They had it that way after the feature was first implemented but a lot of people complained in their forums and blogs so it was changed. Can't please everyone.

Btw. the new build released today fixes a lot of small stuff. Imo it's the best build since a long time.

This build.

Fixes some month old bugs too: the image loading bug (images load from 0%-10%-(long pause)-100%) and Flash videos not painting correctly on first load.

The built-in ad blocker works very well. There's a good block list here

Thanks man. Btw, Opera is very very nice. I haven't tried it in a year or so, but now it's definitely better than Firefox. Mozilla has to slim down Firefox a lot to make it feel light like Opera & Chrome.

I think I'll stick to Opera for now :yes:

Edit: Why is this in the Back Page News and not in software/Browsers section?

Thanks for the pointer, any chance i could get my previous file out to new installation?

Try uninstalling the beta, then reinstall it and point its install directory to your old installation.

Nothing can beat good ol' command line though...

:laugh:

Lynx rulezzzzzzzzz!

Seriously though, Opera rocks. It really does. But, it also desperately needs an API

[Note to other Opera fans: Before you jump on me, yeah I know a good deal about the different customisation possibilities offered by Opera, having blogged about them extensively in the past].

It's odd that the thread for Opera 10.6 Alpha received mostly positive comments due to the increase in speed, while this thread has mostly received negative comments. I've been testing out this version of Opera since it was released yesterday, and I only have positive things to report. It's been very fast and stable. The only problem I have with this release is the "menu" text on the menu button, but that can easily be removed. I hope other people won't let the negative comments prevent them from trying out Opera.

Every browser, OS, application, phone, pc, laptop, tablet, <insert brand name here>, and <insert manufacturer here> has unfortunately haters who live to post in threads about them and talk trash. It's even worse when it directly compete with their <insert all items listed earlier here>. They feel the need to run the competition into the ground, call them fanboi's or whatever it's what they do and will always do.

I've never understood the people who post in the Opera threads about how Firefox, Chrome or Safari is so much better for this reason or that one, same with the Microsoft v. Apple crap.

If you like Opera use it, it's a great browser, I prefer Firefox for the extensions, but I have Opera installed because I like it as well. I used Chromium for a while but eventually removed it, it just didn't have a compelling reason for me to keep it. It wasn't bad, but Opera and Fx do all I need.

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Looks a very subjective aren't they!? I like its simple design. I love the way Apple designs their products with function over form, minimalization, and simplicity over cluttered complex designs. Many, not all, of their products follow this trend, and the device becomes a tool rather than dominating the space. I do not however like their OS. I have never bought a Apple product, and while I'd consider the Neo for my wife, I am hoping there are better alternatives out there when her failing MacBook Pro 2017 finally stops. Fischer-Price is famously plastic, garish, and poorly made. Basically you're describing the Window Laptops the Neo competes against! This is how product design should be, and what Apple have often followed in recent years: https://tenprinciples.design/
    • AV2, successor to popular YouTube, Netflix, Amazon codec AV1, has a hard battle ahead

      By Skyfrog · Posted

      Isn't that true for every codec? I remember having to buy a PCI MPEG-2 decoder card just so I could play DVDs on my computer back in the late 90s. AV1 support is still fairly new.

      I'm no Apple fan, and have never bought an Apple product for myself. But I'd argue that where you think Apple is behind regarding an OLED display, that the vast majority of people out there wouldn't even know or care for an OLED. Apple have struck the balance well to create a price point that works, and I hope that PC manufactures, and Microsoft take notice. I'd argue that Asus will struggle to compete with the Neo BECAUSE they put in a more expensive OLED that many people won't actually notice with its deeper blacks. Most people wouldn't care either that their screen is stuck at 60Hz! When I bought a 4k monitor (future proof and for the space), my laptop could only push that out at 30Hz, and it worked fine for my needs for 1.5 years! Heck, the average human eye can't see more than 90Hz in many situations!! So while they are trying to differentiate themselves, and it may well gain them a few customers, for the most part, I think they're missing the point of what the Neo is for.
    • Amazon Greenlights A New "Stargate" Series

      By ryansurfer98 · Posted

      I disagree. Boomer execs only want one thing; money money money. The original fans of the series want a specific reboot that focuses on the vibe and feel of the original series. Boomers don't want that because then they can't have a 8 to 9 figure return. This was canceled because of greed. 
    • Meta rolls out Meta Business Agent globally on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Meta rolls out Meta Business Agent globally on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger by David Uzondu Image via Meta Meta is expanding Meta Business Agent, a feature that the social media giant promises will help businesses deliver "personalized experiences for customers using AI," launching the tech globally. Before this global release, Meta Business Agent used to be a free test called "Business AI" during a testing phase that started in October 2024. Meta picked India, Mexico, and Brazil to test the software, gathering data from over one million active shops that used the chat tools. The agent works on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger, helping shops answer customer questions, check incoming leads, book appointments, and recommend products from a catalog. Meta said that the business agent can match your brand's unique tone when speaking to customers, and that it plans to improve the feature to handle "daily operations" like market research, product insights, calendars, and rival research. Soon, users will find these AI-supported shops easily by typing names in the WhatsApp search bar. Image via Meta Apart from the Business Agent, Meta is also introducing the Meta Business Agent Platform, a new agentic platform that provides the infrastructure needed to build, customize, and run virtual helpers at scale. With the Platform, companies link their bots to services like Shopify, Zendesk, and Shopee using firm-level controls, guardrails, and metrics to define strict rules. This setup lets coders build custom behaviors, keeping customers happy with direct answers. Speaking of agents, you might have heard that hackers recently broke into Instagram accounts by simply asking the Meta AI support assistant on the mobile app to hand over control. You can check out our coverage on that here.
