I haven't used this for awhile so figured I would try the lastest version - it runs smooth if you have one or two tabs but if you have quite alot 10-40 like I generally do it's horrible, it has memory leaks and a LOT of websites still don't display correctly.. (Although in the Windows version websites seem to display correctly which is odd).
Fix up it's issues before adding lots of new "features".
The interface is fine although I would rather have the Visual tabs under the addressbar (like Roccat) or in the drawer (like omniweb). Above the addressbar looks a bit weird (unless that's just me?).
Speed dial is great no problems with that, not really sure about the improve performance by going through the opera server - I haven't tried that as I don't trust that part.
It's certainly better than it precessors (Opera 9 didn't even deserve to be called a browser it was so bad). But still needs a LOT of work to make it usable.
Please sort out the problems, I can live with the interface, it's plenty fast enough almost matching good webkit browsers so no problems there either.
There are too many complaints regarding this browser; I have used it for years paid for it now it is free. What you want are no other programs conflicting with Opera; that means, no programs that will do what Opera will do. Importing bookmarks from Safari was a breeze, and setting up Opera was equally a breeze. With opera comes a free EMail account, and a password manager;no need for keychain access, as Opera has it's own Password Manager; you are also protected from mailware and Phishing. I can't understand the complaints I am reading, and yes, when my session closes, the stored cookies, and all website info are deleted! What more do you want?
Why not tell us how fantastic Opera is, after you explain away the fact that it's a memory hog. It's still dealing with problems that have been, pretty much, resolved by Firefox and Safari.
There is a simple answer; both Firefox and Safari use more memory, then Opera; using Opera requires a conservative aproach; do not use Quicksilver; use it's own Password Manager, make sure your plug ins are up yo date; This is the "only browser" that has "left handed gestures" I have a paralysis on my right side so this indeed is a tool for the handicapped! Have NEVER had a memory problem with Opera.
I'm sorry Robpatrick - you're wrong. I've tested Opera 11.60 several times with the same tabs open with Safari 5.1.2 and Firefox 9 (beta) and Chrome 16. Overtime Opera has severe memory leaks. I have updated all of my extensions. I don't use Quicksilver. Rather, I've used Opera's own password manager. This is a simple fact. I'm sorry about your disability. In other regards, Opera is great. I would love to support the "little guy" in this ... if I could, but I can't.
You apparently are telling me by "making a choice to do so that you "simply do not like Opera; this IS fact as I "trapped a reviewer and the reviewer broke down that Opera did not met their needs; you are not sorry that I am handicapped; no remark should be made because YOU do not like the browser; simply put those who are complaining do so because of "choice" now some facts the HTML 5 test came in at 325 out of 400; the acid 3 test passed, as well as every security test thrown at it; remove ALL your browsers except Safari and Opera then tell me you have a memory hog because you CHOOSE to have other browsers running; even in the background; that is being conservative; I ONLY have Safari and Opera; there are no other browsers running and no extensions running either!
SpeedDownload and Opera 11.6 work together! Here's how to configure Opera:
1. In the Opera URL Bar type: OPERA:CONFIG
2. In gthe quick search bar type: DOWNLOAD MANAGER
3. In the text entry block type: /Applications/Speed Download 5/Speed Download.app
Or whatever the path and name of SpeedDownload is. Now if only 1Password would work with Opera I could use it all the time.
Downloaded Opera 11.6 yesterday I liked it, but with one BIG caveat. With the same tabs open it used 25% of CPU on my Macbook Pro compared to Safari's 5.1.2 using between 1 and 3%. Sticking with Safari.
Does Opera 11.6 consume 25% of your CPU when on a simple webpage like www.google.com or is it a webpage that has flash, silverlight, etc. running on it?
The open pages were igoogle, gmail, macupdate, and Facebook. I've tried this several times and the memory use begins to rise very quickly, topping off at around 25+ of CPU, which compares to about 3-4% with Firefox 9, Safari 5.1.2, and Chrome 16 (ish).
even 11.52 is high on the cpu while idle.
my mom had to completely uninstall it after upgrading to 11.6 since it froze all the time.
if she knew better, maybe just trashing the cache folder would solve it.
either way, i also got fed up with opera. it only works fine if you give it some maintenance once in a while and i want a browser to work for me, not the other way around.
btw, even using youtube's html5 feature, opera is still high on the cpu while playing a video, the difference is that the html5 embedded object is more responsive to clicks than the flash one.
That's too bad. I really want to like Opera but the quirky interface bugs me so much I moved to Chromium though I'll keep an eye on Opera and hope they get it right.
I see no reason Google needs to mine my data so I use Chromium. Once you let your identify out (e.g. Google gets hacked) you're done for. Better safe than sorry and it takes no additional effort to use Chomium v. Chrome.
This is just to warn people that with this *alpha* build 1105, Opera are using full hardware acceleration (including the UI), this is going to hit a lot of bugs in graphics drivers and the OS X implementation. You can disable hardware acceleration at opera:config#UserPrefs|EnableHardwareAcceleration - you may also want to enable plugins-on-demand as Flash has lots of issues with hardware acceleration at the moment...
Please read http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/2011/10/12/hardware-acceleration and provide feedback there...
Only good as a potential browser. I've uploaded Opera Next several times and it always crashes within about 5 minutes. I have, dutifully, sent them crash reports. Just tried it again and was hoping that they addressed that problem, but they didn't. But, this is a beta product, but even as a beta, it shouldn't be, essentially, unusable. Compare with this with Google Chrome's beta. There is a world of difference.
It is not a beta, it is an alpha, and this is the first alpha, previous opera next's were pre-alphas. There are huge changes taking place and Opera Next is really not ready for rock solid reliability yet (this build especially as it is their first integration of full GPU acceleration which will hit the multiple bugs Apple's poor GPU drivers are known for)!
at this moment, Opera 12 is alpha; see here:
http://www.opera.com/browser/next/
It would be interesting to know if it be possible to list alpha releases on MacUpdate in addition to betas.
I've always liked this browser.... have used it for many years, but since about 6 months it won't keep me logged in on my Yahoo home page, when I restart the browser, even when I check the box to do so.
This is a minor inconvenience, but I have rarely used it since this unfortunate bug.
Very nice browser, the downpoint in it is the lack of compatibility with 1password app and other external software, but its has so many good things, it's not my main browser but I use it some from time to time.
One unique Opera feature is that in slow connections it auto activates opera turbo that makes web pages and everything else lot faster, you can easily share your home music, or files with this browser with the free integrated "server", integrated messenger, frigde for notes, photo sharing, etc.
It's a great browser and some times the only one that works when internet seems like we still using 56k modems...
hi, anyone knows how to stop the latest opera from automatically downloading .eot files during the browsing session?
it seems opera doesn't support these embedded font types yet.
Opera 12 is supposed to be alpha.
Download now says beta but it's actually 11.5 alpha.
So where's the Opera 12 download???
Is there even a version 12 download currently available?
Is anyone else getting a Finder error −8003 when they try to delete Opera Next.app from their Mac? I repeatedly get it for this particular file and no other. I've tried the terminal command rm and rmdir but to no avail. Would appreciate it if someone could tell me how to delete it. No response from Opera, of course.
I keep encountering the same problem with Opera with each of the 10.+ versions. My bookmarks keep disappearing. I keep importing them time after time, but Opera keeps deleting them. Does anyone have an answer or cure for this? I typically use Safari or Firefox, but Opera handles a couple of business sites that the other browsers will not load properly. It's just frustrating to have my bookmarks continue to vanish.
My suggestion is to find another browser.I don't know why anyone would put up with the deletion of bookmarks.I admire your persistance and endurance.Iwould have trashed it long ago.
Hmm..version 10.1 is giving me a not supported architecture error. So why does this still say ppc/intel? i guess that guarantees ill never use this..g5, 10.5.8, and a wtf
That is strange: I use Opera 10.1 on a G3 PowerBook, G4 PowerBook, Dual G4 PowerMac and different Core2Duo MacBook Pro's without any problems.
Are you sure you downloaded the correct version?
Note there have been problems with the auto-update function from previous 10.1 snapshots to this final release. You need to delete your ~/Library/Caches/Opera/ directory then do a manual upgrade to get it working, see this article:
It's quite long time ago since I last tried Opera, and still the same problem as then: Opera won't import my Safari bookmarks (and can not find Firefox bookmarks). Yes, it finds the right place in my own library/Safari/bookmarks.plist, but you can't choose it because it's grayed out! Exactly the same thing as before! And I have different machine as then.
I have very very many bookmarks and I am not going to put them all in opera manually. So goodbye again Opera.
I was surprised at your post -- I was pretty sure I had painlessly imported my Safari bookmarks when I first tried out Opera 10.0.
So, I just tried it again: Bookmarks >Manage Bookmarks, then to File Menu and Import and Export > Import Safari Bookmarks.
Did that, in about 2 seconds 4,000 plus Safari bookmarks were sitting there in a new folder called Safari Bookmarks. Ditto, Firefox, which also has over 4,000 bookmarks.
I'm using Safari 4.0.3 on Snow Leopard on a Duo Core iMac.
Wonder what the difference is between our two systems, that I get success and you a fail?
Btw, to avoid this kind of hassle, I use the amazing Bookdog to sync my bookmarks between browsers -- I use Firefox 3.0, Safari, iCab, and my main squeeze, OmniWeb, and Bookdog keeps everything in perfect sync, even dealing with the fact that Firefox doesn't allow the kind of dupes that the other browsers do.
Anyway, this isn't an ad for Bookdog - just wanted to say that Safari bookmark import flawlessly into Opera 10.0, and ditto on my laptop.
Also, if you really want to give Opera 10 a shot, and you can't get Opera's built-in import to work, just go to Safari, open the Bookmarks window and do an Export Bookmarks from the File Menu. In just a few seconds, you'll have a html file that Opera can open easily. Just tried it out to be sure, and again, my 4,000 plus Safari bookmarks were in Opera in a flash.
Super easy import of Safari bookmarks. Not quite sure why you're having trouble, but check the help for Opera. I still prefer Safari, but Opera is fast, stable and a good and the new Unite is interesting.
As much as can be said for Opera 10.0b1, you can NOT run Opera 10b1 on a case-sensitive format with Leopard 10.5.7.
After much trial and error over the last year, I finally tri-partitioned my 320gb hard drive for work, games, and school. The first format was case-sensitive as it has shown me a rock like dependability that the simply journaled format doesn't have. The second the normal format so things like WoW work. The third for windows rc 7.
The case-sensitive format has a few things that show up differently
- some programs don't install or work, or work partially like Opera 10b1
- Manga Studio 3.02 EX works faster... significantly
- WoW doesn't install
- Programs appear to crash less and load slightly faster
- There are no temporary duplicate displays when working in finder (Leopard 10.5.7)
That's interesting... How can I case sensitive file system perform faster? The opposite sounds more reasonable to me (but I don't know much about file systems, so I'm be terribly wrong).
About OmniWeb-as much as I like its GUI-for some reason it has always crashed within a relatively short timeframe every time I've decided to give it a shot.
OmniWeb has never crashed even once since I began using it as my default browser 14 months ago. Try the latest build of 5.10 and if it crashes send a crash report and get help at: http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omniweb/ No single browser has everything we might want but OW is the most customizable-without-extensions browser I've ever used.
