Holy crap Opera 10 is FAST. Facebook has never felt this responsive. What're some good pages to test out javascript performance?

hobolooter posted:I'm still getting many random issues with Facebook, GMail, and SA. All of these sites I tend to frequent on a regular basis. Opera tends to do things to piss me off, but having pages fail to work properly is just really obnoxious. An example is posting to someones wall on facebook, it doesn't show up. So I mashed the enter key thinking it was just slow and it posted like 7 times. GMail often gets stuck between inbox and compose, which is just a hassle to refresh. The facebook wonkiness was fixed a few releases ago, you should probably upgrade.

However to the normal person the concept of "I can have my friend listen to a song on my computer without waiting ten minutes to upload it to somewhere?" will be pretty amazing. This is exactly who it's marketed to, and goes well with the whole "Opera Community" thing they have going.

Casao posted:I thought so, but that's not the case. If you mask as Firefox, it doesn't work either, and viewing the source, they pass the video tag both cases and the text you see is the fall back text - either Opera has an issue with using a bold tag in the fall back text, or video is broken in opera 10. drat you're right, I tried masking right after I posted. Looks like video is broken

Never understood the concept of people complaining about browsers using their precious memory. Opera still runs really well on piss poor computers, better than any other browser I've played with in any case.

Every time I use Chrome I'm always left feeling "If it only did X like Opera". Glad to hear it's going to be webkit based. We'll be getting the best of both worlds I hope.

I really hope Vivaldi turns out to be a great browser with all/most of the same features of Opera 12.

Dunno how some of you can use vivaldi. It feels like a step back even from Chropera or whatever :p. It's DPI font scaling is attrocious
|
# ¿ Jun 8, 2015 18:41 |

That's next gen font scaling I've also been using chromopera for ages now and haven't really looked back at 12.xx The only thing I miss are the scalable tabs and certain per website settings you could do in 12.

I have no idea how you can use Vivaldi. It somehow manages to be a step back even compared to Opera Chrome Edition. It's slower and clunkier and has even worse Hi-DPi support. I've moved from Opera 12 for some time now and the only thing I miss is Big Tab Mode.

YF-23 posted:That is a kind of stupid comparison to make though. The speed of opening and closing tabs is vastly unimportant to how quick the browser is at everything that actually has to do with dealing with page content (yet more importantly, how able the browser is at doing that in the first place). Make a comparison test with that, grab 5 or 10 commonly used websites and see how well Opera 12 vs Vivaldi does. Because viewing websites is why you are using a browser, not opening or closing tabs. You're wrong on this though. The entire UX needs to be speedy, period. Anything else leads to a bad UX. I'd argue that moving around the interface is of more importance than rendering speed. Specifically when you're dealing with people who have 80+ things open at once. I know some of you have some weird/twisted soft spot for Vivaldi at the moment, but as far as UX goes, it fails pretty badly.

YF-23. I think you're missing the point of what some of us are saying. It's great that Vivaldi can render pages properly, like any modern browser should and that Opera 12 is starting to get long in the tooth. Where Vivaldi fails at is pretty much all other aspects of the UX (tab switching, tab opening, generally getting around the browser, etc). It'll probably get some speedup, but at its core it's going to be a slow pile of poop. Personally, I'd almost prefer faster UX vs. 100% Web Page Rendering .

So I just switched from Chrome Opera to Vivaldi Chrome and so far I like it, especially since adblock and lastpass work properly now. Performance is a bit wonky on my laptop when it's on battery but otherwise quite solid. Very happy they fixed blurry text on HI-DPI screens. That buyout makes me squeamish so I guess it's a good thing I'm switching over

I had an issue with sound on my laptop when on battery because Vivaldi would use 100% CPU but that's about it. Probably some weird bug between your sound driver and the browser.
