My Opera
Core update with Do Not Track, and mail and theme fixes
By Haavardhaavard. Friday, February 10, 2012 11:19:41 AM
This is an Opera 12 (Wahoo) snapshot.
As you can see from the changelog, this build introduces quite a few fixes, changes and improvements. Since there's a lot of it, I'll highlight a few important things below.
Privacy
This Wahoo build adds support for Do Not Track, which allows browser users to opt out of being tracked on the web. It is currently disabled by default, but can be enabled by enabling the following option in Opera's Preferences dialog: "Preferences > Advanced > Security > Ask websites not to track me"
Note that this will only work if the site actually honors the request. Few sites currently do, and the effect of DNT will have to be evaluated to see if it is a viable solution in the long run.
SSL performance
This build also introduces a first round of optimizations for faster SSL handling (CORE-41667):
As an example, the first load at skandiabanken.no was reduced by one second or more. With 10 subsequent page loads, the time to open the page was almost cut in half in total.
XHR
With CORE-41784 (XMLHttpRequest Level 2 upload and progress events), we completed our support for progress events in XMLHttpRequest, for upload, download, and timeout update. This will improve the upload experience on Google services (no more Flash uploaders on YouTube and Gmail), and more sites are to follow.
More
There are numerous other improvements, including Core, mail and theme fixes. Take a look at the changelog for more information.
WARNING: This is a development snapshot: It contains the latest changes, but may also have severe known issues, including crashes, and data loss situations. In fact, it may not work at all.

SSL performance
This build also introduces a first round of optimizations for faster SSL handling (CORE-41667):
- TCP optimization to eliminate roundtrips
- Improved session negotiation to save on waiting times
- Improved connection handling which improves both HTTP and HTTPS connections
- Quicker closing of connections allows for new connections at an earlier stage
- Parallelizing OCSP/CRL uses half as much time to do revocation checking
- Strict transport security improves security and will also improve speed when servers start using this feature
As an example, the first load at skandiabanken.no was reduced by one second or more. With 10 subsequent page loads, the time to open the page was almost cut in half in total.

I haven't seen this reported so far, so I'll go ahead an do so:
When you open Opera and immediately select some tabs before the initial loading process is done, you get the content of the wrong tabs shown:

Have to admit, Opera looks best on RHEL 6.1 compared to Chrome and FF.

Have a look at this page.
All containers do have the same relevant bit of CSS-code (just the height is set to either 400px or auto), so they should theoretically behave the same way...
This is just a general thing. It is neither done right in Chrome nor Firefox...

The list of firmwares is cut in the middle, also in IE9 (the full list is not visible). The last line is: "I9000BVJP8 ## 2.2 2010 December"
In the latest dev Chrome, and in Opera 11.62 the complete list is shown - as it should.
Win7, with HWA.
Anyone confirm?

• Perhaps related: additional windows opened for Bookmarks (Ctrl+Shift+B), Downloads (Ctrl+J), or History (Ctrl+Shift+H) initially open completely black, except for Title bar and border. ...Appearance sometimes normalizes if window is Maximized or Minimized and then Restored, but (see next)...
• Sometimes the Minimized window simply won't Restore (more accurately, it appears to Restore, but remains invisible), and sometimes the window Restores to a completely different size and location (nearly full-screen size, but partially off-screen) -- at least one 100% CPU "freeze" requiring opera.exe process kill while experimenting with window resizing and Minimize / Maximize / Restore
• Enabling/disabling hardware acceleration makes no difference on any of the above
• [WinXPsp3 on AMD Athlon XP 1900+ 1.6GHz 512 MB RAM; nVidia GeForce3 Ti200 (v93.71 drivers)]
• [FWIW, NO similar color or window size symptoms appear on the same machine in either Opera 11.62 (1304) or Opera-Labs-OOPP-12.00-1293.i386]
