Anyone tried opera 15?

Opera is better then firefox but chrome beats everything IMO, or well really, no differance I think, or maybe there is, or meh. And yeah obviously you're on Linux since you mentioned chromium (am I wrong here?)

hated it... it lacks of everything that made Opera different from chrome or other things.
well, that is just because i'm using the browser since the version 8... so probalby is too different now.
it's fast yeah... but looks like a chrome clone (and the fucking thing doesn't even have a proper bookmark system, i mean, WTF!?)

did i say that i hated it?

I don`t know but chrome is garbage.

Looks great, might give it a try later.

For some reason... Opera doesn't work good on my PC... I can't use sites like tf2r.com because i get a ban for using "proxy"... I don't know why but, sites like Google or Youtube appears to me in english (instead of spanish, because i am from Argentina)
i don't know why Opera do these things to me.. But i will try this Opera 15...

Opera 12... Presto, integrated mail clinet, powerfull dev tool Opera Dragonfly, a lot of customazing
Opera 15... Google Chrome with new clothes :/
i use Google chrome but at the same time its bad they chose it cuz opera was diferent in good way. now its just another google chrome.

I just tried it, now the fonts in Opera are just as ugly as they are in Chrome. Extended Opera settings are gone, replaced by rather useless Chromium ones, so no way to force font smoothing anywhere. I was hoping Opera to be the new Chrome with font smoothing done properly. Oh, well. Staying with Firefox with its pretty fonts, nice gif renderer and its option to not to load freaking tabs until selected.

The only thing in Chrome which DOES annoy me a lot is, because of my bookmarks, how slow it starts up. I mean really slow - like 10-15 secs every launch.

Unfortunately, Opera 15 basically is Chrome right now - nice performance, unusable. There's still some hope that this is just a temporary step and that future versions will restore the power of old Opera's interface and options, but until then I'm sticking with Firefox despite all Mozilla's attempts to destroy it.

Happy New Year 2010.
I'm using Internet Explorer, hope I'm not too late

Sticking with opera 12...

Chrome comes out on top to me.

Then comes Opera/Firefox in equal terms.

Safari comes last.

Internet Explorer comes from under the ground (burried). :rolleyes:

Ps: No, i haven't tested the new Opera.

Yup. To be honest...IT SUCKS. Call it anyway you want but v15 is far from Opera we all know.

For me Opera starts with a bug. Access violation (I have a screenshot but I didn't bother investigation any further). Everytime I hit enter or paste & go I get this so I have to do it again, in the same tab or I'll get it again.

It's slower on my system and that says a lot since for me opera 12 does THIS quite often.
It lacs everything you would expect not only from Opera but from minimalistic browsers.

No GUI customization, no rss & mail client, no session manager, no bookmarks?:| (and no, Stash ain't bookmarks replacement), fonts suck, speed dial limitations, dumb down dev tools (dragonfly was awesome :().

If I wanted to use Chrome I would have done so long ago but I simply hate it.

I used to be a fan of opera for more then 10 years.
But the 15th is not Opera anymore. I lack the customisation in Chrome but this browser is even worse.
For a while I would on Opera 12.16, but if future (Opera 16, Opera 17) releases do not become better I'll switch to Firefox (already collected a bunch of extensions for it) or Sleipnir (a Chromium based browser too but with more customisable interface).

I want to like it, but the lack of bookmarks is just a deal-breaker for me. It runs much faster than Opera 12 on my computer (especially on sites like Facebook), and I really like how the new speed dial works (minus the giant Google search bar)... yet it simply isn't worth it if the browser lacks fundamental things like bookmarks. Who thought that it was a good idea to get rid of that?? I have to believe that a large majority of Opera users use them, and now they're gone. And no, the Stash + Speed Dial is not a replacement for them...

I'm sticking with Opera 12 for now, and if they don't add those features which we've lost into Opera, I'll consider moving over to Firefox.

Thanks for the heads up. I tried it, but I can't seem to find the customisation options of the old Opera, such as the position of the tabs and multiple tab rows.

Firefox is the only browser I know which handles a large number of tabs (100+) gracefully, so I'll stick with it. (Well, I'm using Pale Moon, but it's the same thing.)

I've just tried it. On starting page there is wrong search engine and no way to change it (at least I didn't find it).
Missing bookmark manager is also a downside.

I've tried version 13, but I prefer chrome as my main browser.

1º Chrome
2º Firefox
3º Opera

I haven't tried it, but after reading the other comments I don't think I will if it stays in its current state.
If they removed all the features that made Opera great for me and more or less turned it into a Chrome-like (which I hate as it lacks so many features and customization options and takes wayyyyyyy too much RAM too), I really see no point in using it... :/

No, I already have Chrome installed.

Staying with Opera 12.xx

Installed it a while ago, feels nice and fast. I'm a chrome user and I still like the interface, the stash feature is good since it lets you find any text on the saved page, but it cannot defintely be a total replacement for bookmarks, really missing the bookmarks bar from chrome.

It's featurless even compared to Chrome, which is the ultimate in lacking features/customizability. Opera's fanbase exists because of it's ultra customizability and workflow, and none of that exists in Opera 15. If I liked chrome (and I don't), I'd use that over O15 because there's simply no reason to use it over Chrome.

I'll be sticking with 12.x
