Blue Moonlight posted:Speaking of Widgets improvements, are there any widgets that anybody here actually uses? This is handy because it's more flexible than the translation stuff built into Opera, and I think that the Google translator does a better job. This is also a nice little replacement for your average weather applet.

Given that Flash and QuickTime both support h.264 video, and are free downloads, I suspect that the licensing issues are more of a legal problem than a monetary one. Opera is using the open source gstreamer framework as a back end, and Firefox is open source from back to front, which can lead to issues.

Theora as a codec isn't terrible. The problem is that the encoding tools available are very primitive by comparison to anything that's come out of MPEG lately. More importantly, though, can we take the religious arguments to another thread or something?

This article on betanews goes into some detail, including the fact that there are still licensing issues, even if nobody is technically getting charged for anything. As far as I can tell nothing has been simplified. Someone in the comments mentioned that Google may be in the process of acquiring On2, whose VP3 codec formed the basis for Ogg Theora. Has anybody else heard of this? Because if it does happen and Google opens up all of On2's codecs (some of which are pretty drat nice), things may get real different real quick. (Comedy "anybody else remember Ogg Tarkin" answer.)

Lakitu7 posted:Man, we had new builds every day and even multiple some days last week and now it's nothing since the Beta. I was getting all spoiled. Betas generally need to be more stable because they're much more widely advertised. If you don't follow the Opera Desktop Team blog, it's unlikely you would have seen any of the pre-alphas, but the 10.50 beta is linked from the main Opera download page.

I've found that the important thing when you've having crashy test versions and want to start over, is not cleaning out the program install directory, but getting rid of your configuration and profile information in your application data folder.

Anunnaki posted:The mouse gesture for copy link still seems to be broken as well. However, they seem to have fixed the GDI leak. What's a normal memory usage for a web browser? Right now, with 7 tabs open, it's using 243 MB. Memory usage in Opera is a tricky thing, because if you set the memory cache to "auto" it will gobble up free memory to expand the cache and make browsing faster. This is by design, obviously, and you can turn it off if you don't like it doing that. The problem people have been seeing with the 10.50 series so far is leaks in the creation/release of GDI objects, which is an entirely different thing and unrelated to how much memory it's using.

People upgrading from the other labs releases to beta 2 and having problems should consider backing up your bookmarks (Opera menu tab -> "Settings" -> "Import and Exports" -> "Export Opera bookmarks") and then doing a full uninstall, followed by wiping out both the install and user profile directories by hand. I just did that, as a precaution, and Beta 2 is very stable and exceedingly fast. Yes, this is sort of a pain, but people who use alpha/beta software should be used to it by now.

Thyrus posted:Hm, the RC is a lot less buggy but for some reason i can't get it to turn off the windows 7 taskbar jumplist. Having that on just isn't acceptable because all I get is a long list and it makes going back to the browser a real bitch. You can make pretty much any program stop having any Win7-specific features (like jump lists and the like) by running them in Vista compatibility mode. Find the EXE or shortcut, go to the properties, then the "Compatibility" tab. This works even if the program itself doesn't have a "turn off jump lists" sort of option, like with MSN Messenger or Steam or something.

What version of the Flash plugin are you using? I'm using the v10.1 beta 2, for comparison's sake. Oh hey, beta 3 is out. Maybe that's what's crashing, if you're using it?

Nope, I am running Win 7 x64 as well. Still no problems. Now, I did do a completely fresh install of 10.5, including getting rid of my user directories and starting over entirely from scratch (except the bookmarks). Maybe there's something going on there, I don't know.

I mean, I guess I have the memory to spare, but I'm kind of OCD about it. If you're OCD about it, you can go into Preferences -> Advanced -> History and set the memory cache to something other than "Automatic".

Do you have the memory cache set to "automatic"? If you think Opera is using too much memory, change that to something fixed.

Speaking of Flash, the 10.1 RC2 release seems to be working a lot better with the Opera 10.52 build I'm running that the earlier versions. YMMV obviously, and make sure you run the uninstaller first.

Go to the forum options and set "Adjust the page position to the top of the requested post after the page loads" to "Off". That way the forums won't deliver the Javascript that adjusts things after the fact, and Opera will just rely on the page anchor to position the page, which is how things are supposed to work but other browsers like to gently caress it up. Opera will probably wait until the page loads completely (i.e. all images) before it scrolls to the right spot, but this always works for me.

Blodskur posted:Opera 11 will have extensions. It's about loving time. I'd love to see them set up some sort of formal specification based on standards that other browsers can adapt, but somehow I expect that other browsers would just ignore such a thing. Interestingly, "The upcoming Opera 11 alpha will be based on the current Opera 10.70 builds, which also means we will not ship a 10.70 final."

I did a completely clean install, wiping out my user data and using Opera Link for keeping bookmarks, and the v11 alpha seems noticeably quicker, although that may be New Car syndrome and/or due to my old crufty install going away. No crashes so far, which is better than the v10.70 series did. I'm even using the recent Flash beta and everything is stable. Things are still a little quirky in places but no outright crashes. The one thing that I've noticed missing is being able to change the "plug-ins on demand" setting on a site-by-site basis, like nearly everything else. This would be really helpful.

It would not surprise me at all if the "load plug-ins only on demand" function is what's actually increasing stability, just by preventing all those badly-written Flash ads from loading.
