Title: Opera 11.0 is out
Post by: Agent4054 on December 16, 2010, 05:05:54 PM

...And it now has extensions (https://addons.opera.com/addons/extensions/). Finally! No more reason to use MemoryHog FireFox!

I will check out this thing again...
Does it still proxy everything? Or is that an urban legend and only did that for the mobile browser?

the proxy feature is called opera turbo and it's only enabled if you enable it.  I personally turned it on when I was at my parents place over ThanksGiving because it made surfing over my tethered smartphone much more useable (they only have dial-up and can't get dsl or cable, so i'm stuck turning my smartphone into a wireless router when i'm there for internet).

So Agent and nstuff are now both upgrading to Opera 11....that's probably the quickest any product's entire user base adopted the new version, and with Shoctor trying it out, it also comes with a 50% increase in installed users. Wow, this must really be a super duper improvement!


I keed, I keed ;) It's good to see Opera hanging around in the face of so many other good browsers out there now.

1.   Firefox    49.86%
2.   Internet Explorer 25.60%

3.   Chrome    14.84%
4.   Opera    6.08%

5.   Safari    3.33%


Very sad.

we won't be happy until opera breaks 50% on fites.net :)

According to this graph, Opera is still ~2% global marketshare.  Without opensource community clinging to firefox and multi-multi billion dollar companies nurturing safari, chrome, and IE, it's the only little spunky browser that continues to stay alive, innovate, and create something I truly enjoy using.  Yay for the little guy.

Don't forget Opera pioneered the tabbed interface and the wonderfully awesome speed dial.
