This rumour isn't even about the desktop Opera, just about some new mobile browser (it's right there in the summary) ...I don't suppose you do development work on mobiles. ;pEdited 2013-01-26 23:15 UTC

Going to other browser makes no sense - it will be even more alien to you than "Webkit Opera" (which at this point is just a rumour, anyway; and only on some mobile devices)

To be fair, Opera did seem to have (in my experience) such issues in the timeframe he describes - from 9.5 (IIRC - the first release after the "old style" 9.27) to ~10.5, when browser makers were...

I love Presto as a rendering engine. So unless they hit a dead end with the technology, I'm really put off that Presto may be phased out in favor of WebKit. I don't really even like WebKit... I've been...

Shame I've used Opera on and off for years, it's a shame they lost one of their unique qualities. Think I'll pass them on now, sticking with Firefox.

Yes and no. The important bits are sorted but there's still some "gloss" missing (text shaddows, etc). None of that is important though. I know how cache works (did you miss my post where I've said I...

Been using Opera since 2000 and while I'd be rather sad to see them move from their own engine (and really if they do this, can anyone NOT see them going all in with Webkit?) the reason I use Opera is...

There wasn't any highly evolving environment until Firefox, there was at least 2 or 3 years. What that has to do with IE8 I don't know.

The biggest problem that ie6 had was that MS didn't release any updates for years. You do that to any piece of software in an highly evolving enviornment like the web and it will look terrible in...

I don't know what your real terms are that you're using to define "user-freedom", but I think I disagree. Have you ever tried writing your own browser from scratch? I mean, even a simple text based, no...
