Opera 12 is great! Can't wait for bugfree.

As we know many issues with opera especially on mac, like vanishing bookmarks, crashes etc.

however 12a is great! pages load really fast, and hardly slows down when test stressing, spamming tabs
great tab loading management however there is a few loading problems especially with elements that cycle through even when not on the page.


also why do we have a round search bar? Just give us a square one already so speed dial doesn't look so bad.

love the themes, can't wait for a better ui to be developed to make themes look awesome no matter what you have

No hiding now men. Opera 12 is going to be released in end of 2011, Opera told at UpNorthWeb, now I tell when it can be released. It will be released in December, no questions asked. We can see Opera 12 Final between 10 December - 25 December (depends how early Opera devs are able to tackle with current bugs).

Oh, that's a great christmas gift! I'm very glad to see the improvements in the mac version, and I'm looking very much forward to the stable v.12

Most probably a pre-Christmas gift.

no,problem. I think some people forget to realize what an alpha/beta is and that it is destined to have bugs. I'm glad that the bugs occur multiple times, because the more we can reproduce it the easier it is to pin down, and allow the team to really put that section under a magnifying glass, and pretty much guarantee that it will not happen in the final release.

on a side note, it is amazing the amount of neglect opera gets in the browser wars. Opera allows its users (for the most part) to choose wether or not they want to utilize a feature opera has. So if you like a standard minimal browser, you better use opera because it is the fastest browser out there. Firefox is a train wreck, chrome is proprietary when it comes to layout, so if you don't like something forget about changing it. Safari is just a stable boring browser. I'm sure there was another internet explorer, but i just can't put my finger on it... what was it called again?

Why doesn't Opera Forum have a 'like' button?

It must work well on Windows, because it does not work on Mac. I d/l’d it and it was a nightmare. Not sure what you guys are raving about, I didn’t see anything remotely close to “better” or “fixed."
