Goddamnit. Opera 12 on Windows in the past week or so has started crashing randomly for no reason that I can see.

I've been using Opera since I've had my own computer (v8 or so - the first ad-free version). Guess its time to move on to Chrome. Been a good run. I'll miss the UI customizations I've had running for the longest time.

Ah interesting. So basically conclusion of that thread is that TLS1.1 and1.2 cause the crashes somehow (which seems really weird, since the crashes occur seemingly randomly, and not when just loading a new page). Since SSL3 is not secure anymore, basically the only thing that should be enabled is TLS1.

If anyone wants, a fix for Youtube comments (and maybe some other Google properties?) is changing the User Agent string to identify as Firefox.

You can also apply it only for specific domains

Which sucks because Opera 12 is still king of the hundreds of tabs open use-case.

Did the update to the forum absolutely wreck everything for the last few 12 users or is it just me?

That "issue" of being unable to directly highlight linked text is my most hated thing about Chrome (and it looks like any chrome-based browser).

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.

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.
Yeah, this was awesome.

And it served as somewhat of a workaround for sites that failed to render properly (e.g. Humble Bundle having all its clickable links break) if you knew what you were looking for.

Has anyone had ALT+D break in Vivaldi?

I think it happened with the latest update to 1.2.490.39 for me

Turns out you can just add it back in as a shortcut under keyboard shortcuts. Guess it got removed for some reason?

Holy hell does the new UI for Opera mobile (android) suck! I don't think I ever actively hated so much a UI change, but this one takes the cake.
What did they do to it? And what version? Haven't noticed anything changed yet on my phone.

OK, Vivaldi has been annoying me lately with a few changes that aren't modifiable.

First, the "typed" history in the address bar that I can't find a way to disable - I have no interest in polluting my address bar drop down with random google queries, so I activated the split search (search field in address bar) and just tab over when I want to run a search.

Now they've added a button in the address bar that toggles "reader view", which happens to take tab focus (so two tabs to get to the split search field). OK fine, two tabs it is. But it's completely inconsistent when it appears - sometimes it appears other times it's not. So now half the time I'm not focused in the search field and and end up hitting navigating to somewhere completely random (whatever last had focus when I hit enter basically).

Or just turn autocomplete off and arrow down to suggestions.

Well that's annoying. Updated to Vivaldi 1.9 and had a broken address bar that had no dropdown. Reverted back to 1.8 and somehow that trashed all my extensions. gently caress.

EDIT: OK...so reinstalling extensions kept their old settings, so it looks like the downgrade just made Vivaldi temporarily forget?? I'm confused, but whatever, things are back to normal. I'm getting curmudgeony.

"Unable to complete secure transaction" :rip:

It's sad times when you have to throw away a perfectly good browser because of minor things like being unsupported for three years and not supporting any modern crypto standards.
Can 12.18 still access the forums? I think that was released for Windows only.
Booted 12.18 up, SA forums seem to be working.

Did anything come of the source code leak?

Since various services like Fastly are migrating:

If you have issues with HTTPS, enable TLS 1.2 in the encryption settings.

That may be off in various installations due to a 2014 bug that caused Opera to disable them via the auto-update feature.
If you don't mind random crashing. That wasn't a bug, that was a patch Oldpera pushed to work-around the random crashing since they didn't want to bother to fix it since they were already onto Newpera.

EDIT: See discussion of this starting in the middle of this page. Apparently I was the first to bring up the random crashing.

Did it get itself hidden off screen or super minimized (i.e. window made 0x0 in size) somehow? Try using <Win> + <arrow> keys to move it back / resize

Reverting to 1.13 - did 1.14 break address bar dropdowns for anyone else?

Yeah. All it did was disable it for me though. I went into options and just turned them on.
Options were still set correctly on mine, tried flipping them back and forth to no effect. :shrug:

Wait for the next version for me I guess.

I've run into a few other issues as well, but they're mostly nitpicks (like why is copying from the address bar so drat finnicky?) at this point.
Yeah have no idea how this even becomes a problem in the first place. Right click menu copy always works at least.
