Did so a long time ago. Opera still crashes and freezes a lot.
Also I wonder, Firefox etc also has Flash/plugins. Why don't these other browsers crash a lot too like Opera then?
$ grep kill ~/.bash_history | grep opera | tail -5
killall -9 opera
killall -USR2 opera
killall -9 opera
killall -9 -9 -9 opera
killall -9 opera
$ grep kill ~/.bash_history | grep opera | wc -l
175
I've used Opera for years since the 5.x days and have always loved it, but the past year it's generally becoming less stable and more annoying. It always seems to eat 100% cpu after some time, or crash at other times. Some builds are really terrible, stability- and performance-wise. Meanwhile Firefox is getting faster and faster and more stable and I'm finding myself opening Firefox more and more often.
However (unfortunately?), nothing comes close in handling lots of open tabs like Opera.
