they decided to open a couple of UDP ports whether you like it or not

Uncheck opera:config#UserPrefs|EnableUnite and check opera:config#WebServer|DoNotUseOperaAccount   But of course, patching binaries is always faster than reading manuals..

opera 11 beta

Norwegian browser maker has announced a Beta version of Opera 11 web browser


1.Tab stacking

Opera pioneered powerful tabs. In Opera 11, tab stacking lets you drag one tab over another to create a group. Now, you can keep dozens of webpages open, organized and under control.


2.A safer address field

Opera's new address field hides the complexity of long web addresses and gives you better control of your security when browsing. Click on the badge for the website to see information about the site you are visiting. You can even get information about Opera Turbo data savings.


3.Extensions support

You can now browse Opera's extensions catalog to add new functionality easily and customize Opera just how you want it.


4.Visual mouse gestures

Mouse gestures are another Opera innovation that has been made easier-to-use with the addition of an interface that guides you. This allows new users to discover the speed and power that mouse gestures offer.


5.Better performance

Our developers have been hard at work fine-tuning our browser engine to put Opera even further ahead in a number of benchmarks. In Opera 11, pages load faster and complex applications run more smoothly.


6.Enhanced HTML5 support

Support for new standards and HTML5 technologies means that rich, dynamic web applications and multiplayer games can be supported by Opera 11.


7.Extended auto-update

A new auto-update system ensures that your extensions and Opera Unite apps are always up to date with the latest enhancements.


8.Search predictions from Google

Search suggestions predict queries as you type, making searching quicker and easier. Google search predictions are now built into Opera. When using the search field or searching from the address field with the 'g' search keyword, Google search predictions will appear.


9.Plug-ins only on demand

An option has now been added to have plug-ins such as Flash content load only when clicked. This is especially helpful to speed up browsing on computers that have difficulty handling lots of plug-in content.


10.Enhanced email in your browser

A new mail panel gives you control over the order in which your accounts and mail items show up. You can just drag items where you want them. The mail panel can also show your mail panel when you are using it and hide when you leave a mail tab.


11.Faster installation

Even with its many new features, Opera 11 is 30% smaller than Opera 10.60. That means that Opera downloads more quickly and installs in fewer steps. Getting Opera on your computer is more easy than ever.

Opera 11 went final. It crashed on me after five minutes of use, first time Opera has crashed on me in months. Not crashed since though.

I can't download any extensions from Opera website. Anyone had any luck?

Me and my girlfriend agree we'd be using Opera if it wasn't for the UI and redundant options..

I use the J2ME version on my old cell though, on desktop it's firefox for ease cause of fireftp and firebug..also not all the crapwear sub-menus

What is the problem with the interface and what redundant options?

failed attempt to make a glossy skin, and all the widget, option, and bookmark duplicates in the menu system. There are also more menus on the bottom and some other places. It's performance and rendering are probably the best though..

[Teddy Rogers]

I don't know what you mean about the skin it looks fine to me

The widgets, it doesn't come with any. You have to go online to get them. I have not had any problem with bookmarks and duplicates and if there were you can easily delete them - its no different from other browsers

You can customize all the menus and options, with a couple of clicks - it to is no different from any other browser...

My dad's laptop (win98 with 200mhz) uses opera because my father still knows opera from his DOS days.. I prefer Chrome mainly because opera became slower and slower on win98, I don't bother to download it for XP

I am officially thanking you for this statement cause I always go in a deep ideological debates with my friends about opera and I always defend it.....THANK YOU.
