Stay off the Opera betas and previews, and you should be fine. The cutting edge is a bit bloody lately.

Nice. I have about a dozen "saved sessions" in Opera, where I had over a hundred tabs open, and finally got annoyed, but didn't want to go through them all at the time, so i saved the list, and started anew.
wait.. 5-8 years ago, wasn't everyone on this entire site railing against a certain company for integrating their web browser to the Operating System?
It was -really- terrible about 6 months ago, when it would take minutes to load pages.
It's not so bad now. It's still bad, though.
Your operating system should be dealing with that, not the browser.
Now open up 90-120 tabs as I usually run.
wow, you don't do shit in your browsers do you? My average browser workload has Opera over 500meg commit charge, the same in Firefox is enough to get Windows to say "YOU ARE RUNNING OUT OF MEMORY PLEASE KILL FIREFOX.EXE" (64-bit system, with a 4-gig swapfile and 2gigs ram
and using a Firefox without extensions is terribad.
I'm sure Opera's performance kicks the shit out of the rest of them still, anyway, too. Although the betas have been a lot more crashy than normal lately.
Considering that Opera is one of the biggest groups involved with the HTML5 definition, and that HTML5 as an official definition does not actually exist
You're trying to develop things that are in total danger of being totally different by the time HTML5 is completed.
oh.. my tabs haven't been on the top since i got a widescreen display. Since the tab bar is part of the title bar, you can't hide it, I guess. But it's only that way when maximized
I'd bug report that, can't enable that option if tabs are set to top.
Do you have something weird running in UserJavascript perhaps?
You're right, Link is not supposed to randomly overwrite bookmarks, it should be duplicating them. I think there may have been some bugs going through some of the snapshots between 10.10 and 10.60, as somewhere during that time, I have about 30 bookmarks that have just -disappeared- from both the Opera Link page, and my Bookmarks menu
MSN/Hotmail email is working perfectly for me.
I wonder if you have the Turbo thing enabled on it, and it's trying to load it through a proxy, taking some time to get a connection to that. I use Turbo on my netbook frequently, since I'm often on terrible wireless links, but I've never really used it on desktop
It could also be some kind of DNS thing
To all the rest of us, "open source" is only useful if we are actually wanting to do something with the source. Do you actively participate in the development of every single open source thing you use?
I also use Opera on my 166Mhz email server, if I happen to be logged into it and absolutely needing to do something on the web.
There was an upgrade to the Opera version about a year ago, i think, but yes, it does not get updated very regularly. That might be at least partially because it doesn't need to be.
Where there's a will, there's a relative.
