Ugh, is there a way to make a custom dropdown menu for choosing between cookie acceptance? It's annoying as gently caress to have to navigate all the way through the menus twice every time I want to log in to YouTube because of cross web site cookies.

While I think that would be possible, have you checked that the Cookies options in Site Preferences won't allow you to have it switch this setting per-site automatically?

Well, I actually tried setting YouTube to accept any cookies, but it still didn't let me log in until I changed the global setting. And besides, if I set it on an "Allow All or None", that would kind of defeat the purpose of monitoring your cookies at all, since a lot of sites have really extraneous cookies you don't need for the site to be functional (banner ads, tracking cookies, etc.).

While everyone is off for Christmas vacation, the desktop team is working hard on preparing a nice holiday gift for Opera users. On December 22nd we will release a 10.5 pre-alpha. We'll keep it a surprise for now, but the keyword is: speed.
Sounds like the long silence has had them working on a new something or other. Maybe hardware acceleration finally?

So presumably on Tuesday it'll be out as a pre-alpha.

Zhu Li, do the thing!
It seems that a 10.5 pre-alpha build has been leaked. The article mentions a number of noticeable changes, including integration with both Aero and the Windows 7 Superbar and per-tab private browsing.

Based on some benchmarks they ran against the 10.1 and 10.2 alpha, there doesn't seem to be any change in the Javascript performance, meaning we probably aren't getting Carakan this week. However, this is an internal build that was not ready to see the light of day so there might still be some hope yet to see Carakan.

Personally, I can wait a couple of days if it means we can get a slightly more ready pre-alpha build.

Considering their earlier comment was "the keyword is: speed", surely there must be something else? Nothing listed in this article could possibly considered "speed" unless you really stretch superbar stuff -> opening favorite pages in less clicks -> speed.

Private browsing is long overdue, though.

Hopefully "paste this into a bookmark, which I copied out of my bookmark" is a sufficient way to transfer it. Heck if I remember where I got it, but when the other one broke, I found this one and it still works.

KeepVid stopped working for me, and someone in the general SMall questions thread pointed me there. There's a bookmarklet you can grab from there site.

The official Opera 10.5 'pre-alpha' is out:

My first impressions are good, but bear this in mind:

This build is pre-alpha quality. It's intended as an early showcase for new technologies. It might freeze your computer, corrupt your data, embarrass you in front of your friends or worse. Don't upgrade your existing Opera installation with it.

Are gestures broken in the Pre-Alpha for anyone else?

Edit: Apparently they added some gesture sensitivity settings, but made them so you can't even get them as low as you are used to. gently caress.

New layout looks exactly like how I set up my netbook layout, which is cool. Doesn't look so hot on WinXP, but I'm sure when I get it home to Win7 I'll like it.

Performance is pretty good, even Wave is relatively speedy (though it's crashing all the time).

Presto 2.5 has support for both Web Storage and Web SQL databases. In Web Storage, you have the option to store the data temporarily (session storage) or for a longer time using local storage, which will store data until you explicitly clear it. Web SQL gives you the ability to create databases on the user's machine (using SQLite as a backend) so that you can store data in a more structured manner and even query it using SQL.

Holy poo poo. The stuff in here is loving NICE. The divided garbage collector sounds like it will fix a massive problem I have with certain operations taking ages due to me having ~90 tabs open at all times.

I can't till this hits a version where the gestures are fixed.

If you're using Mac OS, you will notice that Opera looks a lot more Mac-ish. This is the result of some big changes under the hood.

There's a lot of minor bugs in 10.5, but it's pretty absurdly fast. With 125 pages open it feels as responsive as chrome with a small number of pages open.

This is about the only reason I can't use 10.5 as my normal browser. That, and it can be a little on the horribly unstable side.

I haven't used Opera in a while, but I just have to say that the newest version has the most amazing silky smooth scrolling of webpages in a browser ever. It is seriously way beyond Chrome of FF in this regard at least.

Just start out without any ads blocked, then whenever you see something that annoys you, do these steps:
1. right-click the page and, activate the blocking mode
2. shift-click the offending ad
3. click edit
4. trim down the url and add * as a wildcard where appropiate
5. click ok

This way only those that actually do annoy you will get blocked.

In that case, get a restrictive one, load the website you want to show ads on, right-click the page, click "Edit Site Preferences", go to the "Content" tab and disable Content Blocking there.

Adding these two lines to the blocked content list works well enough for me:

ad*.*
*/ad*/*

If you see any other annoying ads that these two lines don't catch, take a look at the URL and add another pattern. Wildcards are pretty useful like that. :)

It seems that Opera released another pre-alpha build. There's a UNIX build and support for that <video> element (but not for Mac apparently) complete with a Opera Core Team blog post about the <video> element.

EDIT: Guys, it's been at least 30 minutes now and this new build hasn't crashed on me. :ohdear:

EDIT 2: OK, YouTube acts funky if you scroll while a video is playing.

That'd be great, Opera not crashing if it's left open for more than 10 minutes.

I got that strange YouTube behavior and had it crash once but so far this is a dream of an alpha. Very fast and lots of nice little things (rearranging Tabs is very easy and smooth now). However, I hate that they got rid of the super streamlined Inline Find and now have a clumsy Find bar.

Why? It still pops up if you hit . or / so why does it matter if it's a bar or not?

Unfortunately, the 10.5 pre-alpha crashes immediately on my 2009 MBP with Snow Leopard. It does so really fast, though!

Still, it's cool that they're willing to let the adventurous play with it, even though it isn't even approaching ready to go.
