![]() – Super Start = better Speed Dial, OO had good one. – SearchIMDB = with OO one could customize context menus for everything. – S3.Google Translator = first in the list that is not about defeating bugs or design stupidity, great addition, even OO did not have this functionality. – Omnibar = started using this because FF URL bar had a strange bug/problem that added many seconds delay when searhing from the URL bar. – No Close Buttons = and again, one of stupidest moves by FF, they removed about:config setting for removing close buttons from tabs, what harm that setting did?! OO customization was super. – Drag-Select Link Text = I got this only because Netflix in its wisdom changed their website to crap -> could not select movie/series title text and select “search IMDb” from context menu. – Close Button (Adds a Close Tab button to the toolbar) = once again, how stupid to need an addon for this, OO could be customized like hell. – Click to Play per-element = Why isn’t this part of vanilla FF?! OO had it. – Add-ons Manager – Version Number = this is stupid, I need an 3rd party addon for this because FF hid the info. – Add-on Update Checker = why can’t I get just check¬ify for addons in vanilla FF?! No, it’s just no update (and no notification either) or automatically, stupid. – 2 Pane Bookmarks = Old Opera (OO from now on) had it. In fact, with old Opera, I did not need ANY addons. Best browser so far.Ĭurrently with my main browser Firefox, I have many many times shooked my head of how much addons I need that provide “basic” functions that old Opera had from the get go. And is everything related to other web-technologies up-to-date and fixed? Is JavaScript safe with this old browser? That comes to my mind first. A stable version will be released this year, but it is unclear when exactly. ![]() Opera fans who like classic Opera but not the new one may want to keep an eye on Vivaldi, a browser developed by former Opera employees.īeta 2 of Vivaldi was released recently. The company concentrates its efforts on the new Opera browser, currently at version 35. The update is a maintenance update and not a sign that Opera Software has restarted development of Opera Classic. Windows users can download Opera 12.18 from the official download page on the Opera website. It is unlikely that a Linux or Mac version will be released by Opera Software considering that Opera 12.16 is the last version for both systems. Mail was updated as well, but he does not mention what exactly.Īnother thing worth mentioning is that the Windows version of Opera 12.18 is currently the only one that is offered, but that was the case for Opera 12.17 as well. No, no Linux or Mac versions yet.Īccording to him, Opera Software removed protocols that are not considered safe anymore, and enabled TLS 1.1 and 1.2 by default. They removed a few protocols that are considered unsafe, added some which were not in 12.17. I hate to repeat myself, but 12.18 is a security update. A user posted what he thinks has been updated on the Vivaldi forum. Opera Software has not made available a changelog for the version. It is interesting to note that Windows 10 is not recognized by the browser but listed as Windows 8 instead. There you find listed the version of the browser and build number. The new classic Opera version installs or upgrades fine, and you can check that you are still running classic Opera by selecting Opera > Help > About Opera. The notification may come as a surprise as Opera Software uses it to promote the Chromium version of the browser regularly instead. They can then use it to upgrade their version of the browser to the new version. Users who still run the classic version of Opera may receive an update notification that version 12.18 of the browser is available. When Opera Software switched from the company's own Presto rendering engine to Chromium/Blink, it was clear that this was the end of the classic Opera browser.
