My OperaOpera 10.5
Wednesday, March 3, 2010 6:30:32 AM
I remember how much I had waited for Opera 10. I had begun to think that maybe, a stable version will never be released. the beta was just irresistible, but for some issues, not really usable for regular browsing. And when finally opera 10 was released, it was worth the wait!
but for some reason, opera software chose to hurry up the release of opera 10.5. I used the beta version once or twice, but didn't find much difference and some issues later, I decide not to use it. I was really surprised today morning to learn that the stable version has been released. But after using it for a few minutes, I'm thinking, is it really stable? I have never seen opera crash, although I've seen it hang. but 10.5 crashed with just 3 tabs open.
And what happened to customizability of toolbars, the thing I loved the most about Opera! Now I'm not able to place buttons as freely as I could do earlier. custom buttons are also behaving strangely. Also, the new menu button does not go with the overall theme at all, the old one was good enough, there was no need to replace it. We all know we're using opera when we're using it, there's no need of icons inside the window to remind us of that!
Removing the title bar is a very good step, it was useless anyways. but the tabbar could be made to look more in sync with the overall theme, where does the blue come from?
I hope the issues will be fixed in updates. And I want to tell opera, we don't want updated versions as quickly as possible, we want our browser to be the best. you can take time in releasing updates, but please release them only after they are fully ready.
Footnote: I love the new style of prompting and the slider to zoom in or out of pages!
