Downgrade due to many problems

As many opera users here since version 10.51 has been released i experienced many many problems ( pdf crash , closing opera from task manager, many site freezed etc) so i finally solved my problem having a downgrade to version 10.10.
i've done this because i don't want to change browser but i think it is incredible that opera release 10.51 with all this problem in a moment where many other working browser are present on the market. i think that with 10.51 version they loose a lot of users.
with opera you will always experience some problem with some site that you will not experience with other browser but with 10.51 version we are not able to surf the web in a proper way.
for my work i use to read alot of scientific article in pdf and it is frustrating to do that work with 10.51

please do something to fix this not working version with a working one

Use a different PDF plugin or open PDF files in an external viewer. The PDF crash is already fixed in 10.52.

Please fix it yourself as I have done. I have no problems at all reading PDFs using the PDF-XChange plugin.

If you are using 10.51 I think the only thing you have to do is upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader.

“Better” depends on your needs. For me, Adobe Reader 9.3.1 is bloated, lacks features, and is difficult to use.

If you need to edit PDF files, Adobe Acrobat may be necessary, but its not necessarily the best option for a PDF viewer plugin. If you need to find text in PDF files, PDF-XChange is five to ten times faster. I wouldn't use Adobe Acrobat Pro as my PDF viewer if you gave me a free license.

To edit PDF files I use PagePlus, though never having used Acrobat Pro, I cannot say if that would be better for that particular task. I doubt if I would find it as convenient to use.

His point was not that he wanted to change his PDF reader, but that opera didn't handle his properly at this time, which is true...
And adobe reader is not exactly the odd piece of software found under a bed, good or not it has been there for a while and is still the most commonly used reader and browser plug-in; so, opera should support it properly.

His point was that he needs to do lots of work with PDF files — for that the best option is to change the PDF plugin — at least until 10.52 final is released.
