere to be found in Files until now. Starting with the latest preview update, you can expand each drive and its nested folders without leaving the current location and then open the folder you need in the main view. To try Tree View in Files, update the app to the latest preview version, then click the small arrow next to a drive to expand its content. The developers say they are rolling out Tree View in Preview first to gather feedback from users and improve the feature before bringing it to all in the stable channel. In addition to Tree View, Files 4.1.14 improves the Windows Fonts folder. You can now preview each font directly in Files with no need to open the built-in font viewer. For now, these two features are only available in the Preview channel. For those using the stable release, developers recently released version 4.1.3, with improvements for the built-in tag system, on-demand folder size calculation, and plenty of various fixes. You can check out the full release notes here. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).
