I prefer the middle-click pan, but ctrl-alt-drag gives you hand-like scrolling, and enabling ScrollIsPan makes it always on.

In Preferences -> Advanced -> Toolbars, create a copy of the default menu layout. Open %APPDATA%\Opera\Opera 10 Preview\profile\menu\standard_menu (1).ini, delete the line "Submenu, M_WIDGET_MENU, Browser Widgets Menu". Restart Opera and switch the copied menu configuration and the Widgets menu will be gone. I'm not sure what you'd get out of this unless you use a very narrow browser window though, as it'll just leave more blank space after the Help menu...

I don't know; I run a stupid amount of tabs and just putting the tab-bar on the left side seems like it does everything I want it to do. My only real complaint is that it takes a while to close/open but it's not like I ever close it or reboot anyway.

I used to do that, then I realized the Window panel is both more space efficient and usable once you have enough tabs open.

You're right, it is the default behavior, but on a Mac laptop I'm always command-clicking, which I guess is something else. Guess I just need to use my travel mouse more.

Ctrl-Shift clicking on the PC opens the link in a background tab, and there should be some similar combination on the Mac version.

That's what the proxy servers are for. Opera connects to the unite server, then waits for requests to come. Remote person connects to the unite server, unite forwards the request to Opera via the already open connection, then sends the response back to the remote person.

Anyone having issues on OSX with rapid moving threads and trying to go to the new posts? It seems like it keeps going to one that was clicked a few minutes ago.

It's doing this with the last post and even if I post twice within a few minutes taking me to the earlier post rather than the new one.

Setting Preferences -> Advanced -> History -> Check Documents to "Always" fixed that problem for me, but it'll make typical browsing performance slightly worse.

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.

Also, as someone who uses tabs as 'soft bookmarks' and has anywhere from 50 to 200 of them open at a time in 2-5 different windows, I really, really hope there's an option to turn off Aero Peek for individual tabs.

Running Opera in Vista compatibility mode should do it.

Opera doesn't support h264, so all that'll happen if you do manage to get Youtube to give you the HTML5 version is you'll get a video you can't play.

I back any standard that is freely re-implementable. h.264 doesn't have that feature. Theora is the best video codec that does, so it's the obviously best choice. You might not care about signing away your rights, but many people do, no matter how many little pictures you spit at them. And once again, there's no reason for Opera to support the more expensive and legally complex option until the market forces them to. In the meantime, they can support the cheaper, simpler option in the hopes that it wins out.

I prefer to back standards that aren't loving terrible.

I'm very glad that 10.50 starts up quickly, as I've had to restart it every hour or two precisely because of that. It's sort of amusing how horribly it breaks when it hits 10,000 and stops being able to make more GDI objects.

With 140 tabs open it's leaking 5-10 GDI objects every time I switch tabs.

Also it looks like there's no longer any way to change the sizes of individual tab windows independently of that of the browser itself?

The new rendering engine means Opera no longer gets all of Windows's nifty MDI stuff for "free" and they haven't reimplemented it yet. They sounded somewhat noncommittal about actually doing it, so if it's important to you I'd recommend saying so via the bug thingy.

I wrote some userjs to work around the problem. I really hope they fix it before final though, as having to manually add support for every single site that uses a jump to unread button is sort of awful.

code:

// ==UserScript==
// @include       http://forums.somethingawful.com/*
// ==/UserScript==
window.addEventListener('load', function(e) {
    if (!document.body) return;
    if (window.location.toString().indexOf("forumdisplay.php") > 0) {
        var links = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
        var now = (new Date()).getTime();
        for (var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
            if (links[i].href.indexOf("goto=newpost") > 0) {
                links[i].href += "&now=" + now;
            }

I guess Opera crashed a lot when I was using an alpha version of flash and occasionally the snapshots aren't very stable, but other than that I basically never see crashes. Even with 350 pages open it doesn't take all that long to start, too.

I'm currently at 460 tabs open and I think I've finally hit the limit of what Opera can handle as I have to disable javascript before restarting it or on startup it hits 2 GB of ram and crashes

I just leave anything I intend to look at again in the future open, using bookmarks only for things I very infrequently use.

So is Opera not going to work any further on 10.70 and putting all of their effors on 11? Or are they still going to release a release build of 10.70?

10.70 = 11. They just changed the version number when they added extensions.

It's not a bug; Opera just can't read your mind and know that you wanted to exit the program rather than close that window. After the first time that bit me I got in the habit of always closing Opera with commands that unambiguously mean exit (alt-f4, file -> exit, right click on tray icon -> exit, etc).

If the closed window isn't showing up in the closed tab list before you exit, that is a bug.

Edit: Oh my god, gestures are kicking my rear end. I've got my threshold to 5 and the gesture UI turned off and still can't nail GestLeft, GesRight or vice versa with anywhere near the speed or accuracy I could in 10.6. Arrrggghhhh.
Edit2: It seems to only be for left/right stuff, where even the slightest deviation from horizontal translates to up and down. Up/Down gestures seem to be very tolerant and behave with good response. Thresholds don't seem to alter this.

I have the threshold at zero and can only do up + down maybe 10% of the time now, which I never had the slightest bit of trouble with before, and a single pixel of movement is no longer enough to trigger the single movement gestures. I guess if I have to I'll just get more precise with gestures, but it's pretty annoying.
