“It is hard to find sensible people around browsers lately.”

Says the Firefox fanboy who thinks Chrome will magically become slower with version 5 despite only becoming faster and faster with each version…

BTW, the ballot screen will be there for five years.

Oh no! Some Firefox fanboy who doesn’t even use Opera complains about trivial UI issues that won’t even affect anyone!

You do seem to have a tendency to ignore facts. I guess it must hurt to be a fan of the slowest browser (except IE).

Chrome will keep beating Firefox, and Firefox will fade away into obscurity.

Not a single one of the sites you mentioned in your so called list “outright fails” in Opera 10.10.

As soon as you post a list of major sites that do, as well as apologize for your rudeness, I will happily give you my login details.

cheap.

if you’ve coded for mozilla for 3 or so years (ff1.5) then tell us what your login on bugzilla is – it is all trackable. otherwise it is just hot air being wasted.

list was given above – and you did with it that what i expected – told me that ‘my computer is corrupt’ and that there is everything okay while it clearly isnt. so why should i waste my time?

And may I remind you, you have resorted to accusations rather than naming any major sites such that Opera 10.10 “outright fails” . I’m still eagerly waiting.

Thanks for the only sane answer I’ve got here. It is hard to find sensible people around browsers lately.

i know that they have to. i know the reasons, and i even can state, that it is most probably opera desktop be or not to be moment.

there wont be any more ballot screens and free advertisements. chrome and safari became major browsers, and google has all the means (even the dirty ones) to promote chrome. they’ve played html5 video chaos card perfectly.

now the average joe knows that ‘html5 video is good’. but is too stupid to understand that whole h264 debacle. and now we have youtube that is ‘cool because it supports html5 video’ and look, opera and firefox arent cool, because it doesnt work there.

this alone makes chrome + and opera/firefox -.

what i think opera could have done better was to drop EVERYTHING else for some time and concentrate on the desktop. i know the old song of ‘but these are different developers..’ but this is..

bullcrap. mobile C++ programmer is perfectly capable of fixing small glithes in desktop C++ code. thats why you hire GOOD coders, to shift them in emergencies. and opera has good, very good coders.

but they try to do 5 major things at once, and that led to few mobile tech demos and one half baked desktop. no final product :/

and, oh. opera autoupdate doesnt work as smooth as firefox or chrome one, people will get mad about updated
