Opera 12.7 vs 25

Yeap pretty crap the new Opera.

12.7 >>>>

New Opera moved away from having their own rendering, to using webkit i believe. That basically means that it's just chrome with a different skin now. Stick with the old one, or migrate away from Opera completely.

I "upgraded" last year from 9.x to the latest and it was HORRIBLE. Thankfully, I was able to use System Restore to get my old Opera back.

norfar, stick with the old one. Every update is a further insult. It is amazing how bad it is getting, and continues to get.

Sadly yes, the good old opera is outdated and abandoned. and the new one sucks, it's just another chrome clone (at least for now) so no point on using that.
stick to the old one, or switch to firefox (you can tweak it to look somehow like the old opera, at least the side bar).. also you could download the M^2 mail client, is the same integrated on Opera 12, but without the browser (you know, if you used the integrated mail client)

The last good opera was 12. After that I went to firefox. Years of goodness went down the drain with opera. Thunderbird for mail.

I miss Opera 12 :(

Honestly to this day i keep finding useful features in opera 12 that i didn't know about before, and everytime i tried migrating, the lack of features on other browsers (or just having to look for every one of the extensions, which end up not working the same) makes staying on opera 12 much easier. Of course if you just use the browser as a chrome for web pages, moving on to a more compatible browser will be ideal, but i don't think most people that used opera, used it like that.

Just stick with opera 12 (some say 12.14 has less bugs than 12.17), and keep secondary browser for websites that dont'play nice. I put a button on the url bar to open links in the other browser, and you can put them on context menu too, not sure how to do it easily, i edited the ini file of menu.

I still have opera 12.7 it is the best.
New opera looks like a shit.

when people update something its ALWAYS terrible untill they get used to the changes, happens everytime with youtube

Humm to tell the truth the last firefox update made me think mozilla is going the same way opera did... chrome user now.

12 is better, but sadly gets more outdated and unsafe with each passing day. I wouldn't really recommend moving up to 25, but if you can learn Chrome that'd be for the best, since you're going to need to switch to something modern sooner or later. I still keep the old Opera around untouched if I feel like using it, but I use Chrome now for most daily browsing tasks. Using the half-way Chrome abomination that is Opera now isn't worth it.

Opera Next is still pretty good.

I miss the old Opera to be honest, but I like some changes they've made.

+1 for 12.7 (tab stacking option, that what makes this browser good)

25 is chromium based so you know wtf is this shit now.

after they changed the engine they really f*cked up opera .........

but yet i have 3 different opera browers on my pc and 12.x is the best imo....

one thing that holds me tight from going to 25.xx is they lack some of opera mouse gestures ......

to be honest opera mouse gestures are a true innovation just try to use em for some time and youll find out you cant live without em any more....

though old one still rocks but opera next(new one) after a recent update looks really cool....

people still use other browsers than chrome?

Still using opera 12:
1.Facebook message lags like fk
2.Facebook newsfeed lags like fk
3.Rafflecopter not working
4.A lot of frames required open in new tab
5.Crash on some Java Applet
6.I don't wanna.... talk about it....
YES, I, AM, STILL, USING, IT
