Speaking of "innovation". They recently released their new Chromera ad blocker and tout it as being faster than the ones in FF/Chrome, which it is, by being built-in, instead of a JS addon, which is fine. They made a lot of effort in implementing ui so you can see how much it blocked and how much faster the page loaded, and even has a benchmark widget to compare page load side by side with and without ad blocker. However it comes with a preset whitelist (including among others facebook), to which you can add things if you so desire; and otherwise has exactly two options: 1. On 2. Off Yep, you can't block urls yourself, you can't remove individual blocks, you can only take what they decree, or allow all ads on a specific website.

Disable JS by default in Opera, and make heavy use of the URL blocker, and then do the following to set up buttons and menu entries to open links in other browsers, directly from inside Opera: I don't know why I clicked this thread, but thanks for this. Been using Chrome for a few years now and GOD I miss Presto Opera. If I could somehow open Chrome/FF/IE browser tabs inside Prestopera for poo poo like Facebook/Youtube I think I could finally be okay with things.

Conversely, I've converted over to Vivaldi entirely, after the Opera/China announcement. It's no Presto, but it's a drat sight better than FF/Chrome.

Just made the switch over to Vivaldi as well from 12. It does chew up a considerably more amount of memory as can be expected, but yeah, they seemed to have checked off enough of the boxes that I wanted. Also having actual adblock extensions rather than the cobbled together list I stopped updating is nice. lurksion fucked around with this message at 18:32 on Apr 6, 2016 |

For RSS/Newsreading stuff, I've set up my own TT-RSS instance, and just log in from anywhere. The only feature I really, really miss from Opera 12 was the filterable Links panel/sidebar. If you never realized it was there (which, with all the other features of Opera, is entirely understandable), all it did was list all the links on the current webpage, and had a little searchbox at the top. You could filter it down to, say, all the PDFs on a page, highlight them all, right-click, save-as, and everything would start downloading. Stupid-useful for stuff like https://www.humblebundle.com which lists out all the stuff you've bought, but doesn't actually (ironically) bundle it up for you. Opera 12 (and under) is the only browser I've ever seen that did that.

Vivaldi seemed awesome when I first started it. But after I customized everything, it got really slow and laggy when zooming, scrolling... everything really. Tried disabling extensions, but no dice. Don't think it's my computer, it's a new 6600 i5 with 16 gigs of RAM. Any clues what it could be?

Is there a way to disable the web page preview on vertical tab bar? So tabs would only show the favicon and page title.

You asked why it's slow. As far as i'm concerned that poo poo there is the answer, since it's the UI of this browser.

Vivaldi seems usable now and it has as close to the Opera 12 tab management as any other browser or plugin or extension I've tried. It'll still take a while to ween me off Opera 12 though. As such anyone remember how to edit the right click open with menu in Opera 12 to add Vivaldi in there? Also how to make a right click open in on links? I used to be on top of this 8 years ago but haven't delved into Opera ini's since user specific setting folders etc came on the scene. I had a look around standard_menu.ini but can't find what I'm looking for.

I've been trying Vivaldi for a bit. It feels nice and quick. It's surprisingly good. The worst part is the same thing as what Chrome does in that Extensions are disabled during private browsing.

I find that vivaldi suits all of my needs just fine and this is apparently very early in their development so that's good! I wanted a super lightweight, highly customizable browser with good extensions and it works. Now if only I can fix this stupid speed dial page to show something other than a poorly formatted screenshot of the website; I quite like big website logos like in Opera. Seriously, the image for google.com isn't even centered. I just wish there was safari for windows, I guess. jokes fucked around with this message at 08:32 on Apr 12, 2016 |

I don't mind the screenshots (although icons for some sites would be better) but I find it keeps losing the images and just showing a plain white square, which is pretty useless.

I think it's just the cached version of the page expiring. If you hit F5/Refresh while on the speed-dial page, it will go through and refresh all the sites. However, it doesn't apply extensions against them, so if there are big garish ads, you'll see them on the thumbnail. Why it (and Old Opera before it) don't just kind of... automatically refresh them in the background, I dunno.

Depends on the site. I kinda think some of them (Amazon is a real offender for this with my speed dial) have to do with anti-robot code.
