There isn't a 64-bit Windows version of Opera, or any Windows browser except the IE9 beta and some very unsupported Firefox builds. This is mainly because 64-bit browsers can't use plugins written for 32-bit software without jumping through all sorts of hoops, which don't work terrible well as anyone running Firefox on a 64-bit Linux and trying to use Flash can tell you. There's a 64-bit version of Flash in the works, which may resolve some of this, but the only real reason you'd need a 64-bit version of a browser is if you needed it to directly address more than 2GB of memory, and even the 200-tab Opera crazies don't really need that. 32-bit Windows apps run just fine on 64-bit Windows, by design. (I feel like I'm talking about the Super Nintendo circa 1991 or something.)

Well then you're talking to the right guy. I didn't get my SNES until 1996-ish, and loved it like it was the latest exciting technology. Um, Opera!

I actually sat down and tried to choose between the SNES, 64, and PSX. I went with the SNES new for 70$ over a 64 for something like 100 or 120$ new. The 64 later turned out to be my favorite system ever, but I don't regret choosing the SNES.

I don't know what your point is, either, but I'm not entirely sure I understood your meaning. Not to derail, but I would say that a large percentage of FF installs are without extensions because they are run by the parents of people who just tell them, "IE sucks, use FF. Here, let me install it for you." And then they leave the base install. I see that all the time on PCs of people with children in college.

Heck, I don't know about other OEMs but new HP computers include Firefox in their factory image. It's called something like Firefox - Virtual Browser Edition.

I've done this for my mom's computer, but it's a rather old iMac, so I also installed AdBlock so that it wouldn't run so many CPU-eating Flash ads. I suspect this is relatively common. I'd have her switch to Camino but that would require teaching her to use yet another browser and it's just not worth the effort.

http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/ The gesture UI switcher option is back in the latest builds, along with a handy rightclick menu option to enable/disable the "show full url" thing in the url bar. Tab stacking is still buggy in some usage cases. Personally I was just waiting for the gesture UI switcher so I've upgraded again.

http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/2010/12/14/rc1 11.0 RC1 There seems to not be any major issues so you might as well upgrade unless you'd rather just be patient and wait until they call it final. The tab stacking ui looks different now, at least for vertical tabbars. It wastes more space but I can live with it. Lakitu7 fucked around with this message at 23:34 on Dec 14, 2010 |

Automatic stacking being out is kind of a bummer because I would rather them develop usability options for auto stacking than to abandon the idea of it (well, "it will not return in the short term"). On the plus side, next/previous tab navigation seems to be as you'd expect it to be (extremely happy about that), undoing a closed tab restores it to its stack, and closing a tab in the middle of a stack doesn't create that phantom compress stack arrow. Frankly speaking auto stacking with a toggle button would be very livable right now given these fixes.

So remembering visited links across sessions seems to be disabled for good. opera:config#VisitedLink|VisitedLinksState options are 0 = disabled completely (visited links always look the same as non-visited links), 1 = same domain only, 2 = version 10 behavior. poo poo.  This is a feature I really miss, and in my mind makes usability worse.e: holy poo poo the new address bar is annoying. e2: At least you can disable it.

yeah i did, to 1, but it's still recognizes way less than it did before. i'll try further lowering the threshold if it's possible. it's not that it doesn't recognize small movements, it's like the movements have to be more perpendicular than before

i guess it's just the way i do gestures. i've now noticed that the main problem is that when doing the close tab gesture, the first "down" part has to be way more vertical than before. and i'm used to doing that part at like a 20 degree angle. oh well, i guess i'll get used to it

Oh cool, let's change pinned tabs to only show the icon and no way to disable this stupid feature. Does anyone know if it's possible to turn this off? I can't find any way to. Edit: looks like I can stack the pinned tab on another tab and it'll expand like I want it to, so I'll use that as a workaround for now. Hooray dead empty tabs. Edit 2: scratch that, this makes new tabs stack with them if it's active. WELP. gibbed fucked around with this message at 12:48 on Dec 16, 2010 |

Anybody know how to turn off the dimming of the non-domain part of the URL? Also we've now got Extensions, Opera Unite, Widgets, and UserJS. And the only one I use is a single UserJS script.

I think extensions have potential. I've personally always found Unite and Widgets useless. I can see the utility in UserJS, but I've never found any need for it. Opera's suffering from feature bloat, but unlike most other software, it's not in your face or particularly impactful (is that a word?) on performance, thankfully. Edit: gibbed, I haven't really found that to be the case. What do you mean? I've really found nothing 'ruined' that can't be fixed by some tweaking. My biggest gripes were with keyboard shortcuts, but they've maintained a 9.2 compatibility profile, so that's not an issue. Aunt Beth fucked around with this message at 15:57 on Dec 16, 2010 |

I know us development types probably aren't the typical user, but I know I'd be perfectly happy with nothing more than rendering engine improvements. All these UI changes seem to come with a lot of ups and downs, so everyone turns out unhappy about something.

With 9.0 they changed how dialogs work so they are not modal, this isn't so much of a problem but how it's now is terrible (inlined into the page). I wouldn't have a problem with these changes if they would have stuck to their old philosophy of leaving it up to the user how they wanted things. I can adapt, but I really don't want to be forced to stop using my favorite browser in favor of something else that doesn't poo poo on what you like with new releases.

The old dialogs would not let you change tabs. But yeah, I don't like non-native looking/feeling UI elements either. I like tab stacking, I think. At least at home, where I often have dozens of tabs open, but related to each other. I don't like visual gestures, but thankfully that can be turned off. I've had no problems with gestures not being registered. I really don't like the new address bar that "hides the complexity of long web addresses." (btw, http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=kitten is a "complex" address that is shown as "http://www.flickr.com/search/", while http://www.flickr.com/photos/cubagallery/4220856234/ is not a "complex address") I also don't like the Opera not remembering the pages I've visited across sessions, but I don't remember anyone else complaining about that and this is at least the third time I've complained about it in this thread. e: ColdPie posted:Anybody know how to turn off the dimming of the non-domain part of the URL?

There's absolutely no benefit to anyone who knows how a URL is composed, and it just makes reading the rest more difficult.
