Just updated to 11.64 and found it uses a lot more RAM (memory leak?) -- as in twice as much: 440-550 MB compared to 220 MB previous for 6 open tabs. Also found it using 100% of CPU (this is on a 2010 MBP running OS 10.6.8). Closed it and restarted it and the RAM and CPU usage are creeping up again. Also found it hanging intermittently for several seconds at a time.
I'm going back to 11.62.
The rating here is for 11.64; the low stability is for the memory leak and high CPU usage.
+38
Reinstalled 11.62 and RAM usage is down by about 50% and CPU usage is between 0.2% and 10% once all pages are loaded, whereas it was at least 50% -- and at one point 100% with ver. 11.64.
@Sir69, if your recent, most eloquent Opera philippic was for version 11.64 in particular, I now have to say I heartily concur with you: it really does NOT join out for me -- at all. One might even say it is the Madame Butterfly of browsers.
Although I like to hang on to .dmg's of older versions of software for backup purposes for just such cases as this, the Opera website also has all the older versions available:
http://www.opera.com/browser/download/?os=mac&list=all
--Very decent and commendable of them, I must say.

It is, after all, only a Beta, so it's not like it's perfect already and not needing improvements.
When reading critical comments, I look beyond the tone, frustration, anger or whatever, and simply take on board what it is they are not happy about.
It's only one person's experience .. and that's cool with me.
I like Opera, although I only use it as a backup, in case there is a problem with Safari.
I also use Opera mobile.

Do you use the browser or are you just expressing your hate? Reviews should be based on usage.

Huh?
Have you considered improving the literacy and coherency of your comments on this site, which may help reduce the number negative ratings they're continuing to get?

Yeah, it is really join out for me. And how -- let me tell you. And have you tried it lately, before giving it half a star rating?
Opera is currently my browser du jour. I like that each tab keeps its history of URLs even after quitting -- like FF, unlike Camino. It does seem to be oriented towards developers and power users because of the plethora of preferences for it -- most of which I have no idea of what they are for.
I do like that the download window is another tab within the browser -- unlike FF or Camino. Also like that it gives one the option of renaming the file to be downloaded and where to save it in a little drop-down menu. Also has some useful extensions -- let me plug my favorite: Tab Vault -- a better way of doing bookmarks, if you ask me.
That said, I had been using version 11.62 for a few weeks now, and it does crash fairly regularly compared to FF or Camino, i. e. once every day or two. The nice thing is that it restarts automatically within a minute, creates and sends an error report, and I get all my previous tabs back, so it is a minimal imposition when it does crash. If I were reviewing it now, however, I would down-rate stability to 2.5. Hopefully 11.64 is more robust as claimed by the Opera change log.
One feature it doesn't have, but could really use, is the ability to print highlighted material only -- as FF and Camino do.
My experience with it has been on a MBP running 10.6.8.

Also, my review pointed out my machine and operating system because its crashing might be not a general problem.
Third, other browser betas, such as Chrome and Firefox, don't crash on my computer with anything near to the frequency that Opera has crashed on mine.

I checked (via staus bar icon) and Opera Unite is already disabled. The "opera:config" suggestion to me to a user's preference page with about a hundred entries, but none mentioning Opera Unite.
So I am still left wondering what the incoming connections for Opera are about.
That said, just became aware of the "stacked tabs" feature in Opera, which is kinda nifty, although I am not sure how useful it will be for my own purposes -- and it seems a little awkward to use.
Does seem to have stability issues (hence the three-star rating for this aspect of it). Has crashed a once or twice in a relatively short time, and some of the tabbed windows get hung, particularly when going back to previous pages. The good thing is quitting and restarting, one gets all the tabbed window restored, including the previously hung ones, which are fresh and working again. Also like how when restarting O, one has the whole URL history for each tab -- which is the case with some others, like FireFox, but not with Camino.

It is my primary browser on mac Lion, Slackware 64, Slackware, IPad and Nokia N900. I have tried all the browsers out there and found its interface to be the most innovative one. People say chrome interface is the best...but I just hate it as its not as customizable as opera. FF is just too bulky.
I just downloaded the version 12(alpha) to see whats new out there.
Just one mention...Since version 11 for mac...I don't understand why the heck they changed the position of tab close button to right. Wht not be consistent with mac on the left side. Though a simple tweak restored it to the left...but it is annoying.

However, Opera is the only browser among Camino, Safari, Firefox and Omniweb that gives me this same firewall query. Anybody know what these incoming Opera-related connections are?

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.

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.

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)
As is the standard, Omniweb just works.

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.
